Given The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog's title and that it was released as an April Fool's joke, I thought it'd be more of a parody of the Sonic franchise, but it turns out to be a more straightforward execution of its "Sonic characters at a murder mystery party" premise in visual novel form, which is less interesting to me as someone who isn't a particularly ardent fan of the Sonic characters or lore. Still, it's enjoyable enough as a short, free game, even if it should have had controller support.

Also, the deduction minigame sucks, though at least there are accessibility options that remove almost any challenge from it.
