Forget Sage wearing the shirt. It's METAL who you should be looking at. Bro accepted his creator as his dad, too. It was already stated that Sage saw Eggman as his dad, but seeing Metal of all bots wearing the shirt is good attention to detail, and cute.
Is it weird that I want the POV character to come back. He’s a cave loving, trash inspecting, social anxiety ridden guy who’s also like… The Most normal guy in sonic canon that thinks in infinite runner. I love him dearly
I’m glad Sage is an actual member that’s going to stay in the series… cause honestly, she’s perfect for the group, one robot that’s mostly silent but can destroy anything in his path, one robot that’s dumb but slightly smart, one robot that’s just dumb and nothing else, and then we have Sage who’s the most smartest one in the robot group and is mostly calm, all of them combined with Eggman who’s the grumpy dad just makes the perfect group, and I hope in the next game we get to see them more
All I want are the pics from the concert!!! That would be cute and wholesome at the same time! But seriously though, he'd just go along with it because it's Amy.
Ah yes, mental note: shadow likes chocolate cake. Seriously tho the characterization of shadow was actually good in this game and I love it. He’s not completely “edgy with no feelings” but actually went out of his way DURING the game to try and get Amy’s present after feeling bad that he was the only one who didn’t get her a gift 😂 Poor shadow’s probably never even been to a birthday party beside’s Sonic’s 💀
Wait, Shadow went to Sonic’s party? The closest I remember was Archie, but he wasn’t really there for the party as much as randomly passing through and Scourge pissed him off.
Fun fact: Shadow apparently likes cats and would like to open a (I think cat sanctuary? I forgot), BUT It’s from the Sonic twitter takeover so idk if it’s canon
The ending is absolutely amazing. Gotta appreciate the humor with orbot and cubot, and the fact that sage and metal are wearing “let’s go dad” shirts. Masterpiece.
I kind of found it clever that it is Amy's birthday in this game, because, coincidentally, it is Sonic CD's 30th anniversary, which is where Amy made her debut.
@@Spyroossecondaccount i know I was just saying if they aged after each of being introduced then she would be 43 right now if she wasn’t a video game character who wasn’t perpetually the same age.
One would say that Sonic likes to make dramatic entrances, but to wake up exactly when his friend was about to beat up his other friend, that's awfully convenient.
I love how they reference Sonic Frontiers here, Sonic maxing out his rings to get max speed, Eggman mentioning Sage, so I guess this game is canon now huh? And I find it funny how Sonic went from facing an entire moon to facing a train
@@gsm4919 I wonder though does this game happen before or after the dlc for frontiers? Because the last dlc for frontiers will be a new story, and I think it will add Tails, Knuckles and Amy as playable characters
@@lazyduckz09Doubt it. DLC will probably be the gang's Cyberspace journeys before Sonic saved them. Maybe some Cyberspace stages with cutscenes in-between. I'm certain it won't be base game sequel content.
@@lazyduckz09 it definitely takes place after frontiers but not sure after the dlc wave 3. I’m pretty sure it does cause I just beat the game and it mentions and references bits of frontiers so ima guess they got off the islands and forgot all about Kronos. Though I’m 99% sure this isn’t cannon anyway so it could just be a whole different universe or timeline 😂
I absolutely ADORED this game. Apart from the amazing art, music, and references, it was so refreshing to see so many of these characters again and interacting with one another. The game even managed to make me love the main character you play with in the span of a couple of hours. This felt more like engaging with the sonic cast with an OC than sonic forces tried to do.
@@jeremiahgreen5632 I try not to bring it up too much during conversation but for this game specifically I felt like it had to be compared since it involves an OC.
You know wants I pointed several things out throughout this story: -Even though Sonic is passed out for most the game, His very presence is felt throughout the whole game and he is the driving force that started the plot and ended the game. So, In a way; This feels like a Sonic game without being like a Sonic game which is very clever to add something new to the Sonic Franchise just after Sonic Frontiers, which is also something new. -If this takes place after Sonic Frontiers, Then it looks, They're sticking with Tails where he trying to be independent from Sonic; Because, While he usually Sonic's sidekick, Now he has a sidekick, The Player character. -If this takes place after Sonic Frontiers, Alot of peoples think that as soon as Knuckles leaves the island and stop being the Master emerald's guardian, Someone is steal the Master Emerald because Knuckles not there. But luckily, This is not a serious game where that happens yet and I'm certain the Sonic Frontiers sequel will explore the Master Emerald origin. Also, The fact that Knuckles is obviously an nod to Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie animated version. -It nice to see Amy not being obsessed with Sonic throughout the game until Sonic is actually not pretending to be unconscious and more than justified reasons for being her to be obsessed with Sonic. Also, Since The entire story takes place on her birthday and it was her idea to have an mystery party and and she technically defeated the Bad Guy instead of Sonic; Just show whoever wrote this story knew exactly what they were doing with Amy character and expanded. - Rogue and Blaze are being paired together most of this game which you don't see often in games so that a nice changed of things and added something new, Both of them written almost exactly the same; My only issue is that Rogue obsessed with little jewelry is little exaggerate because I know she wouldn't be "drooling over a sparkly ornament" but I'm sure that just play fo laugh and Blaze while everyone throughout the story is playing different roles but she is only one who embrace her role and her dialogue with Rogue gives off the impression that she is somewhat annoyed by Rogue which I find in character for her. -Vector is mostly the same and while it seems weird that being an detective doesn't get to play the role of the detective, It most likely that he would have found about the reveal neared the end most quickly than Tails and ruined the game. Also since Vector was in the library which is known for having computers, I guess he found the computer room. -I like how they don't immediately put Shadow the obviously murder and instead show that he care about others by giving Amy tickets to her favorite bands. Look like Shadow is written back just like Sonic 06 and he not just uses an marketing tool. -Beware the quite ones they said, especially if that quite one is a ninja, a stealth assassin, So it somehow in his character to be a killer. Also, I know some peoples are critically Espio easily be fooled into using a weapon against his father but you need to remember that Espio is mostly serious about focus but I don't think he that social and mostly lack skills. -And finally, It looks like Sage is back and it looks like she staying after one year from her game debut and now she has Metal, Orbot and Cubot as her brothers. It not an big game like Sonic Frontiers but I like this game and now I can't wait to see what Sonic future holds.
The fact that they mention Monkey Ball and Shadow, Knuckles and Vector being fans of it was the best. Wish that after we fixed the arcade cabinet that Monkey Ball would become a 'THINK!' minigame, would love some variety.
I love that player character! He basically revealed how chaotic the Sonic cast is when viewing them realistically. Also it's kinda smart how the player did that "speaking to yourself in 3rd person thing" because it's also like the game talking to the player.
Sonic rowing a boat from a shark is the funnies thing I've ever seen. His face and the fact that I though he wouldn't ever be in a boat in the first place made it hilarious
The team really went all out on this game, despite being an April fools prank and released for free! If ever they make more visual novel content in the future and charge for it, I'd be thrilled to purchase and support!
You'd think that the player character might be a little more included at the end. I would have loved to see Tails pull him in for the party at minimum since he helped with the case...but no, once the train is stopped, that's it, they completely forget about him. Kinda feel bad, even if he does win the lottery and go to space optionally.
sadly, that's what always happens to characters in spin offs like this, after their fufilled their role, they never appeard again or get mention sadly.
It's okay, Barry the Microwave Chef is gonna come back in a future game on the spaceship that he bought with all that lottery money and save everyone by shooting the big bad with the onboard lasers, forcing Sonic and co. to actually thank him for all his hard work. Thanks for taking credit for all the detective work, Tails
@@SnowEspeon In fairness Tails pretty much babysat the protag for the entire game, but yeah can't wait for Barry "Trash Man" Spaceship to return in future games.
Theirs some IDW references in the Eggman scene as you can see the Face Ship (Metal Virus arc) and the Eggperial City Control Tower (the current arc we're in)
@🥝 kiwi 🥝 being made by sonic team doesn’t make something not cannon. You’re not going to venture to say that Sonic Mania isn’t canon? It is made by a different team, but still under sega, so it could still 100% be cannon.
I wonder is the murderer changes every time you play it or if the culpret stays the same. That would be really fun if all the evidence and motives shifted every playthrough.
Exactly what I thought! All they need to do is take some inspiration from Murder on the Owl Express (it's a fan favorite chapter in A Hat in Time for a reason).
It's the same person every time but OMG THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS JUST THINKING EARLIER TODAY! THAT IT WOULD'VE BEEN SO COOL IF EVERY PLAYTHROUGH, SOMEONE NEW IS THE MURDERER AND THE STORY JUST SLIGHTLY ALTERS EVERY TIME! If they ever do a sequel or DLC, or WHATEVER to follow up or add to this beautiful game, I would LOVE for this to be the case! Have everyone be the murderer, even Tails or Amy if they're feeling spicy :D I love a genuine mystery, and it would not only add replay value, but everyone will have a slightly different first experience! It would be genius, WE NEED MORE OF THIS CONTENT!! 🔥🔥
This game may be short, but its the start of a new sonic Era. Everyone feels in character, and the music is again, awesomely written. P.S 2:02:15 is just pure enjoyment and 1 of the reasons I love eggman.
@@elise8353 I'm not complaining. I just don't play Sonic all that often so I wouldn't know how long all the games are and for you to jump to conclusions about me. Complaining is more of a shame
@@Theducksterisback Then why did you say that 2 hours is short for a Sonic game if you don’t even know how long Sonic games are in general. That makes even less sense😂
I’m just gonna go straight ahead and binge-watch this whole thing! Edit: That twist at the end though… I’m not gonna tell exactly what it is to avoid spoilers.
I'm Soo glad shadow is starting to act like his 06 self again Spoiler alert He tried to get concert tickets for Amy and tried to keep it a surprise Modern shadow would never do something Soo nice Sega is actually starting to let shadow be the 06 version of himself again This we are truly in a #sonicrenaissance
When did Shadow show any interest in Sonic's friends in 06? If anything he only kept to himself and Rouge/Omega. He barely interacted with Sonic's friends aside from just Sonic himself in 06.
Weell he barely appears in the most recent games, not counting TSR in sonic colors he himself says he is preoccupied for sonic, in the forces dlc he goes looking for omega after his dissapearence and again he gets preoccupied for sonic when infinite goes after him. This last one is only speculation but shadow dissapears aftes his dlc and appears after sonic comes back so i want to believe he was looking for him during this period of time and when he came back he allied with the whole team
At first I thought it was a joke, but I'm hella glad that we see a game like this. It's fun and entertaining! Congratulations to the creators! And I'm glad people like you decide to play the game. ❤️🙏
Did Eggman reference Robotization from SATAM at the end? He says he hasn’t done it in a while so it can’t be the Badniks and I don’t think the Zombots count as robots.
@Dylan MacBride The 2nd Honestly hope they bring back the characters from 90’s Sonic SatAM TV Series/Sonic Archie Comics, maybe in a story that takes place in an alternative reality!?
The train has a HAL-9000 feel to it...one eye lens "face", controller of all functions on their vessel, out to get its passengers, emotionally immature and homicidal. AND ultimately manipulated by higher parties to achieve a hidden agenda. All that was missing was a "Daisy Bell" number
NOOO WHY DID I CHECK THE COMMENT SECTION I JUST SPOILED MYSELF 😭😭 Edit: Well I just embarrassed myself, thought it was gonna be a Sage & Metal Sonic final boss! 😅😂
Guys I figured it out! Mario died on the 31st of March. And Sonic died on the same date. But on the same date, Mario's collection of the three best games ever couldn't be purchased anymore. While Sonic had an entirely original, fully playable free game. This confirms it. Sega does what Nintendon't.
I wish you could pick to be male or female other than that this story was amazing I loved the outfits and the ending was so cute and this was hilarious 2:02:27 😂🥰 🤩
I doubt anyone will see this, but this is truly reminding me of that book written by Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express? I don’t know of anyone has seen the movies or read the book, since I did both, just thought I’d throw it out there :)
I greatly hope this is cannon because if it’s cannon that actually has some implications if you read into some of the one of lines of dialogue. Firstly Eggman mentioned that he hadn’t turned anyone into a robot in a long time meaning that robitisization would be cannonized at least in part by this game. Additionally Sage is alive in this game, and finally and most importantly Shadow is a sweetheart in this game
I know this was probably meant as an April Fool’s joke, but it actually made for a good visual novel game! Well done, SEGA! Or whoever made it.
It is actually been done by Sega
and by fans from what ive seen by the trailer! neat! 😁👍
Sega, the Sonic The Hedgehog is what sega uses as a channel. There's no reason to be confused.
Plus, they announced this.
The description says it wasn’t made by the Sonic Team, so it is probably made by fans as a headcanon
Edit: it was distributed by Sega, my mistake
Shadow is the most in character here that he’s been in like 15 years

I’m just gonna go straight ahead and binge-watch this whole thing!
Edit: That twist at the end though… I’m not gonna tell exactly what it is to avoid spoilers.
It was Big the cat !!!
(Not really but you’ll never see it coming and is actually a good little twist ) .
Lol, i can't believe it was Mario because he couldn't afford people were literally gifting free games!
I was shocked when morbius was guilty of murdering sonic.
@@anakinskywalker4596 can't believe Morbius morbed all over sonic 😔
Can't believe it Spy was on the train?!? Damn and backstabbed Sonic with a special knife sheesh
I'm not gonna lie, that game was legitimately entertaining for an april fools game.

This game was so much fun!
Sega please make more games like this, they’re awesome!
Funny how it took me longer to beat this game than Sonic Forces
@@shibey8655I needed much time for Forces. I think it was worth it. After all there was huge characterization
Imo this would’ve been better than forces. Like legit
I can't shake the feeling that there's more to this. That's a mighty resourceful amount of character art that can be utilised in the future haha.
they did say the train can also do escape rooms...
(then exploded it)
I'm Soo glad shadow is starting to act like his 06 self again
Spoiler alert
He tried to get concert tickets for Amy and tried to keep it a surprise
Modern shadow would never do something Soo nice
Sega is actually starting to let shadow be the 06 version of himself again
This we are truly in a #sonicrenaissance
The sega we're dealing with completely different than the one from 5 -13 years ago. We went to trying to force us to pay for Super Sonic to this.
Shadow had a lot of nice moments in Sonic X.
When did Shadow show any interest in Sonic's friends in 06? If anything he only kept to himself and Rouge/Omega. He barely interacted with Sonic's friends aside from just Sonic himself in 06.
@@mikeanthony3300 When Silver was trying to kill Sonic, Shadow immediately saved Sonic
Weell he barely appears in the most recent games, not counting TSR in sonic colors he himself says he is preoccupied for sonic, in the forces dlc he goes looking for omega after his dissapearence and again he gets preoccupied for sonic when infinite goes after him.
This last one is only speculation but shadow dissapears aftes his dlc and appears after sonic comes back so i want to believe he was looking for him during this period of time and when he came back he allied with the whole team
SEGA Fans: Were never gonna get a Sonic Murder Mystery Game
SEGA: Hold my Emeralds
Amy: Someone murdered my darling Sonic!
Also Amy: (happy face intensifies)
I'm scared of Amy smiling while realizing that Sonic died
Same
At first I thought it was a joke, but I'm hella glad that we see a game like this. It's fun and entertaining! Congratulations to the creators! And I'm glad people like you decide to play the game. ❤️🙏
I love that Eggman is also a single dad of two now.
It’s about time amy gets a birthday. I love that there’s more progression with the characters
the best series we didn't know we wanted
This game ain’t even out for 2 days and someone already got a full play through of it
The power of linear story
Not even a full day
I played this on the steam deck and had a great time! I wish Sega could make more games like this in the future!
Did Eggman reference Robotization from SATAM at the end? He says he hasn’t done it in a while so it can’t be the Badniks and I don’t think the Zombots count as robots.
@Dylan MacBride The 2nd
Honestly hope they bring back the characters from 90’s Sonic SatAM TV Series/Sonic Archie Comics, maybe in a story that takes place in an alternative reality!?
Robotization did happen in Lost World... which is still canon. So he has done it before.
@@AceTheBirb wasn’t that done by the Zeti though?
@@isplat927 they made the tech from what they took from Eggman...
Hrmst...
1:57:41 THE FINAL BOSS MUSIC SLAPS SO HARD
The train has a HAL-9000 feel to it...one eye lens "face", controller of all functions on their vessel, out to get its passengers, emotionally immature and homicidal. AND ultimately manipulated by higher parties to achieve a hidden agenda. All that was missing was a "Daisy Bell" number
It's kind of insane how the sonic social media team made a better game than some of sonic team's work
Well they are the ones most in touch with what the fans want
OMG THE FACT SHADOW PLAYED THE GAME 😂❤. NOW WE KNOW HE ALSO LIKES VIDEO GAMES
This was great. Thanks for the full playthrough 😁
I loved that Sage was here I flipped out when I saw her at the end with Metal
Just finished playing the game and not gonna lie I enjoyed it so much!
This game was absolutely fun, and thank you for showing the full playthrough 😊
1:29:01
ah yes, the good ol classic
Sonic "F*ck you" moment
2:02:26
SAGE! And metal sonic!!! Nice surprise!!!
Wearing "Let's go Dad" Tshirts as well
NOOO WHY DID I CHECK THE COMMENT SECTION
I JUST SPOILED MYSELF 😭😭
Edit: Well I just embarrassed myself, thought it was gonna be a Sage & Metal Sonic final boss! 😅😂
@@hehe-IgoBRRRR TBF you clicked on a video that was literally a full play-through of the game
The art style, the gameplay, the music, the mini-game.. My visual novel gamer soul is screaming!
It’s good Sage is now an official member of the group and not a 1 off character like Infinite and Mephiles the Dark
Well it seems Sega have plans for Infinite.
@@lAlwaysHopel Yeah. He's basically OG edgy Sage.
Didn't know, SEGA actually made this as an April Fools Joke Game, but I'm still giving some Props to SEGA for making this
Guys I figured it out!
Mario died on the 31st of March.
And Sonic died on the same date.
But on the same date, Mario's collection of the three best games ever couldn't be purchased anymore. While Sonic had an entirely original, fully playable free game.
This confirms it. Sega does what Nintendon't.
The fact Sega decides to murder sonic as a kids game man 😂
06 wasn't afraid
i love how sage is just wearing a "let's go dad" shirt and looking disapointed, i the image appearing and went AH !
This just popped out of the blue! This game does seem very interesting too. I might sign up for steam
YOOO!
SAGE AND METAL SONIC!!!!
THEY ARE LIKE SIBLINGS!!!
EGGMAN'S KIDS!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
SO ADORABLE!!!!
For an April Fools game, This is actually pretty good!
I wish you could pick to be male or female other than that this story was amazing I loved the outfits and the ending was so cute and this was hilarious 2:02:27 😂🥰 🤩
I can't believe you saw the announcement and IMMEDIATELY hit record god damn, good job!
I doubt anyone will see this, but this is truly reminding me of that book written by Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express? I don’t know of anyone has seen the movies or read the book, since I did both, just thought I’d throw it out there :)
Pretty good game!! I ma sure we will feel nostalgia after 7 years.
New Ace Attorney game looks great!
To be an April Fools thing, turns out to be something great.Thanks Sega
2:02:15 LMAO Sage's face
wait sage is alive!!!
Yeah they didn't forget about Metal!!
She looks so sad... pwp
For a April fools game, its actually pretty good
Funny that Amy's birthday is almost on first April. I wonder whether Sonic thought omce or twice that hee partys were jokes?
What's sad is that 2 hours of content is about the same level of what Sonic Forces was offering, and this is way better quality.
Sonic Forces is such wasted potential.
I love when video games or video game franchises do these types of stuff for April 1st. At least this is a playable game, unlike Agri Birds.
This is the best Sonic April fools day gift we have gotten, the game kinda reminds of the SpongeBob episode The Great Patty Caper and I love it 🌟
this game is so unironically good that i hope it gets a sequel
I greatly hope this is cannon because if it’s cannon that actually has some implications if you read into some of the one of lines of dialogue. Firstly Eggman mentioned that he hadn’t turned anyone into a robot in a long time meaning that robitisization would be cannonized at least in part by this game. Additionally Sage is alive in this game, and finally and most importantly Shadow is a sweetheart in this game
This became ace attorney, among us, and detective Conan all in one
SHADOWS BIRTHDAY GIFT TO AMY YALL IM SOBBING
1:51:27 this confirms that this game takes place after sonic frontiers. Eggman mentions sage, and she is from that game.
She flat out appears at the end
2:02:13
I'll would pay so much money for a "let's go dad t-shirt" and plushies of the cast in the outfits
Is no one gonna talk about the Super Monkey Ball arcade game, that was my childhood, great product placement there SEGA!😂😂😍😍
Can we agree this is to be the next story book game
for something made on april fools, this is really well made.
Props to the chef
It’s only been 1 hour since the murder of sonic came out and everyone is starting to play it damn
Thank you for this amazing playthrough! You really went along with the story and did great in the train battle! Nice job!
April Fool aside, this is the best game ever. GOTY confirmed
This is literally just Ace Attorney but with Sonic. Well played.
The game just came out and there is already full playthrough, I hope we are playing as custom character from Forces
Nah this is a new character, who I have elected to call ‘Amogus’
Nah, in Forces we played as a Ref wolf.
It's not him.
@@LeoDetective nope, as a custom character
@@Splatboy0612 Then why he don't remember Sonic and his friends.
And they don't remember him.
@@LeoDetective because it's custom character
