The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog Has Been Downloaded More Than One Million Times

One of the most surprising releases of 2023 is easily The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehogyes you read that name correctly. The visual novel title, which many thought was an early April Fools joke, has quickly caught fire in the video game community, and has since become one of the most positive reviewed titles on Steam. The game’s social media manager Katie Chrzanowski, who also happens to be the executive producer of the title, posted on her Twitter that The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog has now been downloaded more than one million times on the Steam platform, a mere five days since it launched.

In addition, Chrzanowski also shared that the title is now the #61 highest rated game of all time on Steam. Considering that Steam, the worlds largest PC digital retailer, has a seemingly endless library of titles to go through, that #61 ranking is not only very impressive, it’s an absolutely insane achievement. The biggest reason for this is more than likely the fact that The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog costs absolutely nothing. The game is a free download title, something that a lot of Sonic fans were surprised by, let alone a AAA tier franchise in today’s video game market.

As we already mentioned, The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog was released this past Friday, March 31, the day before April Fools. The game is the standard visual novel with point and click interactive features. This one just so happens to contain well known characters from the Sonic series, and there’s no better way to grab someone’s attention than the namesake; The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog. Players then create their own character and begin to interrogate Sonic characters such as Amy and Tails, similarly to Capcom’s Ace Attorney franchise.
