You may play the brand-new, authentic, and cost-free game The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog right now.

In a very sudden, very confusing surprise, Sega has shadow dropped a new Sonic the Hedgehog game for PC and Mac. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, as baffling as that sounds, is a free murder mystery game on Steam you can download and play right now. The point-and-click adventure puts you amid the Sonic cast on a murder mystery party aboard the Mirage Express to celebrate Amy Rose’s birthday, but — gasp — the game turns out to be real as Sonic is found keeled over, dead on the floor.

While I’m not a fan of dumb April Fool’s jokes, I’m all for fun and bizarre headcanon exercises. So kudos to Sega for going above and above — a day early, mind you — to not just release that ridiculous trailer for this game but to actually develop the darn game and put it out there for free so people can enjoy it.

Sonic the Hedgehog…was murdered!? Get to the bottom of the mystery in this brand-new adventure!
