For a bit of lore, Thomas Miller (Tom) is the one who was playing the game in the 2017 version creepypasta. This goes as follows: His friend Kyle sent him the game in the hopes that Tom would destroy it because the entity (Sonic.exe) was preventing him from doing so. If Tom had destroyed it like he was begged to without playing the game, he may have been able to save his friend and all the characters within it. However, he thought it was a prank so he played it, thus giving the entity power, and dooming them all. This is why the characters in the game this video shows are upset as to why Tom is playing it.

3:35 that jumpscare actually got me 🤣

you know im still surpised after all these years EXE games still are around its great

13:49 when he said Bonnie, a bunny popped out and when he said Chica a chicken popped out

"I got that EXE in me" Alright Ryan 💀😭

"I'm so good with knuckles" *Never presses up or down to climb up or down with knuckles*

3:35 DUDE! HEART ATTACK! I'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH THE GAME'S AUDIO QUALITY ALONE! 28:06 mY guy is literally Knuckles the Echidna.

0:02 "they got that dog in them, but I have that e.x.e in me" it sounds so good and like a savage

Sonic.exe, such a throwback

Watching Ryan headbutt the wall as Knuckles millions of times rather than just pressing the up button while climbing is hilarious to me

Wow, really surprised that you played this Ryan. I was one of the artists for this game but the scene changed right before my name appeared in the credits:_) Edit: I'm the one who drew the IAG sprites that you can see in the thumbnail.

I always feel so bad for tails, he’s always the first to die and it’s usually terrifying. Like, chill bro he’s a kid 😢

Sonic.exe: the spirits of hell and the sequel sally.exe: the whispers of soul, are much bigger sonic.exe games, it actually has a story and have different endings, those are the types you should be playing, if you dare venture deeper...

You got me JUMPED with Foxy in it Ryan☠️😅☠️ 3:26

3:36 … RYAN YOU [REDACTED MESSAGES]

23:05 "i see that as my life...AHHH bzzzzghddhdjd"

14:17 It has been charted: Sky Base Sonic.Exe The Spirits of Hell

I always thought "Fun is Infinite" was soooo much scarier than Sonic.Exe

A Personal favorite Sonic.Exe game of mine is "Sonic.Exe Spirits of Hell," and the game does have a good ending where Tails, Knuckles and Eggman survive! Aldo IIRC it's voice acted. Definitely recommend it to play on the channel!

32:56 Hey leave me outta this! Alright I ain’t got nothing to do with this!

That foxy jumpscare actually got me

3:36 Foxy fucking ate my darn soul I swear dude

Hey Ryan! it's amazing to see you playing Sonic.exe again! There is a really good one called "Sonic.exe, Spirits of Hell" (Or known as Sonic.exe soh); I recommend checking out, it is a really good and long game, and has multiple endings, its worth checking out!! Amazing content as always!!

Ryan....you can climb up and down with the up and down keys...you didn't needed to jump

3:36 jeez ryan! The foxy jumpscare got me! It’s been a while i got scared by it!

Missed opportunity to say "I got that hedgehog in me"

RYAN PLEASE, IF YOU'RE STILL PLAYING FNF, FINISH THE MARIO'S MADNESS V2 MOD! YOU DIDN'T FINISH IT. I'ts been 4 months, pleeaasee...

If you want Completed ones: - Sonic Exe One More Round, Good art and animations, simple gameplay and fun to complete.(Some secrets are in every stage, like other paths and stuff) - Sonic TSoH (The Spirits of Hell) series are good but hard to play sometimes, it has multiple endings. (The second game has a lot of endings) - Sonic Fear, I think there are like 3 games of this series, they are old so expect flashy jumpscares and high difficulty. If you dont mind incompleted demos you have: - MARIO '85, Its a 1 level famous EXE game, it appears in FnF (Friday Night Funkin') Mario Madness [I know its not a Sonic one, just here to say that good Mario.exe ones appear in the FnF Mod] - [CHILDHOOD] (Its a Sonic EXE), Childhood.cue does new things and is smooth as hell in animations, its a good demo. (And has a couple of secrets) I hope you like them, enjoy

Nice to see a throwback every once in a while, they're always a pleasure to enjoy

I can’t believe you played one of my friends’ games. Thank you so much :D

I know it’s late but happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ you are one of my favorite people of all time. I appreciate everything you do for me

I really like seeing you play exe games, you bring something new with your reactions.

Its funny how 8-bitryan takes his time and he still gets hurt 😂😂 I love this video

Interesting perspective, got me thinking!

Like Ryan said this was surprising, I expected another little 10-20 minute experience but this was actually a full length indie horror that even had it's own lore. Great job to the dev

“AaAaaA” the half life scream bro 😭 15:42

20:32 - 20:53 " I'mma put dirt in your eye"

Bro, your videos are gold.

How the heck am I here in a 1minute!!!!!! Also 10/10 video, please remember to take a break!!!!!

Thanks for another absolutely great video Ryan! :D Hope you are having a nice day. Note: I would definitely enjoy if you played more exe. games!

3:38 I was eating and almost chocked it got me so bad

He got me with the foxy jumpscare😢, still love the vid. Have a great day/night Ryan❤❤

Honestly after watching this video I know want an exe game with Ryan doing the voice acting for nothing more than just the simple fact that it would be incredibly entertaining then like any other exe game out there

I never got more bored in any other game than this one. Good thing Ryan made it bit entertaining 😂

An 8 bit Ryan video to start my day? I gotta say today is gonna be a good day

Uploaded 46 seconds ago?? Dang, it’s already a good day! Love you, Ryan!

Thank you for the very good nostalgia

Bro I just got on lunch and opened my phone to this notification thank YOU

What's it been 7 years 😂 And Ryan still makes me smile or laugh with his intros 😂

KNUCKLES AND SHADOW ARE MY FAVORITE!❤🖤❤

We need more .exe content this stuff is gold

Ryan... My guy... When knuckles is on a wall... Just hold up or down to climb... I love u man... But it's just one of those brain fart moments I have to call out... Thank you for your entertainment...

Here’s the high here’s the flight now let’s fight 8 bit Ryan got bars 😂😂🔥

Perfect time to watch (it's currently 1 AM in the morning as of I'm writing this)

I love Sonic.exe bro. It’s such a distinct yet large collection of games and art, it’s how I found Ryan.

Nice job, you only missed out on secret levels, but still, great gameplay!

8:15 _you gotta keep it going, Keep tiptoeing. Through the fire and flames and the pain of knowing. Through all the doubts gotta keep on going, gotta keep that spark, gotta keep on glowing_

I think Ryan read my mind, I was watching Sonic horror comic stuff today (Meow the Hedgehog) and this video came up 😮🤯

3:35 RYAN YOU SUNUVABISH

Good job bro. You actually got tails to fly.🎉

i recommend u playing sonic.exe spirits of hell and sonic.exe nightmare beginning, because these two games are one if not one OF THE BEST sonic.exe games ive seen and i want u to get the all the endings if u can ryan, and i really wanna see more of u playing creepy pasta of sonic.exe in the near future, anyway have a way past cool day ryan!, love ur vids bro

Gotta love it when Ryan uploads 😔🙏🏽

Yoooo I still think it would be cool for u to play Nine Sols the game is super cool!!! Also love ur vids rarely ever miss a video. ❤

Hey nice, I love watching .exe games, they get so interesting 😃

That caught me off guard 3:36

I'm more mad about the fact that he didn't know how to FLY as Tails.

dammit Ryan, that foxy jump scare actually got me😂

You should also try sonic.exe the spirits of hell round 1! And nice video, i love Sonic.exe games!

Another banger by our favourite bri'ish tea drinker, fnf player (that needs to finish the mario madness v2 mod),and horror game enthusiast

I'd love to see more of sonic EXE's they seem kinda fun

Ryan liked my last story, so I'm gonna write a remake of it, about how the community of THE 8-BIT NATION tried to make him dance Lol, I love this one, also a quote to Ryan that I learnt the hard way - ‘ *If all else fails, grab the rubber ducky and bail yourself out* .’ - A wise man XD And without further ado, here is the story of how the 8-Bit Kingdom tried to make Ryan dance 💀 - *In the illustrious realm of the 8-Bit Nation, where the art of dance was revered above all else, ruled a King known as 8-Bit Ryan, affectionately known as Ryan by his people. His presence atop his throne often left the citizens longing for a glimpse of his joyful movements. They believed that if they could coax the King into dancing, his infectious enthusiasm would inspire joy throughout the kingdom, bringing about a harmonious celebration of movement and rhythm. Months before The Dance Extravaganza, the citizens of the 8-Bit Nation began preparations for the grand event. Streets were adorned with colorful banners and streamers, fluttering in the gentle breeze. Artisans crafted elaborate decorations, transforming the cityscape into a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures. Every corner of the realm was infused with an air of excitement and anticipation. As the day of the festival drew near, performers from far and wide flocked to the 8-Bit Nation, eager to showcase their talents in the hopes of eliciting a reaction from the King. Jesters and acrobats honed their routines, comedians perfected their jokes, and musicians composed melodies that echoed through the streets. On the day of The Dance Extravaganza, the entire kingdom buzzed with energy as citizens gathered in the town square, eager to witness the spectacle unfold. The stage was set with elaborate props and dazzling lights, casting a magical glow over the festivities. Atop his throne, 8-Bit Ryan was carried onto the podium overlooking his kingdom with an interested and inquisitive glance. His subjects watched with bated breath as the first performers took to the stage, their hearts filled with hope and anticipation. The festival began with a parade of dancers, each troupe showcasing their unique style and flair. From classical ballet to energetic street dance, every genre was represented as performers twirled and leaped with grace and precision. Yet, despite the mesmerizing performances, Ryan remained seated upon his throne, his expression unchanged. The citizens watched with a mixture of disappointment and determination, refusing to let their spirits be dampened by the King's stoicism. As the day wore on, various attempts were made to capture the King's interest. Musicians played lively tunes, magicians performed dazzling tricks, and artists painted colorful murals depicting scenes of joy and celebration. But still, Ryan remained unmoved, his gaze fixed ahead with unwavering resolve. The citizens of the 8-Bit Nation refused to admit defeat, rallying together with renewed determination to find a way to make their King dance. With one final stand of hope, desperate to give their King the time of his life, the citizens pushed forward, determined to find the perfect rhythm that would stir Ryan's soul. As the event progressed, a group of innovative inventors unveiled their latest creation: The Danc-a-tron 2.0. This state-of-the-art device was designed to analyze the King's movements and preferences, generating a bespoke playlist of tunes guaranteed to get his feet tapping. With anticipation mounting, the Danc-a-tron 2.0 sprang to life, filling the air with an irresistible medley of beats and melodies. Dancers of all styles took to the stage, their movements synchronized to the pulsating rhythm of the music. Yet, to the dismay of the onlookers, Ryan remained unmoved, his demeanor unchanged. The citizens watched in disappointment as their most ambitious invention failed to achieve its intended purpose. Refusing to admit defeat, the people of the 8-Bit Nation rallied together, determined to find another way to make their King dance. Drawing inspiration from their diverse cultural backgrounds, they began to craft a symphony of sounds that blended seamlessly together, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of music that transcended language and genre, blending the machine into a whirlwind of all the genres of music, put together. They called it the Symphonic Radiance! With each new composition, the citizens poured their hearts and souls into their music, infusing it with the passion and energy that defined their beloved nation. And finally, as the sun began to set on the horizon, a magical melody filled the air, its infectious rhythm impossible to resist. In that moment, the crowd gasped in awe as 8-Bit Ryan's foot started slowly tapping against the ivory floor, until his head started to leisurely sway to the music, as his face became a bubbly and enigmatic canvas, painted by the people of the Nation, and so, with utmost cries and cheers of joy, the once stagnant and stern overlooker 8-Bit Ryan rose from his throne, his movements vigorous, yet admirable as he joined his subjects on the dance floor. Together, they swayed and twirled in perfect harmony, celebrating the joy of music and movement. And so, in the 8-Bit Nation, it was not the sophisticated inventions or elaborate performances that succeeded in making their King dance. It was the heartfelt expression of unity and creativity that touched his soul, proving that the power of dance could bring even the most steadfast ruler to his feet* . And that's it lol, hope you enjoyed it and that it brought a smile to all of your faces! Feel free to use this for your essays, beauteous as I like to say, just be wary when you get to the end of the story, since the sheer amount of words may just make you faint without you knowing it. *Another one bites the dust* lmao XD 💀💀💀💀

You should try Sonic.exe game called "Spirits of Hell". Basically its like sonic.exe game WITH a (at very least) bit more story. Quick edit: forgot to mention that in Spirits of Hell you CAN save Tails, knuckles and eggman.

13:34 knuckles just ascended for a second there. 20:32 He also got pocket sanded by crackhead sonic.

I was waiting for this type of Horror game .exe Finally Sonic with his comeback. Thanks for playing and sharing the goosebumps

YOOO THX FOR PLAYING MY FRIENDS GAME!!!

Everytime he got electrocuted as Robotnick, i kept dying of laughter 💀

Your intros are so weird I Love It!!!!

The way he climbs as Knuckles was driving me crazy, you just walk forward or backwards to climb up and down lol

With this amount of quality this could make a good regular sonic fangame

23:52 this had me dying from laughter, the combo of zaps

A very good recreation of the classic Creepypasta

this used to terrify me as a kid and it's thrilling to see it now. 😂

Hell yeah! My dude Exe is back🔥🔥🔥🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

When I played this myself for the first time I was so focused at the first Dr Robotnic part that I forgot it was a horror game

I was on the edge of my seat during the eggman levels, hoping you didn't die 😮

3:36 Almost screamed. Thx.

I do think that it would be so awesome if Ryan played "The Spirits of Hell" Sonic.exe story so he can actually save the characters

I was in dire need of a horror video, thank you Ryan for making me afraid of fictional things instead of the real horror of college.

You definitly should check out the Sonic.exe one last round. It's amazing.

dang, seeing him come back to exe games has me really excited.😁

Seeing tails and knuckles are fighting with sonic.exe 2011 and lord x was a cool Easter egg right there

Ryan, Idk if you'll see this, but "Spirits of Hell" is a good sonic.exe game that came out a long time ago. I haven't seen much of it, but if you're looking for another Sonic.exe game, then this one is one you should at least take a look at.

“I got that EXE in me “I don’t know if that is zesty or weird I don’t know but yayayay Ryan🎉🎉
