Adding tropes seen in v5 of the game.


Since then, ''Sonic.exe'' has received fan-made sequels and has also been produced into a video game of sorts that replicates the experience ([[ThisIsReality sans Sonic actually coming out of the screen]]...[[ParanoiaFuel hopefully]]), by YouTube user [[http://www.youtube.com/user/MY5TCrimson MY5TCrimson]].

* InterfaceScrew: [[spoiler:In Version 5, before the next Japanese text appears, the UI starts glitching out with "SCORE" and "RING" being mirrored and eventually the UI slowly disappears altogether.]]



* NothingIsScarier: The creepypasta and game both run on this element. Such examples include how the scenes have changed, text boxes have been altered, and Sonic is behaving...oddly. A particular example occurs in the first level where Tails runs along what looks like Green Hill Zone with oddly no enemies or rings, with a sense of unease observed by the music. Then he finds the trail of murdered animals...
** To say nothing of Eggman's level which starts with him walking down a hallway, with in mind what has already been seen

''Sonic.exe'' originated as a {{Creepypasta}} seen [[http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic.exe here]] concerning a man named Tom who receives a bizarre CD in the mail from his friend Kyle, who hasn't heard from in a while. [[GenreBlindness Disregarding Kyle's note telling him to destroy the CD]], Tom plays it and is immediately disturbed by the title screen showing Sonic with bleeding black and red eyes. As he plays the game further, Tom bears witness to just how monstrous this incarnation of the blue hedgehog really is.
