However, characters will occasionally demand you explain your logic, and these are presented as brief auto-runner sections where you must collect a certain amount of rings while jumping over pits and avoiding obstacles. The interrogation scenes involve a mix of answering multiple choice questions and submitting evidence from your inventory, both of which are fairly easy to do since you won’t have to gather much evidence to figure out what’s going on. Once you’ve examined enough relevant items, Tails will point out that it’s time to interrogate the people in each room on their whereabouts and alibis. You can examine highlighted items in the background, either remarking on them or picking them up depending on whether they’re relevant to your investigation. The story plays out as an adventure game with a large emphasis on talking to characters. However, with the train suddenly going at breakneck speeds and Sonic seeming to be in pain, everything might not go according to plan… Among the people that board the train, one of them ends up ‘killing’ Sonic, and your job is to facilitate the solving of this mystery by assisting Tails, finding clues and figuring out who the murderer is. You play as a nameless employee starting your job aboard the Mirage Express luxury train, which has been booked to hold a murder mystery party for Amy Rose’s birthday. However, it surprises by not only being a fully-fledged adventure title, but a charming and well-written mystery worth checking out for Sonic fans and people looking to get into Japanese-style adventure games. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, an adventure/visual novel released for free on April Fools’ Day 2023, looks like it’ll be any other ironic ‘dating sim’ parody of the genre from a popular brand.
Sonic the Hedgehog has dabbled in plenty of genres over the last thirty-plus years, but one place nobody expected it to go in any official capacity was adventure gaming.
