Free-to-play visual novel The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog has surpassed one million players. The game released on Steam late last month as an April Fool's joke, but funnily enough, has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews on the platform.
In fact, according to Sonic the Hedgehog Social Media Manager Katie Chrzanowski, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog became the #61 highest-rated Steam game ever--not bad for an April Fool's joke. The game isn't developed by the Sonic Team, but by the Sega Social Team, instead. It's actually the highest-rated Sonic game in the series on Steam when sorted by user reviews.
