Scenario:Thomas harvey was an avid gamer, and one of his favorite games was Sonic 3. On a quiet afternoon, he was immersed in the game, navigating Sonic through the vibrant and action-packed levels. The familiar sounds of the game filled the room as Tom skillfully maneuvered Sonic, collecting rings and defeating enemies. As Tom played, he felt a sense of nostalgia and excitement, reminiscing about his childhood spent playing Sonic games. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow through the window. Just as Tom was about to complete a challenging level, he heard the sound of the doorbell ringing. Pausing the game, Tom got up and made his way to the front door. He found a small package on the doorstep, with no return address. Puzzled, he picked it up and brought it inside. Curiosity got the better of him, and he quickly opened the package to find a CD labeled "Sonic.EXE" and a note from his friend Kyle. The Sonic.EXE creepypasta begins with a teenager named Tom who receives a mysterious package from his friend Kyle Carter (who is dead). Inside the package is a CD labeled "Sonic.EXE" and a note from Kyle that reads: "Tom, I can't take it anymore. I had to get rid of this thing somehow before it was too late, and I was hoping you'd do it for me. I can't do it. He's after me, and if you don't destroy this CD, he'll come after you too. It's too late for me. Destroy the disc, burn it, just get rid of it, please. Kyle." Despite the ominous warning, Tom's curiosity gets the better of him, and he decides to play the game. When he starts the game, the usual Sonic the Hedgehog title screen appears, but the last frame had some disturbing differences. Sonic's eyes are now pitch black with glowing red pupils, and the background music is replaced by a haunting, distorted melody. I ignored that horrifying scene and went on. I was met with the sonic 3 level select. "what's that screen doing in a sonic 1 game?" I asked myself. the background was a red cloudy sky that looked aufully like the stardust speedway from sonic CD. (y'know, where you fight metal sonic?) and the character selection was strange too. there were tails', knuckles, and, Dr. eggman? since when do you play as eggman? and all were locked ecsept for tails'. the TV's above each of the characters where the level showcase is supposed to be was just red static. as I hovered over tails', he seemed to be pleading for me to not choose him. it almost made me quit the game, but I didn't. I clicked tails' even though he desperately wanted me not to. I heard a laugh that sounded like that kefka guy from final fantasy. I was met by green Hill act 1, but instead of the normal cheery music we are used to, a strange haunting but soothing piano melody was playing but in reverse. as I went through the level, I saw baby animals. dead. some had their lungs in the trees and was hanging by them, others were just mauled and in piles. I almost puked and tails' even seemed nervous. I continued on until the music stopped and there was no dead animals. I sighed in relefe as I didnt have to see that again..., or so I thought. I encountered sonic with his back turned and tails seemed happy to see him. I remembered the title screen I saw and I was scared to go any closer. so I pulled left on my controller. just to find out I wasn't in control anymore. tails was walking up to sonic and the closer he got the more static there was. I was scared when sonic touched him just when sonic didn't answer. I was relieved until sonic snapped his neck back with the same menacing grin and black eyes I saw in the title screen. the screen went black as a message in messed-up font appeared saying "HeLlO, Do YoU WaNt To PlAy WiTh Me?" and I was met with a level called "HIDE AND SEEK Act 1" it looked like that angel island place but it was on fire. the sound also sounded like that creepy cold caverns place from motherbound. The chase sequence begins, with Tails running away from the corrupted Sonic. The tension builds as Sonic closes in on Tails. The level ends with Sonic catching Tails, and the screen shows a gruesome image of Tails' lifeless body with bloodshot eyes and a look of terror. The game resets, and Tom now controls Knuckles in the next level, titled "You Can't Run." The environment is desolate, with bloodstains and unsettling imagery. Knuckles moves through the level, encountering the same corrupted Sonic. Sonic taunts Knuckles, leading to him getting tired of going back and forth . The level concludes with Knuckles meeting a similar fate as Tails, his lifeless body displayed on the screen. The final act involves Dr. Robotnik in a level titled "..." The environment is even more twisted and nightmarish, with walls dripping with blood and a sense of impending doom. As Dr. Robotnik navigates through the level, he encounters the corrupted Sonic in a final showdown. The act ends with Dr. Robotnik being caught and killed by Sonic, leaving his lifeless body on the screen. Throughout the game, Tom becomes increasingly disturbed by the horrifying content. He tries to shut off the game, but the corrupted Sonic appears on the screen with a chilling message: "I am God." The computer screen goes black, and Tom is left in a state of fear and paranoia. After Tom has experienced the horrifying events within the game, he receives another unexpected package. Inside, he finds a Sonic plushie, but it's not just any plushie—this one has the same pitch-black eyes with glowing red pupils as the corrupted Sonic from the game. The plushie's twisted smile mirrors that of the malevolent Sonic, adding an unsettling layer to the whole experience. Tom is left in shock and fear, realizing that the cursed entity has reached out into the real world. The plush serves as a tangible reminder of the digital nightmare he encountered, blurring the lines between virtual horror and reality. The presence of the plushie reinforces the idea that the malevolent force is not confined to the game and can affect the real world, leaving Tom in a state of paranoia and dread. Game Over Screen After Dr. Robotnik's level, the game ends with a disturbing image of the corrupted Sonic, displaying the message "I am God." This chilling conclusion leaves the player with a sense of dread and unease.
