It looks like Sega really is open to anything when it comes to Sonic – as the company announced today Killing Sonic the Hedgehog. Although it might be a funny joke, it is actually a real game.
This new Sonic game is described as a visual novel point-and-click adventure that takes place on Amy’s birthday, where she throws a murder mystery party for all her friends on the Mirage Express. Sonic becomes a victim of the game and from then on it’s up to you to get to the bottom of things.
“Is this really an innocent game, or is something more sinister brewing? Join the colorful cast of the Sonic the Hedgehog series in an exciting new adventure!”
Players will be asked to interrogate some of their favorite Sonic characters as they figure out what happened to the blue blob. You’ll even play as a new character starting his first day on the job. This story is supported by completely hand-drawn landscapes and characters. Although not available on console devices, it is free to download via Steam on PC.
