    Because I know what the organization wants, I don't like the new April Fool's game. It's riddled with propaganda and their intentions. They're not joking and they are declaring what they want to do before hand. It's especially sick and disturbing to me because true Sonic is based off of actual people on the Japan side of the company. Some of these characters...aren't just characters.

It's especially sick and disturbing to me because true Sonic is based off of actual people on the Japan side of the company. Some of these characters...aren't just characters. It's one of the hidden truths, so I don't hold it against people who don't know that. Also...some Japanese officials didn't have much of a hand in the game than said. Looks like I have to add here: No one has to believe me. I don't expect anyone to. I would appreciate if people would stop harassing me and being rude to me over a conversation I was having with someone else.… Expand

    The Murder of Sonic is a quirky addition to Sonic’s library, if not anything particularly ground-breaking. It might not make up for Sega trying to sell us the main menu and cutscenes for Sonic Origins separately, but it’s a nice gesture.

    The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a simple and short, but enjoyable visual novel that is graphically polished and, above all, completely free. The platforming minigame could have avoided the final difficulty spike, but if you are a fan of the blue hedgehog you should give it a chance.
