An internet horror brought to life
Sonix.exe_past is an attempt to make the
popular creepypasta
playable for everyone. In the original story, Sonic.exe is
an eldritch entity
that has taken over the retro game, taking the form of the popular blue hedgehog. In this game, however, Sonic is
all bloodied
and sports
glowing red eyes
. He gradually makes his appearance over the course of the game.
The game follows the standard Sonic platformer, having you run through different stages. It even has simple controls for
left and right running
. One major difference is that in this game, you play as different characters from the franchise instead of only Sonic. You get to try Tails, Knuckles the Echidna, and even play Doctor Robotnik on one level. However, the
game immediately glitches
and the meta-horror slowly unfolds.
If you’ve read the original internet story, then you will find the game
underperforming
. Most of the text in the game is
in Russian and Japanese
, which leaves certain parts of the premise unintelligible for speakers of other languages. Additionally, the entire game runs for
less than 10 minutes
. It even has no replayability value since the glitches and the final scare have no variations whatsoever.
A fun and quick creepypasta
Overall, Sonix.exe_past remains a fun game
good for a quick scare
. Like most creepypasta entries, it blurs the line between
fact and fiction
, giving you a partly believable Sonic the Hedgehog experience that glitches and gets worse the more you play. What is actually a 10-minute experience might feel longer for people who get spooked out easily.
Not replayable
but a must-try.
