Fun Fact: This was a Creepypasta that got fairly popular. Then somebody made a game out of it. Pewdiepie played that game, and that drew traction to the OG story. But, the original Creepypasta was poorly written, and was removed from the Creepypasta wiki. And the creator, JCTheHyena, instead of taking the criticism to heart, threw a fucking tantrum.
@@explodingegg123 Yes. I like how somebody made a fangame, then the fangame was played by a youtuber, and then the original Creepypasta was removed only for JC to fucking cry about it lmao.
The secret message at the end of sonic.exe says: "This is a way to release ourselves. A spell to obtain our souls once more. But we must speak it - but when we speak - no sound. We are all deaf. So failure is inevitable. And I regret even entering my internal bet. With the devil inside of me. Immortality vs soul snatching. Gary Crook vs. Jake Shanley. Ambition is overrated." And that is the translation for you. Very similar to "One more time" ending Edit: HOLY SHIT SO MANY LIKES!
*i thought it said: “and my diseased soul screams, will you be the walker of my shadows? delight me with sinister sin, our funeral of euphoria, will break satan’s black heart.”*
Sonic.exe was a pretty terrifying game back then, he used to freak me out when i was a kid. Thank you for playing it Ryan! This brings back my childhood!
The old original Sonic.exe is probably the scariest, especially since it used to say your actual name at the ending. Unfortunately, the new version of the original cut that part out.
"Come on coward, show your face!" Clearly me and Ryan had very different first experiences. *I shut down my damn computer after Sonic asked to play hide and seek*
It's nice to see someone taking this game somewhat seriously. I feel like a lot of these creepypastas are very easy to make fun of, but people tend to forget that these projects were very much a product of their time and drastically influenced the direction of online content. Having Ryan play through Sonic.exe and trying to see its positives is a very refreshing experience.
I think what people hate most about EXE was the story behind it. Looking back it aged poorly and brought the actually decent game rendition (The only good part of the whole thing) down with it because of the hate train. I think it would have benefited with a better story.
@@elijahbarber111 most creepypastas started with "i bought this game from some dude and my friends said don't play it, but i did and felt something was off" then boom they die, so why the hate on sonic?
@@ali-kun7038 It was one of the first that spawned the whole trope. I don't recall any other story/creepypasta having the exact premise. People started doing the trope because of EXE's popularity trying to recreate the same thing which ultimately is why a lot of people hated video game CP's because they all started to sound the same besides BEN Drowned or NES Godzilla. Point I was saying before was that the game version of EXE is the only good part of the whole story including all the fangames like PC port or Spirts Of Hell.
8 years....8 years since this Creepypasta and game came out, and that I AM GOD still sent chills down my spine. That's when you know a Creepypasta was done right if it still gives you chills after all this time.
I remember one time my sister was going threw her sonic phase, I showed her the sonic exe game and told her it was the "normal" sonic. She likes Mario now. I've won but at what cost...
6:39 "And the cry of my sick soul you will be a pedestrian in my shadow, entertain me with the sinister break our funeral devil's black heart of euphoria."
God, a series that I remember watching since I was 10. Luigikid was my first youtuber that started the series for me. I still watch him because he's a really good youtuber and just loves what he does. Thanks for checking out the series ryan, helped me bring back some of the horrors to. 😂
Some also have voice acting. Not good voice acting but hey. You shouldn’t go into fan games expecting good voice acting. Some probably do, but there’s only so much you can do with a low budget.
I'm Just Creeped Out From When I Played It, When I Launched It, I Heard Everything It Does, And When I Used The Thing To Look At What It Looks Like Before Going To It, I Saw The Stuff In The Corner, But When I Went Onto It, It Was All Black, I'm Never Playing That Again.
I remember being a 10 year old kid watching Markiplier's game play and legit had nightmares of Sonic.EXE coming to get me 😂 these games are definitely a product of their time since creepypastas were on the rise and you couldn't really prove/disprove the stories, but at the same time watching them is very nostalgic.

Fun fact: The static that it is used after someone's death (the gray one) is copied from fnaf 1, when you get jumpscared by any animatronic, excluding golden freddy. Example: 16:43
Ah the memories, i remember when other youtubers played this for the first time like 8 years ago, i cant believe how long its been since creepypastas were still a big thing
Hey Ryan I just want to say thank you! Thank you for always making me feel wanted and happy. I’ve been watching since the beginning and just want to say you are awesome. You really make everyone happy when you upload. Keep it up man! You are awesome and never let anyone get you down because we are here for you! We always will be Ryan. We all love and appreciate you. Thanks❤️
@@austintherobloxgamer123 it means And the cries of my sick soul You will be my shadow walker Entertain me with sinful hearts Our funeral in euphoria break the devil's black heart
Man I remember accidentally finding this when I was like 8 cause I’d been playing the original sonic at the time. I didn’t even realize it was supposed to be scary lmao I also got ptsd when I played through final fantasy 6 and recognized kefka’s laugh
I’m sure you have seen these comments 101 times already but if you’re planning to do more I’d recommend Spirits of hell or Nightmare begging. And there’s a very well made FNF mod that I’m sure you’ll like especially the secret 4th song
As a full on sonic kid. This made me so happy. I haven't really been watching your videos lately but I'm gonna binge all the ones I haven't watched cause ive missed these 😂
I remember having trouble sleeping for a whole month after watching Sonic.exe content when it came out. It was years ago, and yet I still can't look at the unfamous "I am god" picture, it still scares me ! I guess that's what a simple yet well done creepypasta about your childhood is capable of :)
4:58 my honest opinion is eggmans level is the scariest the music is just so impactful on the level and the depth of it plus we know sonic won’t hold back infact he’s probably mad at eggman for the previous things he has done making eggmans death the most horrific
It is currently 11:00 and this got uploaded, I’m definitely going to have nightmares and …Well the fist one is… not the best or OG version actually one of the worst versions I’ve seen but it’s the thought that counts, kinda knew these videos would be coming but I’ll support you no matter what Ryan! Also, the remastered version (2nd game) is assuming that you have played or seen the OG version of sonic.exe, as it’s saying things such as “some things never change” and “you’re just as slow as last time”
Ryan its hard and confusing but each of the characters can survive in the original. There are different endings if you save some or all of the characters.
Wouldn't believe you make a video of it, if you ever want there's also the PC port which is more scary and really well done, there's also two mods of FNF about Sonic.exe, hope we'll see you playing them and nice video as always
The Japanese text in the original sonic.exe translates “And my diseased soul screams, Will you be my walker of shadows, Delight me with sinister sin, Our funeral of euphoria, Will break satan's black heart.”
Ayooo sonic EXE was such a nostalgic throwback for me because that mf always scared me as a kid. and I’m kinda glad i look back on it. You should definitely check out the FNF mod of sonic EXE tho-
There's few more pretty good takes on reinventing S.EXE *Sonic PC Port Remake* - probably the best one of the bunch, it's very similar "One More Time", but it's actually very well done, even with drawings *Sonic.EXE: Nightmare Beginning* - just one of those that tries to add some actual gameplay to EXE *Sonic.EXE: Spirits of Hell* - just like Nightmare Beginning, tries to fiddle with EXE and give it some gameplay
Hey Ryan just wanted to let you know that there is a really good sonic.exe game with with quite a few endings, the name is sonic.exe nightmare beggining, but you do you.
btw when it says "ready for round 2" it opened up something in your game files and the file is called "ready for round 2" and it's a continuation of the game
I hate to be THAT guy, but youre off by a long shot. Sonic.eXe is a creepypasta that follows the protagonist, Thomas Keller, getting a CD in the mail from his friend Kyle, who had been missing for two weeks. Tom plays the CD, and the events occur. Xenophanes/X is not a possessed Sonic, he is a creature that takes the form of him, due to the character being popular along media. Don't believe me? Ask ASTRA, the current owner of the .eXe story.
Such a nostalgic game!! If you want to see some amazing games related to sonic.exe then you should definitely check out spirits of hell and nightmare begining, there's alot of unique endings and a very interesting storyline!!
the text at 6:44 reads roughly "And the cry of my sick soul. You will be my shadow pedestrian. Small hands please entertain me. Our 2/5 ceremony of seasonal drunkenness . The feeling of the east side breaks my heart."
"AND THE CRY OF MY SICK SOUL... YOU WILL BE A PEDESTRIAN IN MY SHADOW. ENTERTAIN ME WITH SINISTER SINS, OUR FUNERAL OF EUPHORIA BREAKS THE DEVIL'S BLACK HEART." (It's the Japanese translation of the end text of original sonic.exe)
The Japanese text at the end of og (not my words, just looked it up): There is a way to release ourselves. A spell to obtain our souls once more. But we must speak it - but when we speak - No sound, we are all deaf. So, failure is inevitable. And I regret ever entering my eternal bet With the devil inside of me. Immortality vs Soul snatching Gary Cook vs Jake Shanley Ambition is overrated
If your thinking of playing another one of these, you should play the sonic PC port remaster by JoeDoughBoi. It’s by far one of the scariest and best sonic.exe games out there.
6:46 This is what the message says: And my diseased soul screams, Will you be my walker of shadows, Delight me with sinister sin, Our funeral of euphoria, Will break satan's black heart.
What does the Japanese text says from Sonic.exe in English translation: "And my diseased soul screams, Will you be my walker of shadows, Delight me with sinister sin, Our funeral of euphoria, Will break satan's black heart."
If you wanna play more Sonic.exe you should play Sonic.exe spirits of hell, your choices shape the ending of the game. I Don't know if it is still availible to play but it's cool.
here's the translation for the end of the video : "And the cry of my sick soul You will be a pedestrian in my shadow Don't let me point your hand at our funeral of euphoria"
