This is everything video games are meant to be. This is that short novel little game you'd find on itch at it's most finely crafted

The story is like a episode from my ideal version of a Sonic cartoon, a really good episode, where the plot premise is executed great and everyone present is at its best

except it's not a cartoon episode, it's a visual novel, meaning you get even more time with these characters. And it lets you be more hands-on with the mystery premise, it's really neat that even though the plot does have a twist and there is a real villain involved, the murder mystery part of the game is still a thing you can and do get to solve

It makes complete sense that this game exist as it is, this was the only logical outcome of a Social Media team wanting to do a April Fools visual novel like other brands when said team consists and/or has a network of artists and writers who spent their 2000s deep in DeviantArt and forums and really love Sonic the Hedgehog (and said series has a strict policy against romance)

if they do end up making more of these, I hope it stays about the same scope and lenght, I just want more fun little Sonic stories
