History VideoGame / SonicExe

* AGodAmI: One of the messages that X leaves on the screen is "I AM GOD".

** Once you enter the goal area in the normal world or defeat Eggman in the third act, the game won't switch to the DarkWorld in order to prevent a KaizoTrap from occuring.

* ContinuityNod: Tom and Kyle are mentioned in the sequel. Apparently, they weren't the first to play it...

* DontTouchItYouIdiot: Kyle's letter tells Tom not to play the Sonic game. No guesses as to what [[TooDumbToLive Tom]] does right after reading that...
* EldritchAbomination: X himself is this. According to his [[AllThereInTheManual official backstory]], he was created in the gap between dimensions and had originally did not have an appearance resembling Sonic himself. He's omnipotent within his home world, to the point where he can make his world seem a lot like Sonic's at first glance just to give his victims a sense of false security. And the Sonic characters that X kills? [[AndIMustScream Those are actually his previous victims, trapped in the bodies of Sonic characters and forced to be his "slaves"]] (all the while they're being killed in-"game" in very gruesome manners just to play with future victims before he steals their souls).

* ForTheEvulz: All the things X does like trapping Sonic's best friend into hellish dimension for torture'em and/or kill'em are simply to satiate his sadist and depraved instinct.

* SkewedPriorities: Tom is more worried about fictional video game characters being murdered than the fact that Kyle may have died trying to save him.

* TheMostDangerousVideoGame

It is also worth noting that since the writing was moved to the Trollpasta Wiki, the author threw a fit and attempted to gather an army to force it back onto the Creepypasta Wiki, calling it a masterpiece and stating that it will eventually completely subjugate the internet, proceeding to block everyone who called out his childishness in the comments. However, he has since deleted the rant, and formally apologized for the way he reacted.

* AllThereInTheManual: At one point, the author to the original Creepypasta [[http://masterggg.deviantart.com/journal/Sonic-exe-finally-revealed-333606342 revealed X's official Backstory]] which, amongst other things, explains his nature, his personality, why he resembles Sonic in the first place, how he's able to steal his victim's souls and what he actually does to his victims.

* AxCrazy: X. Psychotic, sadist, and totally devoid of human compassion.

* BloodierAndGorier and DarkerAndEdgier: Than the main Sonic series. An EldritchAbomination brutally and bloodily murders the characters before going after people in the real world.

* CheckPointStarvation: ''An Ordinary Sonic 1 ROM Hack''. At first it's [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the normal world, where all of the checkpoints keep their original spots. It is then played very straight in the DarkWorld, where both the checkpoint lampposts AND the goal turnstile are gone. This means that [[HopeSpot you could be closing in on one of them]],[[FailureIsTheOnlyOption only for the game to warp you to the Dark World, causing it to vanish]], and instead have you risk starting the whole act over again should you die from anything there.

-->'''X''': [[spoiler:No one will ever notice what happened to him, not even his family. Why? Because I took his place]].

** This is also true of the Badniks/Eggman/Robotnik in ''An Ordinary Sonic ROM Hack''. Whenever you enter X's world, all the enemies and Eggman have their eyes replaced with dark eyes and red pupils (much like Robotnik in ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM''), and they are invincible in this realm.
* {{Sadist}}: X sends everyone to their horrific fate.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the main Sonic series. An EldritchAbomination brutally and bloodily murders the characters before going after people in the real world.

''Sonic.exe'' originated as a {{Creepypasta}} by Sir JC the Hyena seen [[http://web.archive.org/web/20170805134728/http://trollpasta.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 been heard from in a while. [[GenreBlindness Disregarding Kyle's note telling him to destroy the CD]], Tom plays it and is disturbed by the title screen showing Sonic with [[RedEyesTakeWarning bleeding red eyes]] and [[BlackEyesOfEvil black sclera]]. As he plays the game further, Tom bears witness to just how monstrous [[BigBad X]], this incarnation of the blue hedgehog, really is.

A sequel (also in video game form, and made by [=MY5TCrimson=] too), based on a spinoff, ''Sally.exe'', is available [[http://gamejolt.com/games/platformer/sally-exe-the-game/20920/ here]].

A fan film is also being produced.

In 2013, the [[http://web.archive.org/web/20170721083805/http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic.exe/Round_2 official sequel]] was made. However, it doesn't focus much on the game itself (in fact, only two of the three new scenarios were described), rather what happens when you play the game.

On October 31st 2017, the author of Sonic.exe posted a remake of the entire story. If you wish to look at the tropes of the Sonic.exe remake, click [[WebOriginal/SonicExeRemake here.]]

* CosmicHorrorStory: A bizarre attempt at one, given X's nature and what it does to people, not to mention the theft of souls and all that.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Understatement of the ''century''.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:Kyle]]'s fate in [[http://spinpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic%27s_Hell this spinoff]].

* SmallNameBigEgo: The creator ''really'' holds his story in high regard in spite of its limited influence, and [[http://c0rps3.deviantart.com/art/A-rant-from-The-Author-of-Sonic-exe-508262184 threw a conniption fit]] when he found out that it was taken off of Creepypasta Wiki and moved to Trollpasta Wiki.

* SchmuckBait: Tom is advised by Kyle's letter [[DontTouchItYouIdiot not to play the hacked game.]] [[WhatAnIdiot Guess what Tom does.]]

** ''An Ordinary Sonic 1 ROM Hack'' allows monitors to respawn. The reason for this is so that Sonic will always have a way to temporary return his world to normal and prevent Sonic.exe from killing him. There are also more monitors in general in the hack compared to the original ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 Sonic 1]]'', including in the fights with Eggman, because the author said that the game would've been UnwinnableByDesign otherwise, but he also stated that the additional amount that was put in wouldn't end up making the hack "too easy".

* AxCrazy; X. Psychotic, sadist, and totally devoid of human compassion.

''[[BlatantLies An Ordinary]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Sonic 1 ROM Hack]]'', a {{crossover}} [[GameMod ROM hack]] of the original ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' video game, was released at Sonic Hacking Contest 2013. In this game, Sonic.EXE invades the game and targets the genuine article. Unfortunately, the author was unable to complete the game before the contest deadline, so [[NoEnding Star Light Zone and Scrap Brain Zone are]] DummiedOut. However, he has recently confirmed that he is working on a complete version of the game, two years after its original release.

* PerspectiveFlip: [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8493944/1/Sonic-exe-Through-the-Eyes-of-the-Characters Through the Eyes of the Characters]], played through, well, [[CaptainObvious the game's characters]], X himself, [[spoiler:and one of his unfortunate victims]].
