Set during Amy’s birthday, the gang of Sonic characters including Knuckles, Tails, and Espio are taking part in a murder mystery party in which Sonic is the game’s victim. “However, something feels a bit off - is this really an innocent game or is something more sinister afoot?”, asks theSteam page.
Today is April Fool’s day, the annual event during which all the institutions you normally trust to cut through the internet’s avalanche of misinformation decide instead to lob snowballs at you. I can’t complain when game developers decide to use the date as an excuse to make a daft idea into a legitimately interesting, fun and free video game, however.
