Upon reading this recently, I would like to bring it to as many peoples attention as possible.

So somebody has gone & created a reboot of Sonic.exe. If anyone sighed out of boredom at this, you best keep it to yourself or else I will come over there & smack you with a fresh salmon! :fish: ... Or a goldfish, apparently.

Now, I would like to inform you now that this is not a light read; It's 33 pages long with each character having their own chapter. To say the least, things have been fleshed out nicely. To say the most? It's packed with so much more creativity than you would most likely comprehend. It may take more than one session to get through this one, but believe me. It's worth it.

Here's the brief rundown taken from the description:

"Hello everyone. This is a reboot of Sonic.exe, a creepypasta originally written by J.C. the Hyena. I felt after seeing the game based off of the Creepypasta and the numerous critique videos on YouTube that ensued, that this was rather necessary. It was supposed to be done by Halloween, but stuff got in the way. ^^;

A few things that I fixed up were:

   1: Subtly and build up. This also includes switching events around.
   2: Tom's reactions and making him not a total idiot. The flaws he portrays now are slightly more realistic.
   3: Treating Tom and Kyle as more complete characters.
   4: The game itself. I know, "It's a game just to demonstrate his powers and use as a portal to take his victim's souls," but that doesn't excuse it from not having a narrative of its own. Also, Sonic.exe is sorta boring with the flat ground and the "hold right to lose" gameplay.
   5: A particularly infamous aspect of the original's ending was taken out.

I also added some elements that make this more than the "Make a protagonist into a monster" affair."

What I say to you right now is out of honesty & not some attempt to just hype this up for views/favs/whatevs. A lot of effort & imagination has gone into this. A *lot*. Even if you don't agree with something about it, these efforts deserve to be recognised & respected. So if my words have any weight with Sonic.exe fans, I ask something I've never asked before of people on here; Spread the word, please.
