This just in: Sonic is dead, and you have to solve his murder case in The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, an actual real game that doesn't make you an April fool.
April first is frequently the worst day of the year, predominantly because companies will announce products that we all might actually want, only for them to say "haha, we got you, this isn't real you ding dong." Video game developers are no different, often pretending to announce visual novel versions of their games that everyone would actually play, as if it's some kind of joke. Sega did just that yesterday, except the real twist is that it's a real video game where you have to solve the mystery behind Sonic's death. No, seriously, this article isn't an April fools either, here's the Steam page to prove it.
"It's Amy Rose's birthday, and she's hosting a murder mystery party on the Mirage Express!" reads the game's description on Steam. "When Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the game's victim, everyone is off to get to the bottom of things. However, something feels a bit off - is this really an innocent game or is something more sinister afoot?"
