So I played THE MURDER OF SONIC THE HEDGEHOG And... 

The only thing I didn't like writing wise when there was the option to say something over the train intercom and the only 2 options were to beat box or say "if you can hear this, your armpits stink" I cringed so hard and wished I could just back out, but I chose beat box.

@@mamodokod4613 For me personally, that made me chuckle. Especially the other character's responses if you choose, "if you can hear this, your armpits stink". It really fits with the awkwardness of the character, which is what they were going for. Of course, this is just my opinion. Each to their own.

The player character was a real root🤣🤣 they made a lot of funny moments out of him😂

@@ZenithintheMaking yes I relate to ‘Barry’ too much 😂

I love how they went all "What would Sonic do in situations like this?" Ah yes, what would the dead guy who got murdered do? Who cares about the detective investigating, what would the dead conductor do if he's still alive?

yes sorta like anime, sega could produce more of these games while we wait for the bigger titles. these would be like little filler arcs essentially while the bigger ones would be like the actual anticipated arc

If we would have more games like this but longer length like 6 hours and numerous chapters then I think this may be a great path for the future. And probably more game modes like this one 😍 It feels like you could really sink into the characters because you're always watching them😊

@@ZenithintheMaking yeah and it would save games like frontiers the need to expostion dump the remind people of existence of other characters and plot threads, cause alot of people whined and moaned when frontiers did that, although i loved it.

Comparing this to IDW is pretty insulting tbh. The art is pretty similar id give you that. It's just a fun little side story nothing really compares to it.

@@evanmanor7444 its not insulting both IDW fun/engaging in my opinion. . I consider this like a little filler arc in the sonic games.

Yes!!!! With tiny lore drops of characters and world building stuff

Would love that

How about a remaster or port of knuckles chaotix

@@TheRealUnkn0wn_289 they would have to get fans to work on it like this project then.

It also has a special line of dialogue at the beginning when you put in your name, if you name yourself Phoenix Wright it'll say I wouldn't be able to show my face with that name, or something like that.

​@@mamodokod4613 It does that with longer names I believe, somebody tried to name themselves Chris Thorndyke and the same dialogue showed

​​@@poshiblitz I tryed to name my avatar as "Yoshi" and I get the same

I think it's based more so Danganronpa because of the THINK sections being literally minigames out of the game

@@mamodokod4613 I think the issues with Phoenix was actually an issue with the RegEx code that filters bad words out as it will find the "hoe" in pHOEnix and filter it out based on that.

Meanwhile look at everyone’s early 2010s Mary Sue oc and that’s where you’ll see the massive difference

there were moments where i felt like i was called out by the player character. "my social skills... nonexistant..." very accurate.

@@aminishnamedvaati Same!

Quite funny because "Barry" might be the best sonic "OC" to date. And he's just a normal guy with big dreams.

98%?! That makes it the most liked Sonic game of all time! They finally did it! They made a good Sonic game!

And even then a large portion of the negative reviews is just people meming about not being able to s*x a particular character

If I had a computer right now I’d instantly buy this game. Sadly I don’t because the last one we had broke last year. It was a family iMac we had since 2015.

@@roguereaver634 the fuck? 😱 people are creepy!

I just hope they can make sonic act shonen-like again, those super sonic bosses were cool but if theres anything i and many people love, its sonics shonen like banter and stuff between his enemies, like in the storybook games, if we can get that back in a sonic game again soon. I think we could really have somethin goin here

actually (🤓), i would say sonic in the 2010s was more about “embracing the weirdness” of the franchise and its fanbase… and that’s why it left a bad taste in people’s mouths. too little thought put into writing actual characters, too much thought put into memes and self-awareness for the sake of bad humor. i think what they’ve been doing in terms of writing these characters and their dynamics with each other is what has helped revive this franchise (the movies, frontiers, idw comics). doesn’t hurt that frontiers was fun to play, hell this game was fun to watch a playthrough of!

Yeah the sonic movies we pretty good. Sonic prime has also been great. This game was cute fun, wholesome and the writing was pretty good. The characters felt pretty alive. I have played a lot of the games in general but I've heard there has been good ones coming out recently. It seems like Sonic is having a bit of a Renaissance period.

Murder On the Orient Express, and the word "unhinged" is actually an adjective the player character uses to describe the group at one point.

Surprisingly (or not surprisingly) it's actually one of the best Sonic games I've played.

if its published by SEGA, then it no longer counts as a fan game then. It just so happens that the people behind this game are fans of Sonic

@@FengTheSlayer Technically, the team behind it isn't fans either. It was developed by literally the team who runs the social media account, not just a random group of fans but actual SEGA employees, just not game developers.

its not a fangame, it was developed by the social media part of sega with people from sonic team supervising it

Wait what

@Cameron Thomas The Sonic collection that came out last year (or the year before?) Is getting an update with playable Amy, GameGear games and a physical release.

but this game isn't about sonic origins so wouldn't make sense, plus it's free so....

@@cameronthomasfunnyclips Sonic Origins Plus. and yes i do agree that it would make a lot of sense as an inclusion

@@MarboTheMapo and you don't play as a Metroid in Metroid.

yeah i was thinking some of the music kind of gave off danganronpa vibes.

Then it wouldn't make sense that none of the characters remember you.

@@Adobo809 short term memory

That logically makes no sense 😂

@@kasiadinero1695 Touché

Character looks generic as hell like in Forces. They can’t make good designs for your OC insert.

it's a point and click game, I don't think it will happen sadly.

Porting to the consoles would be expensive and not something they would do for a game they are giving away for free. On the plus side, it's a pretty light game so you could probably run on pretty minimal PC hardware, like wouldn't even need a discreet GPU so long as your CPU has integrated graphics.

@@MistyKathrine good point on the older pc setup I could probably still run this, thanks!

Well, it is indeed a *very* well executed April Fool's joke!

It's only reading. The entire game. Some visual novels may have like voice acting moments but pretty much the majority of the time it will always be Full reading.

If you don't want to read it all, there's a bunch of fandubs by now.

Only reading. Game would’ve been impressive if they had optional voices and had reread history that shows all the previous textbox if you accidentally skipped.

The players murdered sonic lol

The way the sentence was typed made me think of this Re:Zero because the main character is practically a video game character always dieing to continue on in the show. You would probably understand if you would watch it😅

@@ZenithintheMaking Lol I'll check it out!

@@bounceycake1 Neat🤟

Fans could figure out a patch I guess

It's best known as the game that Penders sued over and resulted in the Pendering.

yeah it’s quite disliked throughout the community. it’s not a forces if-you-like-this-we-will-shame-you but people will probably raise an eye if you say you genuinely enjoyed it

I need to get that game. I know you can make Sonic be an asshole in it and I find that funny.

But Shadow the Hedgehog is already a third person shooter.

@@Gnidel i think they meant to modify some mechanics? The game would benefit from strafe, some sort of targeting and shooting from shoulder too (aside of shadow game being stupid with the replayability bullshit, its way too imprecise for this ganeplay)

Because this game wasn't made by Sonic Team. Seriously, Sonic team should just be replaced with the team that made this game.

@@MistyKathrine 💀

Okay, let's no go THIS far 😐 😐

@@MistyKathrine I'd like to see this team make a game like Sonic Frontiers, I assure you it would not go well.

@@sonicdml4175 They had Sonic Mania made by someone who wasn't part of Sonic team and that game was liked more than actual Sonic Team games. This is a recurring theme, Sonic Team only makes bad and mediocre games and there needs to be some changes.
