Earlier on today, the official Sonic Twitter account said that they've been listening to feedback from fans, and that a new direction for Sonic would be coming soon - and as it turns out, that new direction is... murder.
Kicking off this year's April Fools celebrations, SEGA has officially announced and released a new Sonic game titled 'The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog', a point-and-click murder mystery visual novel created by the Sonic social media team.
From the game's Steam description:
It's Amy Rose's birthday, and she's hosting a murder mystery party on the Mirage Express! 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?
Join the colorful cast of the Sonic the Hedgehog series in an exciting new adventure!
The game is available to download and play on Steam for free.
