SEGA decided to get in on the April Fool's Day pranks a day early as they have released a new free Sonic the Hedgehog title on Steam. The game is called The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, and it has been created as a special visual point-and-click novel adventure starring many of your favorite characters from the series. The premise of the game is that during Amy's birthday, she decides to host a murder mystery party for all her friends aboard the Mirage Express, a train that you all happen to be passengers on. You will play as a new character who is starting their first day at work on the train, when suddenly the game takes a twisted turn with Sonic being murdered for real at the party. You will join the others in trying to solve the mystery by interrogating passengers and following the clues left all around, working together to find out who carried out this grizzly murder. You can read more below as the game is now live.
