0:14 Hill Act 1 3:36 Hide And Seek 5:22 You Can’t Run 6:54 Found You 8:29 … 11:41 Game Over 12:06 I AM GOD

im so glad the death sound affects are actually unique and not just earpiercing screams

12:26 this is honestly the coolest way they adapted that I am god thing,

I like how instead of just a scream, they used sound effects that sounds like theyre actually getting slaughtered

Right when Sonic was stretching his mouth to eat Dr. Robotnik, I got a Burger King commercial LMAO

Finally an actual good, creepy remake that stays true to the original and doesn't make EXE this edgy quirky OC like all other EXE games do, instead settling for a competent killer who seems to enjoy torturing the characters . They outdid themselves with this one

Tails' death portrait is brutal, if you didn't know any better you couldn't identify him on the spot

4:23 and the tails chase is actually very good, love how Sonic's lust for a kill is so intense and his face while he's gaining on tails just *chefs kiss*

I love how at 12:16, sonic style changes from pixel art to hyper realistic style, so it's like he's watching you no more from the game, so he can write "I am god" on the screen. Brillant. Easily my favorite part of the whole game.

Changing the death scenes to not only look more gruesome while doing less visually and focussing more on the audio of the characters slowly dying was incredible. - Severing Tails’ hamstrings then snapping his neck before cutting the video and continuing to make it sound like EXE brutally murders him is better than most of what I’ve seen. It’s much more simple yet much more effective. - Knuckles getting his jaw broken then his abdomen crushed, then cutting the video and letting you listen as he struggles to breathe, probably choking on his own blood. That’s terrifying. Looks much more scarier when Sonic.EXE isn’t some lovecraftian monster or weird amalgamation creature. He still looks and moves like Sonic might’ve been able to, but looks and acts different enough that it certainly couldn’t be him. That does change a bit with Eggman sadly but it’s not too over the top to warrant any complaints from me. Only thing that is missing now is the sonic secret level. And maybe removing the curtains from Eggman’s level too, they aren’t really necessary and kinda just get in the way

this just calls back the original sonic.exe from 2011 :]

Man, if THIS was the version that came out back in 2011, I would’ve been scarred for life. The original Sonic.EXE didn’t creep me out that much, aside from the “I Am God” screen, but this version just leaves me feeling uneasy and tense. Honestly creeped me out at times. That dead Knuckles portrait would’ve haunted my nightmares if I’d seen that shit in 2011.

Imagine that this version was the one that came out in 2013.

This is one of the few times a remake has tried to actually be faithful to the original creepypasta, and as someone who has read it and both of its sequels multiple times over, I want to take the time to nitpick this thing apart- mostly based on how accurate it is, but accuracy isn't all there is to something like this. This remake includes quite a few things from the original creepypasta that were never present in the original game adaptation by My5tCrimson, but also excludes many things that very same adaptation got right the first time. But despite this, it also brings a lot of new, impressive and unique things to the table- I can't say that it does that without interfering with the accuracy in question, however, but still, it's a welcome addition. The graphics are massively improved obviously and are near 1:1 with the actual Sonic games. Even the parallax scrolling is present. The title screen is very different from the original description, but in a good way. The laugh being similar but not exact to Kefka's laugh from Final Fantasy VI is something the original creepypasta actually did mention, so points for that. The hill at the very end of... well, Hill, is also back from the original creepypasta, but the "act 1" part of the title card is gone for some reason. The walking section goes on for a lot longer than before, but still not as long as it's supposed to be- not a negative thing, all things considered. 2 minutes is a good compromise between like 45 seconds and 5 whole minutes. The characters appropriately change expressions in line with the original creepypasta. The change from static to droning is interesting and fits quite better. The messages left by Sonic are changed for... no real reason, and it feels weird. I don't personally like it, but it's not that important in the end. The overhaul of Hide and Seek doesn't change anything significant, but it adds onto what's already there in quite a nice way. Having the chase scene in the forest where there was originally an autoscroll segment with Flying Battery bombing Sonic and Tails is a really nice addition, and turning the time over on its head is very clever. However, its presentation, although higher quality, is a downgrade from the original fangame- Sonic flashes in multiple poses across the screen, not just multiple poses in one spot. His head having three frames of twitching and nothing else makes it lose its unpredictable effect almost instantly. He is replicating Metal Sonic's pose, another part from the creepypasta it got right over the fangame, but his sprite still changes to make him look more manic and insane, which is a welcome addition. I have mixed feelings on the presentation of the messages. On one hand, having the messages just appear in complete silence is kind of chilling and more effective, on the other hand, it feels too serious for a game like this whereas having that weird screen fade sound effect from Sonic 1 followed by that overly demonic voice acting feels more campy and in-line with the nature of the story. This may just be a personal feeling of mine, but Sonic.EXE being more cliche and hard to take seriously adds to its charm. That being said, the actual gore audio in place of the generic scream from that one 1988 horror movie with added reverb does an absolutely fantastic job, the gruesome nature of the audio really nails what pixel art at the scale of in-game Sonic characters could never hope to achieve to the same level. It really does sound like torture, even if it loses a little more of that goofy charm the original had- however, although Sonic is definitely snapping Tails's neck, it looks like he's slapping him across the face and I like that. It's funnier. The bitcrush effect isn't neccessary but it does make it sound slightly better for some reason. The same can be said about the mangled corpses on the data select screen. The changes made to You Can't Run are absolutely fantastic. This level is just perfection. Using the lightning in Stardust Speedway Bad Future's background as a means to alter the Scrap Brain foreground instead of using regular static is absolutely genius, and the actual alteration looks infinitely better than the spilled ketchup the fangame did. It looks more like rust, which fits better, and is very well designed. Blink and you'll miss it moment here, too, you can see the shape of Sonic's head *in the clouds,* which while pointless is again, just a really nice improvement. And the FOUND YOU scene- really tiny nitpick here but just personal preference really, the random assortment of fonts chosen for the text in the original fangame feels far too iconic to change, but that's definitely just me refusing to take off my rose-tinted glasses- but OH MY GOD, this segment is perfect. The goofy halloweeny music combined with Sonic doing these goofy taunts and wacky poses, it's just indescribably well done I cannot put it into words. It's well animated, and you can even see his eyes spiraling around like a cartoon character during the lightning flashes. It's perfectly wacky yet also maintains respect for the original creepypasta's description, having Sonic still obscured in that strange smoke filter. And then there's him just kicking Knuckles in the face, which is funnier than it has any right to be. Easily the most well done part of the entire remake. And then there's ... ... If the level itself wasn't so boring, maybe more could've been done with it, but as it stands it was still improved as well as it could be, easily second best. Firstly, wholly original assets! Just like the creepypasta explicitly outlined, and the fangame failed to deliver on. This remake executes it flawlessly. Purple brick walls lined with torches, checker pattern floor, and even the curtains fixed to the top of the screen are FINALLY here. Not swaying every 12 seconds in a barely noticeable fashion so 0/10-- but for real, the tileset is fantastic, and it fits with the Classic Sonic aesthetic really well, it doesn't feel out of place- it'd fit right at home in Sonic 3. Having the stairs function as slopes is also far less jarring. As an added bonus, Robotnik has a sprite for sliding down slopes, and it's really funny for no reason, perfectly in line with that silly little run he does. Although some might complain about how this segment has been extended, be grateful because now we actually get to hear more than 10 seconds of that beautiful song playing in the background without just standing around doing nothing. The original fangame spent more time on the stupid reversed version when the segment with this song lasted 10, maybe 20 seconds before cutting to silence. Speaking of which, the portions of the segment- nothing but better executed versions of the fangame, though unfortunately they do retain that momentary flash of black instead of gradually transitioning to the next palette as they should. Then there's Sonic appearing, and Robotnik's reaction is great- that looks like a meme face, I'm not gonna lie. Sonic is pretty well done here too, the way his face stretches also evokes that "trying to be scary but coming off as silly" vibe that the original Sonic.EXE feels like it was always meant to have. Another thing taken straight from the creepypasta is the fact that it actually does go back to the data select screen after this- well okay, technically it's after the "I AM GOD" thing, but this is just better for flow in all honesty. It gives us a chance to see the mangled corpses of all three victims which is nice. And then there's the "I AM GOD" screen. Honestly the only thing it could've done better was use an actual realistic 3D model of the guy, but not everyone has the patience to figure out how to do that so it's understandable- barring that, it's literally just an improvement upon the original, and for once, finally, after a decade of absence, it includes the sudden jumpscare the creepypasta originally mentioned. FINALLY someone did it. That aside, the improvements made here are again, top notch. You can very very clearly see the inspiration taken from compugecko532's iconic take on the image, namely the head shape, quill positions, and mouth shape- and the cheshire cat/werehog teeth smile originally described is on perfect display here as well. I can't believe I'm saying this, but they even included the animal flesh stuck in his teeth as well. I also love how instead of being instantly hyperrealistic, it actually starts under the genesis filter but then reveals its true nature, feels a lot more effective that way. Though it kinda looks like he's looking downwards instead of at the screen, if that makes sense. And having him actually write out his little message on the screen itself instead of it just appearing is- it literally could not have been done better. There is absolutely nothing about that that could have been done in any better way. That should have been how it was from the beginning.

I like how in the Knuckles and Eggman levels, Sonic.exe attacked them after a time when they reached a certain trigger, rather than immediately after it was reached. It creates an atmosphere that the monster is really looking for you. The problem with many EXE games is that they are heavily scripted, and when you just stand still, nothing happens. Here, at least such moments are a little less

This immediately won me over with the characters actually changing facial expressions and having unique animations to show their fear. Especially Tails looking at the player and making frantic gestures, like he does in the actual story.

I gotta say, I REALLY like the additional sprite work done here. It definitely feels like a fully fleshed out project, even if it is such a short experience.

2:35 tails has a reason to be confused. they added slopes to a walking simulator

12:36 can we appreciate how good his new laugh is?

honestly, the sudden change of the green hill stage from nice and blooming (excluding the music of course) to unsettling as you encounter the dead animals works well, even in the original game, because no one was expecting it unless they read a creepypasta before playing. here it's even better since we can actually see tails' reaction when he sees the corpses. it is something that the original missed. you've done a great job on this remake

4:24 that is pretty scary looking.

This remake brings me back the trauma I had with Sonic.exe. The expressions of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik and of course the I Am God part is amazing. The way the game remplace your background for Sonic's face is good. Nice work

I totally love this new remake! Was a huge fan of Sonic.exe PC Port, so it makes sense that I would like this as well.

I like the remade sonic.exe sprites, makes him look like lord x which is kind of funny. Plus this scene 12:26 right there is the best way to adapt the "I AM GOD" message while breaking that little fourth wall honestly it's just soo cool this remake is mostly cool but a little spooky if you have a weak heart to it, the souls how they're shown to be dead now is honestly more nicer than the older 2011 fangame about the creepypasta

Everything about this game is LEAGUES beyond the original. Every victim is brought to their wits end before being finished off, the backgrounds are amazing, the tension isn't brought in by cheap loud noises, and the demon writing "I am God" ON YOUR SCREEN is a fantastic way to send it off. I wish this was the original. I genuinely do.

12:42 Powerful jumpscare

I love it, it adapts so much to the original but giving it a much, much, more polished quality than the original game, almost like an omt merged with pc port, good gameplay 👍

Admittedly the creepypasta itself was substandard, but the original game was nothing short of bone chilling and nerve wracking. This? This is that, but exponentially better. Cleaned up, looking great, and a lot more disturbing. Well done.

honestly, great recreation for an 2011 creepypasta with an fangame to make this possible, and ive played this right before these gameplays popped in youtube theres even a hill, in a hill

I remember the original gave me nightmares as a young kid but that’s just because we were young and out minds were less developed seemingly giving way to things we could never forget in our nightmares..specifically this!

Dude this is sick! Game itself is kinda basic but not lazy at 0:48 all and faithful to original. And GOD the .EXE art and dead corpses of the trio is SO WELL MADE! Great overall!

Even as a kid I found this pasta kinda silly. But the one thing that did mess with me was how in the original story the characters were described as so animated and expressive in their fear and repulsion. I always felt the OG game didn't accomplish this very well. This looks a lot more like I imagined it in my head.

Ok, I didn't know that I needed to see a Sonic.EXE remake until now. That's even better than the we had before

Finally, Hill Zone is now true to its name! It has an actual Hill! 10/10 remake!

This was a great remake!!! I loved how the characters emoted and Exes jumpscare at the, while predictable, was a great touch!

it’s really odd that something i used to be terrified of as a kid is now nostalgic, this remake is actually pretty unsettling, very well done

impressive stuff here! it for sure takes creative liberties here and there but hey, the original game adaptation did too. even if the original story is objectively terrible, i always find it nice to see love for my childhood nightmare in an era where many keep trying to replace him

The creepypasta is still bad, no way around it, but the execution of it in here is very commendable, to say the least, well done. The definitive way of experiencing this creepypasta

This remake of sonic exe is probably one of the best remakes out there

nostalgia at it's finest I miss the old EXE before the fnf craze

I remember when the original game freaked me out sorta as a kid. Nowadays it's really silly to me but it's nice to see some sort of remake.

This is how it looked like to me when the Creepypasta was made all those years back, man this truly brings back a lot of memories

Its a simple remake, but its very much definitive, the true creepypasta version but pumped up with better quality, good stuff!

The Game is Just Perfect Can't imagine how good will sonic PC PORT Will Be And You r awesome

Jumpscare Warning 12:07

the creators of this remake really cared about their job and made a good one. Proof? The small details, at 12:27 when Sonic.exe writes his iconic line after switching to a hyper realistic style, you can hear the noise of sliding fingers over glass, like if he’s literally on the other side of the screen watching you.

a huge round of applause, to the guy who cooked this tremendous remake. Son of a bitch, I didn't think the screamer at the end was going to be like that and I had planned it, but not that way. The tension that existed at each moment was horrible. Something that I think I would have liked is that when he writes 'on the screen' I am god. I would have been encouraged. But still anyway, I can't wait for people like LuigiKid or Markiplier to play this.

This is a solid remake. Love the animation changes.

Gave me flashbacks from 2013, so nostalgic.

Wow, this was a really well done remake! The overall presentation and coding is leaps better than the original project from back in the day. Well done! ....Now I wonder if someone would be up to remastering Super Robotnik Land from Dezzan. an absolute classic that deserves love.

I love tails looked at you thinking you did it

I was scared of the original game back in like 2012-2013 (to be fair I was like 9-10 at the time), but a couple years later I grew out of being scared of it because in the end, it was really just some cheap ROM hack with poorly edited gore and "blood" that looked more like someone spilled ketchup everywhere. However, this version actually managed to send chills down my spine, if the original game had been this way in 2012 I would've been scarred for life. The dead tails portrait actually unnerved me, if I had seen that in 2012-2013, god knows how many sleepless nights I would've had. Great job to everyone who worked on this!

Actually real scary awesome remake. The animations are clean and the filters keeps the game immersed. Good ideas placed in many scenes and details on characters have been perfectly added. Honestly in a video game stand point it is : Linear gameplay but it doesn't matter, It's a story based game and it is corresponding to its original material. It's a 10/10 for me.

The “I Am God” Part literally scared the living shit outta me, I couldn’t sleep after that night lmao, but I gotta say they definitely redeemed Sonic.Exe with this Remake

The idea of changing the wallpaper and painting on the screen is very spot on! That's freaking

I really like how sonic.exe isn’t presented as some deviantart-tier but edgelord, but more as a sinister and benevolent demon. Not in the way that he’s absolutely horrifying, but that he messes with the characters before finishing them off and making sure they know they’re powerless against him, like he’s playing with his food. I think the most obvious sign of this is the scene where knuckles fights him, and sonic is mocking him before eventually just pushing him to the ground, ramming in the fact that nothing knuckles can do will affect him and he can effortlessly take everything away from him with a mere shove. I don’t think he’s particularly scary, despite the fact he is scarier than the original sonic.exe, but he is definitely more intriguing and threatening as an antagonist.

I adore the fighting in the dark part, so sick

Now this, my friend, was a Pasta worth reviving!

Bro this gave me the chills from back then in 2011 or 2010

Loving the animations and the facial expressions. Tails has the best of these.

I like how the formula from the original stays the same, but the horror and effort in spritework makes all the difference.

Rip Tails. 😢 That death was actually well done, especially that audio.

this really goes back to the og exe. I love it.

I think this is by far the best Remake of Sonic .exe. Major props to those who have worked on this.

The last jumpscare got me that my aunt was actually concerned what spooked me.

4:26 My brain: ROUGHER THAN THE REST OF THEM

I’ve never played a sonic game, so I’m not sure what exactly is going on. But I really enjoy the creepy music (which is the aspect that unsettles me the most!)& general unease. If I saw this when I was younger I would’ve been terrified! Great animation, please make more. I LOVE this this weirdcore type videos

I am genuinely amazed by this. Whoever made this deserves an Award. You took the bad original creepypasta, and put a spin on it that made it actually genuinely creepy. The thing i loved the most was, instead of the annoying original scream, the death sounds are different depending on character and made to be more realistic death noises. That genuinely made my heart pound. I would say add a noise to eggmans death. Like chewing sounds or bones cracking under large teeth. Maybe slurping, since Sonic is eating him whole. That would have made his death more scary. Also make the last eggman stairway less long.. theres a limit to the endless spooky stairway trope.

11:28 Eggman: wheres my audio death sound thing- Sonic.exe: .....

I am glad this doesn't use Kafka's laugh anymore. Having known FF IV before Sonic.exe it always felt weird to hear. In general I like that they do not use music and sounds of other games

Sonic fr needs a chill pill

the animations and the sprites are so better than the original version

Sonic: GAME OVER... Eggman: *"Breaks out the Glock"* Indeed.

I love how it stays faithful to the original while making it new though there are some secrets in the game it won’t change their fates..idk who got it worst tails who’s seemingly has no skin knuckles who looks like a crack addict or eggman who looks like a snowman

I found it pretty unnerving, that just adding that little bit of animation of Sonic beating up each character really, really, makes him a much more demented character than the screen simply fading to static. Seriously. This is what the remake does the best.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of sonic. Exe. Now because of Friday night funkin' I like it even more

The Tails neck snap was so smooth it made me jump

Since the title says it's the "offical remake", does that mean Crimsom did all of this? If that's true then holy shit i'm flabbergasted in the way how he evolved a game where you literally walk to the right into a pretty good masterpiece! That's impressiv!!

When I was 5, I used to have nightmares about Sonic.EXE, as if he would break into my house and kill me or just haunt me. And honestly, I'm glad I found Sonic.EXE. This remake is one of my favorites, and I love the way that Sonic.EXE was shown here! 10/10 Remake.

The first time Sonic.EXE did the "i am god" thing i legit thought my computer had malware, but then i remembered "hey this is a game from gamejolt, the game would be deleted if it was really malware."

Dang if this is official this is by far the best it got some of the things from the story like when sonic jumps on the tails stabs knuckles and eats egg man i like hide and seek like it’s godlike but not as good as ycrs stage like there’s lightning and you can’t see anything and the stages sick polished ground … was sick I like the curtains they got that from the story and the jumpscare I like the face that he writes I am god on the screen like it’s a window and lunges at you with a scream so cool by far the best sonic.exe fan game props to the guys who makes it this deserves a 11/10 the jumpscare even scared me

For anyone who is curious on what Easter Eggs and Secrets are in this game, here’s a link to that video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8Wna9OHm6zcnHk.html

damn this is really well made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its like youre actually playing it!!!!

Well done 👍 actually got a jump out of me .

Aight, the game actuay became so much better with all the visuas and atmosphere, it's just sweet even though not as scary anymore... Watched it last time when i was a id and i was ooing at this video now and just laughing on how much it improved and how goofy i was being scared of it

12:14 he got told to “get real”

12:26 this is by far the best and true way to play Sonic.EXE, I really love how he’s actually hyper realistic this time around and that he writes the “I AM GOD.” Himself. His new laugh is also so cool, it’s very unique to him now rather than just the Kefka laugh we’re all used to. I honestly love how everything is unique now even to the music. Like the Knuckles segment doesn’t use “My Heaven.” From Silent Hill and actually uses its own original music. Everything about this remake is just so much more better than its original counterpart.

The glory days of creepypastas. This was when we weren't so critical on these stories. Years ago, I barely even had any courage to even sleep with my bedroom windows open (I'm on the 2nd floor). It was because I was sure this demon was watching me when I look out the window. The red dots I mistaken his eyes for were just from a satellite tower. This was when exe and Jeff the killer and other creepypastas were, in our minds, the scariest things to exist. It wasn't just these youtubers who had their best times. In fact, they were part of the success the golden years had all around. As I write this, I am 17. You could guess what my childhood was in a nutshell. Edit: even though I watched youtubers play this game and listened to narrators read this story, I STILL felt it necessary to have my back up against the kitchen fridge on the first floor. That kinda fear can only be done by perfecting familiar montserous faces like this. I half miss being afraid of something that isn't real, and half expect these actions to happen.

I would change Sonic's Laught, sounds kinda goofy

It looks sick as a game on its own, sprites, sound design, very good, but personally for me it doesn't catch the ''this wasn't supposed to happen'' aspect the original tried to convey, the assets and scenarios are just too good for it.

that's the first time one of these put the fear I had of sonic.exe back into me, there has never been a moment of my teenage years that I was this scared of sonic.exe, it traumatized me as a 7 year old, I thought the classic drowning music was a custom thing for the og, that's how scared I was, I heard it in sonic adventure, I got scared as shit, this is actually a time like that, the end made me jump, and the new sprites and overall cursedness made this better, I cannot explain how much better it is

I like the detail that the character select background gets darker and darker as they die.

This is Like OG Sonic.exe V2

4:45 wait, what happened there? Did he like twist his ankle

I like how The creator understood what made game scary and decided to make horrible creepypasta into a masterpiece.

Que nostalgia del sonic.exe del 2011. Que buen remake, de verdad que me hizo recordar el miedo que me daba este Sonic en aquellos lejanos años....

Oh wow This is actually terrifying and visually amazing other than the cringe and cliche first one

Scary or not, these fan games for EXE really show some impressive sprite work.

Sonic taunting knuckles was so on brand

That Knuckles dead icon in the menu gives me some Crash Bandicoot vibes
