I think the scariest part is at 4:01 because if you listen closely, you can hear tails screaming as he begins to drown, The fact that there's no big ass scream when he dies and instead silently go's out with no one being able to hear him just makes me think.
On one hand, this game would probably be *really* hard to play, if we could play it. But on the other hand, I think this is the peakest of uncanny without leaning into full on blood and gore like other Sonic.exe versions.
@@StillStupidStillDumb2834 That game was unnerving, but nowhere near as much on a surface level as Rewrite does. And here, there was clear action, even when the music disappeared. And I don't know, I'm not a fan of when horror relies so much on patience that literally nothing happens for minutes on end... Not as much uncanny, but still creepy, albeit frustrating and boring.
@@RandomThumbVids Really, the most blood and violence there is is when Rewrite Tails is drowning, and his body turns the water blood red. No actual blood or gore. If you came into this completely blind, without any knowledge Sonic.exe or Rewrite, you would probably be very confused at least.
My fav part abt this is how Sonic doesn't use any god-like powers to catch Tails. He just pulls of a really advanced trick and catches him fair and square. I can only assume it's because at this point he doesn't have any actual power to use. It's terrifying how powerful Rewrite is at his weakest.
THATS what the drowning theme video was meant to be in this video, your the player, obviously playing some hide and seek with tails in drowning theme, you ARE tails, or whoever is haunting him
I was thinking the same thing too lol, very creative take of how they managed to capture tails feelings in that video and how Rewrite takes the situation here.
Yeah, that part took me out of it for a second because of how robotic it felt, but the rest of the video is so well done that I'm willing to give it a pass.
@@alu2901 100% it is intentional. I believe at that point in the video, the game completely takes control away from the player and it's automated by whoever or whatever is controlling/possessing/being Sonic.
The crazy thing is, if we were in a vacuum where Rewrite and everything we know about Rewrite was unknown to us, and you wouldve told me that this was some kind of obscure scrapped Sonic game that didnt make it through production solely because Sonic's model and actions were deemed too creepy for kids, I would've genuinely believed you. [Up until the ending at least]
There's something extremely unsettling about this game using the screaming Sega logo versus the usual choir that had been used on most Genesis Sonic games
I've seen this documented somewhere. Maybe in a snippet of a European Sega magazine from long ago? I dunno, but I vividly remember the team saying something about this particular game being "the most ambitious game SEGA has ever done, with new technologies and stories that'll make you feel like you're in the world of the game" or something. Either way, thank you for documenting this obscure piece of Sonic history! I hope more info surfaces about this game soon.
@bobcatsjoe8891 the person who said this is like some obscure sonic game, didn't actually mean they think that. I think They were referring to the lore behind sonic rewrite, sonic rewrite basically is kinda like a continuation of the sonic creepypasta sonic.exe I'm terrible at explaining things so like I'll leave it at that, but there's like a whole fan wiki page just for sonic rewrite if you want to check it out and learn more.
I can’t tell if this is an elaborate teaser that we’re getting a legitimate REWRITE video game, more FNF stuff, or just an extremely well done video in the series. Either way, I’m hyped more than I’ve ever been 🤯
Something curious to remember is that when Sonic kills Tails they give him a red ring and in the FNF mod he has three. So it means that he will also kill knuckles and Eggman
I love Rewrite looking after Tails in that single frame then taking control to make sure he gets him even if the player believes its them in moving Sonic... Ah so freaky gotta love this take on horror.
Something surprising is when Tails runs, Rewrite immediately knows where to run and pulls off some advanced tricks that the person playing wouldn’t know. I believe in that moment Rewrite fully takes control just to make sure Tails doesn’t escape
Another thing if you pay attention Tails goes out of bounds the player can’t reach him as “Sonic”, and as soon as rewrite realises this, rewrite teleports him and as soon as he does that, Tails just bolts as if he knows that would happen

This perfectly captures that unintentionally creepy vibe carried by so many amateur PC games back in the day. Like it was made by someone earnestly trying to make a Sonic game for kids, but they just didn't really know how to make it not creepy.
0:56 This is an absolutely seamless combination of elements of Green Hill and Mystic Cave. Very nicely composed, fren. The gameplay is like some unholy combination of Sonic's Schoolhouse, Sonic 1/2/3, and Sonic R. Also, thanks for not resorting to outright screamers, at least not in any of the videos of yours I've seen.
it looks like "sonic" takes control of the gameplay at certain points, as in he does things that would be difficult or impossible to know how to do on a first playthrough, like the platforming at 2:18 or how he catches tails without actually seeing where he is or knowing that he would cross the bridge at 3:51. like he knows JUST where to spindash to land next to where tails is going to be it's sus EDIT: also probably since we see the file being opened it's possible that the person playing the game in universe just knows these things because they made the game (assuming they made the game)
No rewrites world is a part of him just like the wiki says and that him knowing where Tails is, is completely correct And no the player did not make the game, the game is the og sonic.exe cd disc it’s just been replayed so many times rewrite had to change it so many times based on the players likes
What I can gather from this take is, in universe, a seemingly unfinished game, due to the jittery platforms, unfinished voicelines, lacking music in the Hide n’ Seek, as well as Miles’ location on the map. Miles’ demise is made to seem like an accident, a glitch, yet the game still progresses afterwards, Sonic still seen smiling. But we know it is no accident, we know what they are capable of… or.. do we?
Oh dang. Okay, so the drowning video is Tails’ perspective, from what I’ve gathered... the video titled Sonic gameplay is quite LITERALLY what Sonic (or Rewrite I guess) is seeing. That’s a cool take. Sonic still does the whole evil trope killing thing, but it’s the player who does this, only being encouraged by Sonic. (Or, at least that’s what it seems like, since he initiated the hide and seek thing.) On further note, the whole ring thing he gets from killing seems to appear here. The player is essentially helping him gain power. The question is just whether or not the player is aware of it. Hm. I love this already.
If this was a true game, this feels like one of the steps towards a “secret” ending. Kind of like the red rings in the og Sonic.exe. Sonic has to “catch” his friends in particular spots that will likely cause their demise, and give a red ring after. Otherwise, the victory would play out like normal
No the wiki explains that the red rings in this incarnation of sonic.exe are souls we even see this in the fnf mod that when bf loses he gets turned into a red ring And the red rings give “Sonic” more power allowing to do supernatural abilities along with changing his appearance and making him get smarter
Interesting things to note in hide n seek: Tails is seen on a mountainside, As if he's trying to escape, knowing what will happen to him if he doesn't. Seems like he's been through this before. Rewrite does a spindash, a move that is never used by the player before this moment. This seems to hint at rewrite taking control over his actions and uses that to Kill tails. The wind in the background fades when Tails submerges into the water. And its only heard in the water, That's the sound of his screams while in Pain from it before he takes his final breath.
Why didn't he fly? He clearly could just fly up the mountain, And was there acid in the water? Because how did tails die from it while being under it for 1 second?
@@trudyjones1287 Most likely to Sonic jumping on Tails at 3:56, could’ve injured Tails but I guess he’s called Rewrite for a reason. Tails is also very young, being forced to handle a strike that was meant to finish him off would also give reasons as to why Tails couldn’t simply jump out.
i want this to be an actual game so dang bad either this a really well made animation, if in that case, my respects. or its a small teaser for an actual Rewrite game
@@Josuh I mean, unlike SMB3 where there is evidence everything is a play (the bolted platforms, the ground looking like wood, the curtains in the opening, the ending looking like you ran off stage with no lights, the actual direct confirmation that it is a play) there is no information pointing towards this being a play.
path-chooser is used here in such a odd way, it makes me think we have a choice in helping "sonic" get to his friends(?) also, the game continuing normally after tails drowns is really interesting and bizarre
something that throws me off about the design is while some parts are very angular, sharp, and lanky while stuff like his mouth, head, and stomach are still round and cartoony. like with the sharp spikes i wouldnt expect sonic to have an ear to ear smile and big round eyes that always look happy. like i would expect some attitude from this rodent
OH, MY, “s o n i c”. This is incredible! The story finally begins! Music is great as always, and I love the more smooth and high res still image of sonic at 1:48 It’s a 3D blast from the past! And of course, I love all the “minor errors” made to emulate sonic that makes it feel more original. Like the title screen emblem. And telling a far fetched story/prologue set up in the beginning. Although, despite being named rewrite. Despite all the change, some of the formula remains the same. Some are unavoidable. killing “his friends” & players, being sonic, and being a haunting video game character. And those are fine. But in this instance, once again we play hide and seek with tails, with the twist being it’s on a foggy green hill with no dead animals. (T’was a nice touch btw) that we help sonic chase him into drowning in a river. We assist in the inevitable chase this time. And of course, as all fans expect. Up next is a fight with knuckles, and than Dr.Robotnik. The usual. But… what if it doesn’t have to be that way?
This might honestly shape up to be one of the best sonic horror fan games out there, I also find it interesting that you’re playing as the spooky rather than being the one spooked.
I'll be honest, when Sonic.exe came out I felt like it was so terrible that I've finally outgrown creepypasta (I was like 18 at the time) but this is amazing and actually is making me reconsider. Very well done. Reminds me of why I fell in love with the genre in the first place.
@@alu2901 Yeah. My favorites back then was stuff like Haunted Majora's Mask or Lost Silver. Sonic.exe was just so cliche and silly to me, I can't believe it's still alive lol. I'm happy kiddos today are making better creepy Sonic stuff than that. Though a lot of it is still kinda cringe to me, that might be less about the quality/creativity and more that I'm a millennial and probably have outgrown it a bit. Maybe. Who knows. Either way this interpretation is actually creative and genuinely unsettling. I like it.
This is oddly nostalgic because this environment reminds me of those Sonic minecraft maps i used to watch when i was little. Also this feels like Sonic X-Treme if it ever came out and the devs redid it
When I watched this video for the first time I had no idea this comes from a creepypasta or what rewrite is, creepypastas are just not my cup of tea. But man, this video is my jam, I already watched it about 10 times, it's just creepy in all the right ways without being overly edgy or cringy, and without gratuitous screamers that are not scary in the least. I love how the logo of the game has just one wing instead of the usual two and the way it just says "sonic" with a font that looks like a bootleg. I love the pre-rendered Photo of a cg sonic with a text crawl, it looks like a genesis game but there's something weird about it. I love how the song sounds like something that would've been from a genesis game but it's not completely distorted or corrupted, it's just unusual. I love how it's supposed to be a genesis game but it's 3D, it adds to its weirdness. I love even the little details like the color bleed on Sonic's shoes and on the environment. I just love this video, 10/10.
this is absolutely everything to me the music, the fucking gameplay that looks TEDIOUS to deal with, , it's PERFECT 😭😭✨ also miles having their hiding spot as the fucking wall will never not be funny to HELRP
This was... Strange. I can't call it scary because other than the drowning theme there's nothing that seems obviously scary like in most .exe/horrorbrew stuff. Unnerving is the best way I'd describe both this and most of the videos/songs associated with Rewrite. Subtlety is the name of his(their?) game. He(they?) presents a smiley front, but with more clearly going on behind the scenes. As much as I'm fond of exes like OMT/one last round that revel in cutting to the chase and being scary from the get go, I also know that horror isn't only about throwing tons of blood and gore on the screen just to scare people(the original sonic.exe taught us that). Sometimes, atmosphere and build up is just as important! You've made something really special Springless. Excited to see what else you do with rewrite!
@@slidersides that's another thing I think is really neat about this! Even if many of the standard exe game tropes were played straight here(which they aren't), the unique style of gameplay/presentation really sets rewrite apart from the crowd!
Ayyyyyye a OMT fan too, but yeah i agree too, i love OMT and Lord X and so with using body manipulation and twisting the world to their image and so, but i also love rewrite, since he’s using a different method of luring victims, as it’s stated most exe’s have their ways of luring victims
3:35 that Drowning theme vid makes so much more sense now We the player are seeing this from Rewrites pov However... That Drowning theme vid was tails' pov...
@@FiFiTheFeline well maybe you should get your finger out and edit the timestamp. Okay, buddy? Cos people are gonna click on the timestamp and be confused.
What happened in the hide and seek game: Tails is on a mountain and then the drowning theme plays as Tails runs away. You chase him down and then you find a spring to get to high ground. You spindash alil and then you push Tails into the river. He starts drowning and the water turns... Red? Maybe it's Tails blood. But anyway, A red ring comes out of the water and you collect it to pick it up. Then, the victory screen is displayed. I have a theory where the red rings contains the SOULS of Rewrite's victims which gives power to him. Oh yea, in the FNF mod about rewrite, in the song Trinity, Rewrite has only THREE of the rings.
Well noticed, but probably he just thought it wouldn't be as cool to have 2 wings as it is having only one... But following this line, who knows? This could mean something...
@@springlessmusic i also hope luigikid gets to see it, he even played the mod edit: as i was scrolling through the comment section i saw his comment, HE SAW IT

I love everything about this video. The low poly Saturn-esque sprites, the music, the screaming sega intro, the walking and idle animations. This looks like a shelved sega game. Awesome work :)
this seriously looks like some prototype sonic game from the 90s in an alternate dimension. the mid 90's specifically. I love how Sonic keeps his goofy smile even when he's jumping Edit: Holy crap, I just went down the rabbit hole of a life time learning who "rewrite" is and also hearing some amazing tunes AND getting back into FNF

True, but when he kills more characters, the more sinister he will get.
pretty sure his name is exactly what he can do,REWRITE things to his liking.hes just wanted to kill tails for shits and gigles

That’s a cool take. Sonic still does the whole evil trope killing thing, but it’s the player who does this, only being encouraged by Sonic. (Or, at least that’s what it seems like, since he initiated the hide and seek thing.)
On further note, the whole ring thing he gets from killing seems to appear here. The player is essentially helping him gain power. The question is just whether or not the player is aware of it. Hm.
I love this already.
After he kills egg man and knuckles he might go after amy Rose since he need one red ring on his leg
@@SnowyDreeumrrrewrite be like with amy:nah I ain't no simp (brutally kills)
And later on sonic traps player as a reward being a controler for infnite fun
@@omoribf Why would he simp for a 12 year old tho?
@@somisimons it's a joke tho
If this was a true game, this feels like one of the steps towards a “secret” ending.
Kind of like the red rings in the og Sonic.exe.
Sonic has to “catch” his friends in particular spots that will likely cause their demise, and give a red ring after. Otherwise, the victory would play out like normal
No the wiki explains that the red rings in this incarnation of sonic.exe are souls we even see this in the fnf mod that when bf loses he gets turned into a red ring
And the red rings give “Sonic” more power allowing to do supernatural abilities along with changing his appearance and making him get smarter
@@tailzgimer1726Wow, I didn't know it gets gradually powerful.
Interesting things to note in hide n seek:
Tails is seen on a mountainside, As if he's trying to escape, knowing what will happen to him if he doesn't. Seems like he's been through this before.
Rewrite does a spindash, a move that is never used by the player before this moment. This seems to hint at rewrite taking control over his actions and uses that to Kill tails.
The wind in the background fades when Tails submerges into the water. And its only heard in the water, That's the sound of his screams while in Pain from it before he takes his final breath.
Why didn't he fly? He clearly could just fly up the mountain, And was there acid in the water? Because how did tails die from it while being under it for 1 second?
@@trudyjones1287
He only has one tail.
@@user-qj4px6ob4y Oh, so how did he die so fast while being under water?
@@trudyjones1287
Most likely to Sonic jumping on Tails at 3:56, could’ve injured Tails but I guess he’s called Rewrite for a reason.
Tails is also very young, being forced to handle a strike that was meant to finish him off would also give reasons as to why Tails couldn’t simply jump out.
@@user-qj4px6ob4y And now I know why the water turned red too, He bled out quickly causing a fast death. Rewrite is smarter than exe.
Wait notice how after he killed tails he got a red ring. I bet that after the knuckles and eggman levels he will get more of his signature red rings
His name is Miles not Tails
@@BasilLeafzhe still goes by tails either way
@@BasilLeafzhis name is Miles ‘Tails’ Prower, Tails is basically his nickname
@@MoominDooHis full name is Miles Prower, 'tails' is his nickname.
@@MoominDoo let me re-write that one, Miles Prower is his *real* name, tails is his nickname
i want this to be an actual game so dang bad
either this a really well made animation, if in that case, my respects.
or its a small teaser for an actual Rewrite game
it's a really well made animation
@unnam3d__ really???
God, I can't believe it's an animation
my respects to springless
@@SAckTheGoof yeah, its all cinema4d
I love this funky little creature pretending to be Sonic! His little ear twitch warms my heart! ❤️
If it wasn't for the whole killing Sonic's friends thing Rewrite would just be a silly little guy.
Let's go the Mario Bros 3 route and pretend everything is a stage play 😈
@@Josuh I mean, unlike SMB3 where there is evidence everything is a play (the bolted platforms, the ground looking like wood, the curtains in the opening, the ending looking like you ran off stage with no lights, the actual direct confirmation that it is a play) there is no information pointing towards this being a play.
A horror game where you *are* sonic is actually a really interesting concept, I hope this is a teaser
This looks so interesting! I don't think we had many good exe games from "Sonic's" pov before. Excited to see where this goes!
path-chooser is used here in such a odd way, it makes me think we have a choice in helping "sonic" get to his friends(?)
also, the game continuing normally after tails drowns is really interesting and bizarre
something that throws me off about the design is while some parts are very angular, sharp, and lanky while stuff like his mouth, head, and stomach are still round and cartoony. like with the sharp spikes i wouldnt expect sonic to have an ear to ear smile and big round eyes that always look happy. like i would expect some attitude from this rodent
He's also VERY tall. Like, have you seen his design compared to Tails?
I like how this is basically a game version of what Tails saw in that Chasing Music short where he is being chased
This is so so so good im analyzing every frame like a lunatic. thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this, it's really amazing
thank you soooo much man!!! ur stuff is so fire and i'm glad u like thiss ^^
OH, MY, “s o n i c”.
This is incredible! The story finally begins! Music is great as always, and I love the more smooth and high res still image of sonic at 1:48
It’s a 3D blast from the past!
And of course, I love all the “minor errors” made to emulate sonic that makes it feel more original. Like the title screen emblem.
And telling a far fetched story/prologue set up in the beginning.
Although, despite being named rewrite. Despite all the change, some of the formula remains the same.
Some are unavoidable. killing “his friends” & players, being sonic, and being a haunting video game character. And those are fine.
But in this instance, once again we play hide and seek with tails, with the twist being it’s on a foggy green hill with no dead animals.
(T’was a nice touch btw) that we help sonic chase him into drowning in a river. We assist in the inevitable chase this time.
And of course, as all fans expect. Up next is a fight with knuckles, and than Dr.Robotnik. The usual.
But… what if it doesn’t have to be that way?
Sonic walking up to tails and saying "Hi, I'm Sonic" tells me that something is *seriously wrong here*
No shit Sherlock💀
0:18 this music is a banger
This might honestly shape up to be one of the best sonic horror fan games out there, I also find it interesting that you’re playing as the spooky rather than being the one spooked.
This isn't a game as far as I know. It's a really impressive animation.
@@alu2901it’s probably a game made with the sole purpose of making these videos and probably won’t be released as a public game
@@dongtrope it is an animation actually.
This is the single best Sonic.exe I've ever seen.
I'll be honest, when Sonic.exe came out I felt like it was so terrible that I've finally outgrown creepypasta (I was like 18 at the time) but this is amazing and actually is making me reconsider.
Very well done.
Reminds me of why I fell in love with the genre in the first place.
Yeah, to be fair, the original Sonic.exe is bad. For some reason it still lives to this day, but as a much better product than the original.
@@alu2901 Yeah. My favorites back then was stuff like Haunted Majora's Mask or Lost Silver.
Sonic.exe was just so cliche and silly to me, I can't believe it's still alive lol.
I'm happy kiddos today are making better creepy Sonic stuff than that. Though a lot of it is still kinda cringe to me, that might be less about the quality/creativity and more that I'm a millennial and probably have outgrown it a bit. Maybe. Who knows.
Either way this interpretation is actually creative and genuinely unsettling. I like it.
See many polygons in Sonic's head make me get out of the experiencia but the general environment is pretty cool.
This is oddly nostalgic because this environment reminds me of those Sonic minecraft maps i used to watch when i was little. Also this feels like Sonic X-Treme if it ever came out and the devs redid it
You mean if the devs Have *rewrite*it 😏
I love how it's still a victory.
Funny thing is, this would be really ground breaking if it came out in the 90’s
When I watched this video for the first time I had no idea this comes from a creepypasta or what rewrite is, creepypastas are just not my cup of tea. But man, this video is my jam, I already watched it about 10 times, it's just creepy in all the right ways without being overly edgy or cringy, and without gratuitous screamers that are not scary in the least.
I love how the logo of the game has just one wing instead of the usual two and the way it just says "sonic" with a font that looks like a bootleg. I love the pre-rendered Photo of a cg sonic with a text crawl, it looks like a genesis game but there's something weird about it. I love how the song sounds like something that would've been from a genesis game but it's not completely distorted or corrupted, it's just unusual. I love how it's supposed to be a genesis game but it's 3D, it adds to its weirdness. I love even the little details like the color bleed on Sonic's shoes and on the environment. I just love this video, 10/10.
this is absolutely everything to me
the music, the fucking gameplay that looks TEDIOUS to deal with, , it's PERFECT 😭😭✨
also miles having their hiding spot as the fucking wall will never not be funny to HELRP
This was... Strange.
I can't call it scary because other than the drowning theme there's nothing that seems obviously scary like in most .exe/horrorbrew stuff.
Unnerving is the best way I'd describe both this and most of the videos/songs associated with Rewrite. Subtlety is the name of his(their?) game. He(they?) presents a smiley front, but with more clearly going on behind the scenes.
As much as I'm fond of exes like OMT/one last round that revel in cutting to the chase and being scary from the get go, I also know that horror isn't only about throwing tons of blood and gore on the screen just to scare people(the original sonic.exe taught us that). Sometimes, atmosphere and build up is just as important!
You've made something really special Springless. Excited to see what else you do with rewrite!
Yeah, this one is different and it’s not basically the average exe scroller type game
@@slidersides that's another thing I think is really neat about this! Even if many of the standard exe game tropes were played straight here(which they aren't), the unique style of gameplay/presentation really sets rewrite apart from the crowd!
I mean there are other obviously scary things besides the drowning theme, like Tails drowning and the lake turning red, but yeah, I agree with this.
Unsettling is the best way I can describe it.
Ayyyyyye a OMT fan too, but yeah i agree too, i love OMT and Lord X and so with using body manipulation and twisting the world to their image and so, but i also love rewrite, since he’s using a different method of luring victims, as it’s stated most exe’s have their ways of luring victims
Canon ending: its a game
Edit: 3:51 sonic spindash is canon OMG
3:59 Put The Headphones And listen to the scary drowning😮😨😰😱
this is really unique compared to any other exe game i’ve seen
I love how Tails went out of bounds but then as soon as rewrite teleported him back he instantly bolted as if he knew that was going to happen
01:42 JUMPSCARE
😨
3:35 that Drowning theme vid makes so much more sense now
We the player are seeing this from Rewrites pov
However...
That Drowning theme vid was tails' pov...

@404TVfr you're getting mad over a timestamp in a video- 💀
@@FiFiTheFeline mate where did I say I was mad...?
0:28 DAYMN DIS SHIT GO HARD BRO🔥🔥🔥
What happened in the hide and seek game: Tails is on a mountain and then the drowning theme plays as Tails runs away. You chase him down and then you find a spring to get to high ground. You spindash alil and then you push Tails into the river. He starts drowning and the water turns... Red? Maybe it's Tails blood. But anyway, A red ring comes out of the water and you collect it to pick it up. Then, the victory screen is displayed. I have a theory where the red rings contains the SOULS of Rewrite's victims which gives power to him. Oh yea, in the FNF mod about rewrite, in the song Trinity, Rewrite has only THREE of the rings.
If you die in the FNF mod bf screams and turns into a red ring
I don't think Fnf canon
@@SnowyDreeumrrhe was made for fnf. Im pretty sure it is
That's what the rings are lol
Playing as the all powerful demon is such a nice change of pace huh. Also Rewrite's icon looks like it has seen some shit, i love it.
That sonic cd boss theme remix is genuinely fire
Completely agree
this is like a fever dream I had once as a kid
0:24 I’m kinda curious to know why the ring around Rewrite only has 1 wing instead of a pair of 2… does it symbolize something or is it just there?
What
He is just a fan of Sephiroth, ok!
someone stole 2nd wing
Well noticed, but probably he just thought it wouldn't be as cool to have 2 wings as it is having only one... But following this line, who knows? This could mean something...
It’s more likely like a facade, he knows and we know this isn’t “sonic” so he’s just making the game close enough to pass as a sonic game
This feels like a lost prototype of an official game
Amazing work!
Big fan of the one-winged angel trope on the title screen
What a cool video and game you made Springless! Are you gotta release the REAL rewrite game someday? (Also i'm your biggest fan :D)
the drowning music is insane
BRO I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW! 🔥🔥
Hi Rewrite I can tell that you’re want to play a game with him

idk why but since the thing is very old its disturbing idk why but its got the feeling especially at 2:40

Finalmente um comentário brasileiro mano
GG
4:30 so rewrite gets those red rings by killing their friends ?
Yeah, or he absorbs their souls, whether with him killing them directly or someone else doing it.
Also he’s doing the creepy Kefka laugh like the original.
Yeah, and probably knuckles is the next one
I mean, rewrite got the 4th ring when killing bf in trinity…
I thought the soul was know his red ring
Wait a sec....
Is the plot of reuniting with your friends for a party a sunky reference?
Also brilliant job springless
how is this better than most of the 3D sonic games out there..
Wait until the official Faker/EXE game will come out, since it is targetted on 3-dimensional aspect, aswell.

The game comes out in -203 years
@@slidersides Until someone makes a fangame.
REWRITE GAMING!!! I also love the beginning title screen. It reminds me of the little Sonic Jam ring.
this is the first time i see an horror game where you play as the horror character and you actually get horrored
I love everything about this video. The low poly Saturn-esque sprites, the music, the screaming sega intro, the walking and idle animations. This looks like a shelved sega game. Awesome work :)
This looks awesome, I cant even tell if its a real game or your crazy editing skills.
this is actually so sick
I love this, I love how off it is while being more subtle about things and the roles are largely switched. Excellent, cannot wait for more.
this seriously looks like some prototype sonic game from the 90s in an alternate dimension. the mid 90's specifically. I love how Sonic keeps his goofy smile even when he's jumping
Edit: Holy crap, I just went down the rabbit hole of a life time learning who "rewrite" is and also hearing some amazing tunes AND getting back into FNF
