  For April Fool's Day, Sega released a game where the company finally went and did the unthinkable: they killed Sonic. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a real visual novel in which you investigate the death of Sega's beloved mascot, currently free on Steam. Here's the game's description via the publisher:&nbsp;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
It\u2019s Amy Rose\u2019s birthday, and she\u2019s hosting a murder mystery party on the Mirage Express! When Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the game\u2019s victim, everyone is off to get to the bottom of things. However, something feels a bit off \u2013 is this really an innocent game or is something more sinister afoot?<\/em><\/p>\n
Surprisingly, the free game has proved very popular. As told by\u00a0Sonic social media\u00a0manager Katie Chrzanowski<\/a> (via GameSpot<\/em>), more one\u00a0million people have played the game. Going a step further, it\u2019s apparently the 61st highest-reviewed game on Steam right now, and as GameSpot<\/em> points out,\u00a0the best-rated Sonic game on Steam (though that\u2019s not the highest margin to clear, all things considered). As of this writing,\u00a0The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog has over 11,000 user reviews on Steam, netting it an \u201cOverwhelmingly Positive\u201d ranking. You can check the game out for yourself right here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
