ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2022
- Sonic EYX is a Sonic creepypasta horror game that was released just 2 months ago for Luigikid’s EXE challenge. It may not seem like much at first glance, but after experiencing the intro alone you’ll come to understand that this isn’t just any EXE game.

This channel is underrated
At the end where all the characters are shown, you point out that Ray isn't destroyed. I'm pretty sure that isn't ray but actually the pink one (I forgot her name).
ever heard of sonic.err and one more round. I would love to see you make a video on one of those games.
Ray Appeared In Sonic Mania
Just like to point out a flaw in the script. At 12:28 , you said that Ray's picture isn't broken when it's actually Amy's
Edit: it's easier to see this if you turn up your brightness
I love the part with normal Sonic. The sunset, the grass and dirt, Sonics own sprites. It just feels so... refreshing, and nostalgic. And the music. Oh, the music. It's sounds like standing outside, under a tree, as wind blows and the grass still has dew on it.
@Gheywrld How
@Gheywrld lmao
ok
@Gheywrld homosexual
Honestly
Until he sees a person from the distance…
I love that such a shitty concept like the Sonic.EXE creepypasta can spawn so much creativity. Everything bad is good for something I suppose.
That's why it's as popular as it is. The fans have done more than what the creator could've done with it. That... and the OG creator is a complete ass.
I don't think calling it a shitty concept is a fair statement. I would say it's more oversaturated. Sonic.exe is a historical point when it comes to internet horror and though horror has evolved to the point where we look back on it now and cringe we have to step back and realize it was a stepping stone and a first of its kind during its time.
@@Missingno0479 Have you actually read the original story?
@@zalybrainlessgenius503 yes I have and I know a creepypasta written in 2012 is cringe what I'm saying is it was an integral stepping stone to modern day internet horror it was the first of its kind and later became a template for internet horror
@@zalybrainlessgenius503 it wasn't good but the first game of it delivered what it says better imo
My only real problem with a lot of EXE games is that, no matter how hard they seem to try and do the Sonic.EXE formula right, they always end up falling to the same tropes.
They'll change things up, sure, but every last one of these just ends up being a "wait for the jumpscare" simulator.
It'd be nice to see one that doesn't use jumpscares to scare the player. One that actually lets the game itself be scary, rather than rely on a burst of adrenaline.
I think you would like The/Coronation Day
I actually have a concept for an EXE game, like, imagine the demon or whatever inside the game is giving you a chance to stand for yourself, so you have to go through all stages, defeat robots, save the day, just like a normal Sonic game right? Except the demon keeps pushing you to a corner more and more until the boss fights and stages are eerie, you have to fight cursed enemies and bosses.
I'm still drawing the concept art for the game and stuff, it's still on paper and i'd love to make this a reality.
as for the atmosphere, just get a normal sonic game like Mania until the eerie parts, the eerie parts would be kinda like Metroid Fusion with a spoonful of Source games' atmosphere
@TrainerblueTube yes.
There's a Sonic.EXE game that addresses about the plain and repetitive tropes of Sonic.EXE about jumpscares and stuff, which imo is one of the best EXE games.
Sounds like you're just looking for mario 64 creepypastas
Could you imagine if this is what we got in 2012 instead of Sonic.Exe? This would’ve been wild!
Sonic.exe was a product of its time I think. The black dripping eyes with red dots and HiPERREaLiStIC bLoOD was a whole internet phase for a solid 2 years. Luna.exe is another example of that phenomena.
Sonic.EXY verges on a more recent aesthetic for horror - the Mandela Catalogue, Walten Files sort of style - while keeping the very same mechanics. Maybe at the time it would not get as much of a reaction, specially considering the demographic was much younger and probably lacked some innate sense of uncanny valley-ness.
@@elfodelputoinfierno Yeah, it probably would've looked goofy at the time. Like one of those rubber hose cartoons.
@@elfodelputoinfierno Nah back then I would’ve had NIGHTMARES. It may have been silly to adults but think of the type of reaction little kids would have 2 this seeing as a lot of us were genuinely afraid of the old sonic.exe
@@paranormeow iron lung will give you nightmares too.
no joke.
@@user-betprolol yeah I played that one, rly unsettling and the ending got me lmao
What I love about EYX is that we don't truly know what this creature is, nor it's motivations. It's out to kill the characters in the game, but most importantly, it's aware of the fourth wall, and it will do anything to get close to it.
Unlike Sonic.exe, EYX certainly uses it's fourth-wall breaking abilities properly. The Crystal Lake scene, while a beautiful level, was definitely handled properly; it gives you a breather, then painfully reminds you that this is still a horror game.
also ngl, I thought the creature itself was supposed to poke fun at the fact that Sonic doesn't appear to have anything separating his pupils in his official design at first.
I could honestly see it as Sonoc being possessed by the demon due to hatred of failing, dying, and restarting. He wants it to stop, they all want it to stop. But it never happens
sonoc
I guess it has a motive, Kill the Sonic characters and taunt the viewers of the 4th wall out of pure sadism. EYX could be an unknown beast who doesn’t really like taking over the world, It just wants to do horrible things for fun.
But I mean do you really care about any of that
*Paragraph* Sonic.exe feels like we are just watching Sonic doing murd3rs for some reason. But Sonic.eyx feels like a foreign entity trying to disguise itself as Sonic and is not just coming for the characters, but is coming for *YOU*. the “saying the computers/players name” on EXE was way underwhelming,it feels like he’s just addressing you but EYX feels like it wants you,and it’s coming for you.Think it also has to do with Sonic.eyx having more exaggerated uncanny valley traits. EXE with the blacked out eyes still feels like Sonic just with a eye problem EYX feels scary cause it have features that are so inhuman and impossible (One large eye,Limbs that drag on the ground, the empty mouth, the large teeth smile, and the large height) it activates our brain to perceive it as a threat
Someone needs to make an EXE type game that actually has some subtly. No monster until you're *deep* into the game. No foreboding warnings, no blood, no gore, no scares at first. Just an odd, disconcerting feeling. You know something is wrong, but you can't figure out what.
Eventually though, the scares begin, but there's no jumpscares, or images flashing on screen, just very very subtle things. A sprite that looks wrong, your character looking directly at you with a different expression than usual. Just subtle things like that at first.
By the end of the game though, you could completely jump into spooky territory, but it would be so much more effective if it were handled with more subtly.
Ok so I'm late but eyx did do this for the most part minus the one Jumpscare and warnings just switch the order and its that. But claiming it has no subtlety because of a couple tropes that come up once is just extreme. If you want something that does this though there is a Mario 64 rom hack that will give you what you want and it's on this channel today.
No I think Ultra has a point. This game is much better made than most Sonic.exe reimagining's but it also has a lot of in your face moments, even if they aren't straight up "jumpscares". I feel like it could've spent more time on buildup and added these things in over time.
That's exactly what i was about to say.
I think this game is good, but I also agree with what your saying. I love it when games build up to the horror. This game kiiinda did that, but it didn't last long, and you already knew what the monster was before the game started due to the starting screen, which ruined the subtlety to me. Not to say it was bad, cause I don't think it was.
But yeah, having the player sink to a comfortable state, just playing a game, having small things pop up out of the corner of your eye, the smallest of out of place textures, models, that would take a second glance to notice, and maybe small skips in the music to start off with would be a perfect slide into the real horror. As the levels contine those smalls errors in continuity getting easier to spot and things go missing, and the monster ever so slightly letting parts of themself being revealed to the player would leave a distressing feeling in the player. Just constantly waiting when it all comes crashing down. That's good horror to me
NES Godzilla is basically what you have described. An unsettling uncomfortable feeling that you cant put your finger on that reveals itself when you go far enough.
Crystal Lake Zone has to be one of the greatest level designs for Sonic. Horror stuff aside, it seems pretty relaxing.
Imagine if it was a hub world in a new 2d sonic game, let me add that the music is so ominous and I know it comes from shining force 2, and the sprite work is phenomenal, I wonder where it comes from.
2:48
It's nice to see a horror game villain do something not so evil.
Just having "fun."
“Get a move on! Show won’t start itself-“
“Aight that’s enough out of ya get out”
"bro I didn't program that zone return to the main zone"
Ray reappeared in Sonic Mania
And it was not Ray's image, that wasn't destroyed, it was Sonic CD's version of Amy Rose
Speaking of which, I'm gonna guess some of the unrevealed characters for this fangame whose portraits are currently question marks are Sally, Cream, Metal Sonic (although he's been seen in the background so far), and maybe a few Classic characters (like Fang and Honey).
@@oranjaglad8648 Mighty would also make sense for one of the characters
@@oranjaglad8648 All of the "unrevealed" characters have been revealed on the gamepage, also fang already got killed, you can see his mangled corpse next to eyx before he lunges at tails in the cave.
Im confused, on the cutscene where sonic is seeing the capsule where the animals are, you can see amy without eyes, isn't she supposed to be dead too?
@@oofmyguy9807 I feel like if that image was Amy and she really is going to be playable, then I guess it'll show how she died/got corrupted.
5:33 In most of the Ray section, the stuff at the top, like the score, time, and rings, change to say things like “sonic stop please”, “somebody help me”, or “player save me” which I think is really clever and well done! Also suggests that Ray is aware of the player.
That's a really cool detail!
@@octoflop2698 I dont understand how he missed such detail.
I think he also accidentally said sonic generations instead of sonic mania there
He also didn't mention (Don't know if they removed it) what comes _after_ Ray gets caught.
@@tomatogenesis it isn’t removed but it is kinda gruesome
My absolute favorite part is where the game attempts to physically look at you if you have a webcam plugged in, makes me curious if there's ever going to be a possible outcome where you can interact with the monster to the point that you can speak to it if the game detects a microphone in use.
It's not actually trying to access your Webcam, anyone who has at least played one fourth wall breaking game knows that it's actually an event that you can code in.
that message is very fake on first glance, no system webcam restriction message looks like that, i guarantee you
@@Velmi_r @Salad you guys are no fun
@@theegg8676 :ez:
@@theegg8676 cope
The last corpse you saw before Tails's true demise was of Fang the Sniper, also known as Nack the Weasel. And also, the lone surviving image was that of Amy Rose.
Yeah video creator isn’t very bright ngl
@@callmezeldaonemoartime And he missed several details in the game, details that helps more about the lore (he legit didn't mentioned anything about the webcam part) and 10:57 he thinks it was EYX but it's actually Ray rising up.
@@CHADCONTEXT He also brings up the fact Ray was in the Sonic Manga… which isn’t true… and the renders he uses for both Archie and the Manga are actually both from Archie.
@@CHADCONTEXT i think it doesn't pop up if you don't have a webcam connected
I feel that this game symbolizes the endless amount of creepypasta games and that, in the end, it's just watching characters suffer for the sake of entertainment. Characters are shown begging for YOU to stop, not the latest demon. Characters are also shown coming back after death, as if it's a different route in other high quality exe games. Lastly, there's Knuckles's questions and the theme of characters staring at you. This game actively asks if creepypastas are really a good thing and if it's morally justified to endlessly watch fictional characters suffer for our amusement. After all, they weren't the ones who asked for this pain, it was you.
Even Sonic.EYX seems to have something against the player with his frequent 4th wall breaks and manipulation. He's giving the player what they want, sure, but it seems that every kill gives him more strength. If you keep playing, he's going to give you a taste of what these characters have been suffering for over a decade.
Deep thoughts
While watching the tails sequence, the wind blew my garage door open, but when I looked over, it closed as if on cue. I know it’s just the wind but it was freaky.
or is it..?
EYX is in your walls
@@StrawberrySofie720 I invited him in, thank goodness he actually showed up.
@@icyatlasartworks ayeee
ask him if he likes hot dogs
@@StrawberrySofie720 he said he doesn't mind them plain, but he prefers them with chili. Guess he really is another Sonic.
Things i've noticed in the footage that I feel that should get more attention:
When Ray is running, the Score, Rings, and time will change to "Sonic, Stop, Please."
When sonic is about to murder Ray, these turn into; "Somebody help me, player save me."
Ray's face appears when EYX starts doing nasty shit, wanting to see you and all that, to the left of the rapidly corrupting sonic
Right before eggman get's scrambled, you can see the entity right behind a rock staring up at his craft. You can also see a eyeless amy sprite as the camera pans to the animal cage
I love that you said eggman gets scrambled
Scrambled eggs
When sonic focuses down the horizon and the game scrolls all the way to the end, just before stoping you can see an eyeless Amy
Eggman gets scrambled
although i think the imagery is very well executed and the designs are quite good and terrifying, i think this game still falls prey to the many tropes of exe games and that there is a lot of work to be done lore and presentation wise
But if it was mario you would have liked it?
@@filipbabovic8474 no why would i
@@filipbabovic8474 dude what
@@filipbabovic8474 what does Mario has to do bruh
this isn't even the final product, hence the "see you soon" screen
it is kinda funny that ray is captured at exactly 5:55 (in game timer). 5 is pronounced as "go" In Japanese, so it could be pronounced as "gogogo" which could be interpreted as "go! go! go!", telling you to run
Good to know!
as someone who grew up with sonic.exe, this one is actually so much more terrifying in my opinion. i love how they changed the design and made the jumpscares more creative instead of the same old original screamer. and the maps and levels are well made and beautiful. only for it to later become corrupt and dark, even unnoticeable because of how much the sonic.eyx corrupted everything. and the death of eggman was so unexpected. it was way different and i just can't explain anymore how not only am i interested but absolutely terrified with this concenpt, they turned something that was a bit unoriginal and bland into something way more creative and intriguing.
I had a dream once where Exe showed up on my tv screen, the first original one. Already fed up with Sonic.exe, I ripped the cartilage out of my system and, perhaps killed him.
Now, if it have been this Thing, I don't think I'd doing the same thing. Eyx is scarier than Exe in my opinion.
I’ve said this before about EYX, eggmans death is often the drawn out executed one and is done off screen in most exe games. However in this game it’s done so suddenly and fast that it makes it stand out
Am I safe to assume this game is a nightmare for ommetaphobes/scopophobes? Heavy eye motif and all that staring...
Guess it might be called Sonic.EYX for a reason...
yes I fear Mike Wazowski.
I read it as "onomatopoeia-phobe"
Like you can read/watch/play the sickest most depraved horror crap no problem but run at the sight of a sound effect bubbles in a legit children's comic book
@@PabbyPabbles I used to be afraid of the Barney intro, so you're not too far off
@@CHADCONTEXT 💀
@@CHADCONTEXT bro 🏴☠️🏴☠️
Only things I noticed:
* It's Sonic Mania, not Sonic Generations
* That portrait that's uncorrupted is Amy Rose, not Ray.
10:59 Small theory, that isn't EYX. I think it's Ray trying to get any form of help but EYX pulls him away, there's little pixels above the character's head
Now that I look back at that, the pixels seem more yellow than a grayish blue color, so more evidence for that
Wouldn’t really call that a theory, and more of a statement, because that’s exactly what happened. And for something extra that was shown in later updates, is that Ray is dead. So that’s actually Ray’s dead soul trying to get help, but the hand obviously tells you that Ray couldn’t escape from him, like future Tails couldn’t.
It's obviously Ray trying to escape EYX but without eyes I wonder how he managed to pull himself up lol
9:30
I love how you can see the creature pop up from the rock behind eggman, so it's safe to assume sonic didn't summon the creature.
Why would sonic summon him
@@Xester_200 Perhaps he was enraged by Eggman's foiling him? Could have been unintentional if it were a summoning, but it dosn't look like it was.
Another thing not mentioned is how the name of the game tends to change, like right before the "webcam access denied" message pops up it changes to "I want to see you" and then "I NEED to see you" repeated over and over.
I noticed that too
this one is a special one for sure. the imagery and sound design are amazing, especially for a .exe game. the bit that scared me the most when watching this was when eggman gets his head torn off, it gave me the most uneasy feeling. people might think “get over yourself it’s just some pixels” but honestly it isn’t lmao, but this is probably the best thing to come out of the release of sonic.exe in my opinion, can i get an amen?
amen
no
@@ivandenisovich6369 fair enough
@@ames6696 yes
Amen, brotha.
after seeing the eggman scene I know this is a good game, and since the scene looks a lot like bunnyfarm from twf I thought "what if modern exe games and analog horror inspired each other?" I think that would make both of them less bland and more diverse and fresh
Yeah
@@amandapanda5087 yeah!
i wish i could have played this game blind a couple of months ago. cant wait for part 2.
i remember when sonic.exe was just a trollpasta, its nice to see it evolve into something much more fascinating !
no, the original was genuine. It was just so bad that it ended up being put on the trollpasta wiki.
@@greydevil1772 And then the original creator is protective of it and acts like its a master piece
@@alchemistofsteel8099 A comedy masterpiece maybe.
9:20 if you guys have sharp eyes you will see Amy Rose standing on the grass.
She is touching grass.
@@-lightthelight-4047 Exactly! shes been sitting on that gaming chair for 5 years
@@delght2364 She better touch grass fam.
I noticed that and I thought I was trippin
Sonic EYX has potential to being one of the best fan-made games.
5:44 ah yes, "sonic generations"
here is something that makes the game a bit scarier: the events has random timing in the game. example: sometimes the "entity" will catch ray DIRECTLY a few seconds after the level starts. and if that happens, before the game closes itself, a cutscene of ray falling down and the entity ripping off ray's face. the timing thing helps it so the game feels more realistic, more like there is an actual virus in it
bruh i never saw that, can you link a video of that?
I haven't personally seen a lot of other people mention it, but when you get past the hanging bars section in Crystal Lake Zone, there is a bridge(?) with an opening in the middle
If you go down in between the opening, you'll fall in the water. Go all the way to the left and you'll find a spooky easter egg!
It made my stomach drop when I found it haha
so how about you say what it is and at the same time save me from busting my ass trying to find footage of it
@@trolleris4312 Don't get your jimmies in a twist! I just didn't want to spoil it :)
A lot of people hate jumpscares, but I'm not against them per se. I just think you have to EARN it, have the proper set up and classy execution. I like the Silent Hill 1 otherworld locker room jumpscare because it has multiple layers of setup and clever execution.
Agreed.
10:46 At this part, Tails is actually limping and missing a tail and maybe an arm as well, he may also be cautious still but the main reason he's slow is his leg.
9:36 this dude here just performed a fatality move
i've been a fan of sonic.exe for quite some time now, and seeing this type of content related to these games and community is awesome, keep making them bro (if you want to), cuz fans of this creepy blue dude like me are very happy about it
An amalgamation of every single creation of a terrifying sonic game and sonic has to go through it all. He’s tired of it.
This game would be full of creepypasta stories if it came out in 2011
I love when games like DDLC and Sonic.EYX mess with your computer or internet, while it does freak me out a bit too much to play, it's interesting to deconstruct and is a great way to sell the horror of "this thing is sentient"
Sonic has the most potential for raising awareness against human encroachment of all the franchises.
So if I'm getting the story straight EYX is doing all of this to entertain you since you wanted to be scared right? You willingly played the game which is why knuckles chastises you, you're responsible for everything bad happening
This whole game’s vibe gives me an odd “I see you” feeling.
If a sequel would release, I would be really glad!
Another thing you missed is if you try to shove off EYX's "MEET ME AT THE BEGINNING" and instead go back to the end, you'll have a countdown that's around a minute long before what I can only describe as EYX if he was Tails grabs you.
6:20
You had the chance to say “but he’s just too fast”
A fun fact is where it says: score,time,and rings, during ray’s scene, those words change to messages like: sonic stop please and: somebody help me. Then the final one is: player save me as ray either stares at eyx or at the player while he gets taken by eyx.
I think this is a cool Easter egg.

11:14 "after walking what seemed like forever he discovered what was inevitably waiting for him"
Right after: perfect ad placement lol
I think a good concept for a creepy pasta game is where the monster doesn’t upfront show you he’s a creature of the unknown and has stupid amounts of power. I want to see one where he tries to hide he’s a monster, sounds cool.
Watching this video at 1:30 in the morning with the only other light source in my room being a candle makes me feel like I've discovered the original Sonic.exe for the first time again.
9:15 in this cut scene were sonic.EYX kills Eggman make sure to pause at the part where it shows two rocks and a cliff. When you pause at the right time you’ll see Amy standing on the cliff looking at sonic.
He is coming to give you the pain you deserve.
Absolutley terrifying.
Also you build tension with your narrative and I love it.
2:09 *The assets at the bottom are actually in the foreground.*
9:20 *If you pay close attention, you can notice the version of Amy that appears at the end of the game.*
*Fun fact: When you get a game over in Tails’s section (Green Hill Zone), Sonic.EYX jumpscares you and closes the game.*
Next uptade: Sonic comes to your door with milk that is not milk.
“Sonic, why is your right hand so buff?”
@@requiemthethethe he likes to do it, mid air just like spider-man
@@PhanthomKnight9 holy shit
Maybe sonic learnt it from Spider-Man?
@@glitchieslk4224 i think so
5:52 Yep. Sonic Generations. That's Sonic Generations all right.
Also, during the Ray trying to escape scene, the "Score, Time, Rings" turns into ray pleading for help.
6:46 anyone else notice the creepy sonic head?
2:50 Those two characters are The Feeler (the one who pushed Tails) and The Watcher (the one who pushed Feeler away). Both are different interpretations of Sonic.EXE, just like EYX.
5:57 You forgot to mention Ray trying to communicate with the player, as shown at the top left. (Sonic Please Stop Somebody Help Me)
7:34 That part is not true. Sonic.EYX's creator, Kaua16, explained EYX isn't an entity that "possessed Sonic".
10:57 Even if it's dark, one can easily tell this isn't EYX but Ray the Squirrel without any skin on his face, completely eyeless. The shape of Ray's head is quite noticeable. A hand grabs Ray's head and pulls him down, which is EYX dragging Ray.
12:32 "Ray's image is the only one not destroyed" but that's Amy Rose's image. Ray's image is 6th image/top right.
Fun facts: When LuigiKid played the game, a unique jumpscare appeared right when he started the game, catching off-guard. This jumpscare only appeared in his first Sonic.EYX video and no other TH-camrs got this jumpscare. The game gets a secret when April 1st comes...
9:20??
Man these dudes put real effort into this game, great work!
Love to see more and more people talk about this game
i find it amazing that this is such a clever concept. that sonic.exe sparked this whole thing for us.
something that stood out to me was all the distorted art and faces. it reminded me heavily of the walten files (which is a good thing!!) when a character dies.
I still think using jumpscares is cheap for horror, I feel like if a sonic.exe game would be at its scariest if there were like 1 jumpscare or none at all, and instead fully embraced psychological horror. ‘The (coronation day) SMW rom hack for me at least does this job right and I think future sonic.exe fangames need to take notes from it.
Jumpscares aren’t cheap dude jumpscares are good if it’s executed properly.
@@Blue-Apple-fc9eo Facts.
@@UniGamingSisters All I am trying to say is just make good horror games.
People who think all jumpscares are bad are pretentious a-holes and Redditors who shouldn't be allowed to make media
I love your use of the Yume 2kki soundtrack in your videos
i love you videos. Keep up the good work!
I've got to say this is the first time I actually genuinely love the look of the "sonic.exe" in this game. Solely since it gets rid of the overdone creepy smile and bleeding eyes and instead looking like a genuine freaky monster of sorts.
Actually Gear, Ray's portrait in 12:35 is destroyed. It's actually Amy over there on the very bottom. It's actually Modern Amy as opposed Rosy the Rascal from Sonic CD, who died based on this cutscene in 9:20. You gotta go frame by frame, but when you see it, it's hard to miss.
2:50
everybody: bro this guy pushed me and laughing at me
people that have better eyes: tf you mean the sonic.exe got pushed by another sonic.exe
that's pretty creative, I've never seen a window shake like that before, just relocating its position fast enough to appear like it's shaking, pretty unique
Undertale did that for one of it's endings if you played it in windowed mode
The concept of a possessed video game character staring at you is very unsettling. The first sonic exe fan made game that I know of that shows us this is lord X. There are a few times where he breaks the fourth wall and looks and you. But making a entire game based on that idea is genius. Sonic even tried to turn your camera on.
One of my favorite Exe games was Spirits of Hell, it just puts alot of suspense and choices to decide your fate. S.O.H also has Fourth wall breaking and the sad scenes you have to go through to get the good ending and not have everyone die.
Isn't it that one game that gets a new chapter ever three years
9:48
That face hidden in one of the glitch blocks is iconic
God damn, this is amazing sprite work and style, evennn for a exe game.
Also, there stands to be a lot of praise: the content in the video FOOLED THE TH-cam ALGO into thinking it was Yume-fucking-2kki.
4:53 IS THAT A NEEDLEMOUSE REFERENCE?!?!?!?!??!?! /j/j
I like that you use Yume 2ikki ost in the backround of your video
there's a little part I love about the cutscene where as we pan to the container we can see a mutilated version of amy looking at sonic, then as metal sonic is ramming he stops right before where amy was and then proceeds to get out of there as soon as possible
You just not gonna mention Ray's very horrific death scene
This was the version before Ray's death scene was added iirc
Also one thing you missed, is at the part were the screen shakes and the window text says "I want to see you", if you don't have a camera or it's already in use, it will say something like "unable to access camera."
did anyone notice that tails was losing one tail in this sense 10:30
God this is such a change of quality from all of the EXE games I’m used to. Glad to see there’s still original stuff being made!
Also would love to see you talk about Yume Nikki or 2kki sometime in the future. I happened to notice you use a lot of 2kki’s music in this video lol
12:40 the uncorrupted image is, I think, Amy? Dunno.
EXE's design in EYX is so creepy cool.
Long limbs, singular large eye, eldritch symbol, THAT is what EXE would be described as looking like if the original creepypasta was actually good.
I wonder what the symbol means.
I love how some game character hates player and assuming the player loves making them suffer while the player just wanna enjoy the gameplay and suddenly the mf show up and ruin everything, even the player can't do anything about it
Yume thank you for listing the songs! They are fantastic!
I actually bumped into Sonic EYX as a plush on Amazon, I shrugged him off as a popular oc but after seeing this I’m clearly wrong. Great video btw
In the segment were EYX is next to a body is actually ray’s body not tails’
Also the “see you soon” screen has
Sonic,tails,eggman,knuckles & 2 others distorted,
the one that isn’t distorted isn’t ray, the icon looks very similar to Amy so the 2 above Amy must be ray and probably mighty because those 2 are always seen together
Can I just say Crystal Lake Zone is legitimately great? It has a great art style full of neat little details and the level design is actually good, too bad the creator is more focused on an EXE game cus I’d play a full game like that
when sonic jumps down for the jumpscare does he "break the window"? as in if you have the game window on the top of your computer will he jump down to the taskbar or will he stop there? i know Oneshot does this trick in one of its endings
I love how the creature looks like something straight out of Eldritch Horror, absolutely terrifying and I love it❤
Fun fact: The ones you called just "sonic.exe" that push you back if you go right when encountering sonic are actually two exe's which are named Exetior and Exeller
Oh god there’s two of them
If you pause at the right time where sonic sees the capsule you can see a corrupted amy
"As tails goes back, things get more unsettling. *cuts to black*"
*"ALL NEW SPICY CHAO-FAN-"*
4:40 I have unintentionally red "You make me suck" xq
The red eye background images remind me of the Ahenobarbus Henocied image from the creepypasta several years ago.
This scared me so bad in the middle of the day, safe in my bed. I would like to ask the creators of this game how they made such a masterpiece out of a shitty creepypasta. I love it.
Im excited for the next chapter of this game. It's so interesting and cool.
I love the fourth wall break which actually interferes with your computer and the files on it.
DDLC done an amazing job of this for example, by being so sensitive to the changes within the games files, you can change the game in so many ways
Another great thing about ddlc is the immersion, like how it puts you in the horror.
12:34
Isn't that Amy, and not Ray, or am I just seeing things?
It's Amy
4:25 Oh shit, he got the high ground
Call me insane, but I feel like crystal lake zone would be a hard but fun boss,
Think about it:
Sonic would have to dodge Metal Sonics charges while Eggman fires the lasers found in Stardust Speedway with gaps per laser beam
The Capsule would be In the same vicinity, but shut off by a laser field, obstructing sonic from opening it.
His rings would be set to 0, as he was already launched into the battle area by metal, making the boss that much harder.
I stared at this comment for 2 hours.
"Sonic generations" *
shows sonic mania plus*
