The Evolution of Sonic.exe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- I am a firm believer in the fact that the Sonic.exe formula has a ton of potential. I have wanted for years for Sonic.exe to have someone create a better story and game from the character. This is that story. Sonic EYX is the final form of the exe game.

For as important as Sonic.Exe is to the history of creepypastas, its hard to deny the original just isn't that good so I'm happy people have taken what was a pretty neat concept and worked it into something geniunely unnerving
Sonic exe definitely feels like a product of its time. The new stuff has been pretty good so far.
You know of one last round? It is like one more time but it has multiple deaths and so far it is only in demo
It’s hard to but imma try
There is nothing these devs can do to make Sonic The Hedgehog™ scary
If I was the creator of sonic.exe I'd take solace in the fact I was the one who kickstarted an entire genre of not only creepypastas but full-blown games.
The creator of EYX has released spritework and concepts for the characters, as their "dead" forms. The tails seen near the start with "Go Back" is the dead version that is "official".
Most of the other ones are probably just references. Or maybe it is multiple lives of Tails that have died, which would fit with Knuckles being mad about dying repeatedly.
And that is ever expanding
Well that’s terrifying
Where can I find these?
I like how Knuckles of all characters is the only one who is truly aware of what's going on. Eggman and Metal seem to know that something is very wrong but have no idea just how bad things really are.
Well, hey, being an emerald guardian has its perks
It's like lucid vs semi-lucid dreaming.
Which is weird since knuckles is the least intelligent character in sonic.
He may be least intelligent but he isn't dumb. Also knuckles is right about us, I'm so sick of sonic.exe, it's getting super annoying.
@@theepic1944 knuckles isn't stupid. hes incredibly naive due to his solitary lifestyle.
Something I find funny about EYX is that sonic has only one big eye which is a mutation that usually happens when there's a lack of sonichedgehog protein during the developement of the foetus.
that sounds like a load of barnacles

@@NeedyBoBeedy See, your problem was you underestimated how goofy real life is.
What boggles my mind is how unapologetically aggressive this rom hack is. It just completely bum rushes you every chances it gets with some form of visual or audio stimuli. The way it has Sonic just peer across the level only for Eggman to just instantly show up laughing and Metal Sonic just shoves you completely across the map or how Tails when seeing EYX in that hell cave, all the little dude had time to do was look away and position himself to run only to have his skull toasted. I'm just so used to EXE games being so passive with their scares and nothing really being in your face so when I see an EXE/Creepypasta game actively trying to scream in your face constantly in rapid bum rush succession I'm actually put off in a good way. I really hope EYX drops an update soon. It's been long enough.
I think the rapid pace helps with making the game feel directed towards you. While in most EXE games the pace is slow and tense to make it seem like the monster is toying with the characters, here it seems like EYX is in a power struggle with the player as you try to escape and stay in the normal world while EYX attacks at every opportunity and intervenes with the original, happier game itself to torment you further.
Thing about EXE is that it feels like it's anger is directed towards the characters and the then the player towards the end. EYX feels like it's not just angry, but it HATES... You, it doesn't want you here and it wants you to feel as unwelcome in it's sickly abode as it possibly can
I've found EYX more scary than the OG Exe or others like Lord X.
EYX genuinely seems like something different, something unstoppable and the worst part is that the characters are aware you're watching them go through all this pain from this demonic entity that can screw with the actual code and literal world of Sonic.
I just wonder what happens next. Knuckles, Tails, and eggman are all dead and now I'm pretty sure Ray has died too...Who else is next in the carnage?
Bro Your Profile 💀💀💀
UHHH WHY DOES THIS HAVE 666 LIKES??? THAT'S REALLY CREEPY
Fun fact: During that scene where it slides to where Sonic is looking, there can be other characters instead of Tails that appear.
its amy
EXE is probably my favourite example of "Just because its bad doesn't mean the idea wasn't good"
with creative media I like to believe anything can work if executed well.
This and Sonic PC Port show just how much potential the idea of sonic.exe has
I think PC PORT was the one who started it all and got the .exe community to get a massive resurgence in popularity, once being a sonic.exe fangame most like the original game, is now turning into a full fledged game with lots of love poured into it, and i cannot wait to see the final result!
Ah UA-cam... Because of it, blurs are mandatory if you don't want to be hit by the Age Restricted and demonetization hammers... Which is a shame since I wouldn't mind seeing the horror while Sacrow talks in his usually calm, yet chilling voice.
UA-cam hit me immediately with the yellow one and I had to blur it sadly.
Its for the better because the graphic here is too much for me to handle
@@Blueflag04get a better stomach
On the Green Hill one, the thing that kills Tails is Cynffonau, the other half of EYX. While EYX himself looks like Sonic, Cyn takes the form of Tails, and it is possible that he's the one who convinced Knuckles.
timestamp please
@@WillieJrTheBest Around... 16:52 - 16:53 or so? Pause just a tad bit after the 1 disappears and you can catch the sprite before the screen goes inverted colors
I remember being young enough to actually be scared by Sonic.exe, simpler times.
Honestly the second game is a really interesting concept of .exe games and really does improve and deconstruct the concepts really well
Am I the only one who realized that that weird character used as the level's name at 23:22 kinda looks like .EXE (or EYX ?) carrying a dead Tails' body ?
It's crazy how much detail was put into Sonic.EYX. I feel like I learn more and more obscure secrets about it each time I watch it being played through. Can't wait for part 2.
No I realised that too
Weird how not a lot of people notice that
@@turbotyler2382 I know
The fact that it's 2023 and this video came in 2022 and its 5 November
I'm sorry 6 November
The character in the foreground after sonic looks over at the pod before getting attacked by metal sonic is randomly decided between ray, tails and amy.
Tails
And olso knuckles
I love creepy games that actually fuck with your PC (or pretend to) and trick you into thinking you downloaded a virus.
The demonic Sonic and Tails actually have names in the EYX lore and are known as Draenog and Cynffonnau (Welsh for Hedgehog and Tails, respectively). They are the same entity (EYX) split into two, the Tails with his head burnt is the real one, you play as Cynffonnau in Green Hill Zone.
What the fuck that's insane
i wonder why they chose Welsh
because welsh is a extremely weird language@@thekitcat_447
Editable ROM is surprisingly deep, I'm curious as to how far it will go.
As for comparing it to MARIO and Personalized Mario 64, another fantastic one is 'The. A Super Mario World rom hack that breaks the fourth wall in a unique way, has several endings, unnerving visuals (maybe not as much as EYX, but still impressive for working on an actual SNES)... not to mention the seemingly endless dialogue boxes the game gives you, and the fact that it will MODIFY itself as you play, tracking what you do, and even mocking you in some spots.
I'd love it if you'd cover this hack, as pretty much every instance of it being covered only gets one ending then quits, thinking that the game only loops after that.
I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@Sacrow I will say, 2 of the endings (one nested inside the other) are VERY cryptic on how to find. If you do make a video on it, I recommend either looking for a forum about it, or searching some of the comments in the SMWCentral page. If you want spoiler free stuff, I could probably give hints?
I honestly didn't expect you to respond, a lot of channels around your size tend to ignore or not respond to most comments, so seeing you interact with fans is pretty sweet! I've been enjoying your videos a lot, and the more recent ones have given me nostalgia for some of those classic internet horror stories.
@@Sacrow It's also known as The Coronation Day, which I believe it was renamed from ('the) to eliminate the ambiguity
Im so glad to find someone talking about 'The. !
Actually the body that EYX stands over before killing tails belongs to Fang the Sniper
True
what a banger, good work!

One thing to point out about Sally.exe, it's straight up plagiarism of a Sonic creepypasta video from 2011, the original couldn't be found because the channel was shut down. But the levels of Sally.exe came from the first 3 levels of the Sonic video with a few minor differences.
My favorite moment of Sonic.EYX is probably Eggman's death, giving you those small crumbs of a normal Sonic before EYX comes in out of nowhere and messes everything up. It's also a cool moment of foreshadowing from earlier in the level, with EYX preying from the bushes, waiting for its chance to strike. That, plus the Eggman sprites after his head is removed giving off some analog horror vibes (like something you'd see in something like Mandela Catalog) also makes the scene more memorable in my eyes
I think that another version of the .exe concept that isn't really talked about enough is the Nightmare series by Jaizkoys (I might've mixed up the i and y there but I'm not sure). Those games all have so many endings, a decently well-told story, and so many different elements in the gameplay. Continued Nightmare: Eye of Three is the one I watched the most playthroughs of when I was still going through my Sonic.exe phase, but all of the games, even the first version of Nightmare Beginning that's honestly kinda barebones compared to the rest, are actually pretty decent games on their own, even aside from the creepypasta elements. They don't rely as much on jumpscares where they don't feel necessary, and the ways that the different endings are achieved actually make a lot of sense
The nightmare series is awesome
Agreed they tell their own story really well
What I think would make EYX better is if you force close the game with ALT + F4 right when ray says "player Save Me", When You open the game again, you get jumpscared by EYX while he says "WHY DID YOU LET MY PREY ESCAPE" and then crashes and deletes the game.
Would be a pretty cool detail. But let’s just say, it didn’t crash and delete the game. This could mean some “Pacifist” or, “savior” path where you do the exact same thing and when everyone’s saved. He does exactly “WHY DID YOU LET MY PRAY ESCAPE?”
@@Benji-dh5tq good idea!
@@TFFESAnd if you redownload the game, eyx will be like no,no,no, not again and then crashes and deletes itself, then if you redownload it again eyx will be like, fine I’ll play this game again and it’ll be much harder to save them.
This new Sonic.EXE game is interesting, definitely reminds me of the MARIO creepypasta…
Same.
Knuckles wording is like saying "this is only a game for you, right?" Like dude that gave me the chills
He tries mostly to guilt trip you in a way
I remember Sonic.exe legitimately scaring me back when I was a wee boy, mainly thanks this being one of the few gaming creepypasta to have an actual fan game accompanied with it. Then a youtuber called YuriofWind came out of the blue, tore this story apart in the most hilarious of ways, and made me see this story as a joke ever since.
I remember being scared back in the game by youtubers playing it adding a false backstory saying their friend gave them a sonic copy and acted strangely made 9 year old me think this was real
15:41 The symbol looks like a fast-forward/rewind button on a VCR, at least to me. It's a nice additional taunt, maybe Sonic's way of saying that the player was too scared to see the rest of the game, so they died. Platforming-wise, the game is easy, and Sonic knows this and figures that the player died on purpose. (Sorry for the great wall of text)
I mean based on the day it came out, it was actually a really good version of the creepy pasta! I mean people have their hopes a bit higher nowadays but it always stays close to my heart
it seems that the one eyed sonic and the red eyed sonic are two entities, one eyed being the one behind the corruption, some demon trying to look like sonic, and the red eyed one being the corrupted version of the real sonic
As someone who hasn't followed the sonic.exe community in about 10 years. To see there are games still being made makes me smile, it's cool to see it getting some decent fan games for a change
Every day I always hope mutahar would come back to play some of these newer exe game 😞
I know sad days, wish he came back to these
I have been waiting for Mutahar to play Sonic.eyx for soo long now.
This makes sonic.exe really scary and not just the normal sonic with blood red eyes
There is something that is pretty creepy too that I think is also great with EYX known as No More Innocene however he doesn't have a actual Fan Game and instead a Mod to FNF and it was lovely as the design and animation is great for this guy as he actually does stuff with your PC just make sure any work you did are saved because while it's jokeware if you lose he will shut down your PC
Bonus points if you show this to someone who hasn't seen sonic.exe before and cares for the sonic characters
The work around Sonic exe are usually pretty good, can't wait to see where the community take he.
Truth be told, hes in my top four or five exes.
Lord x is my favorite
Fatal error is my second
No more innocence is my third
Eyx is my fourth
And Needlemouse is my fifth
Sarah isn’t an EXE
I prefer EYX over all tbh, though Fatal Error is pretty cool
@@sboy2044shes grouped into the exes so she counts unless jojo decides to explicitly say she isnt.
@@Issengan They said that she isn’t
@@sboy2044 ah, well in that case she wouldnt be. i think fatals no longer an exe either but theyre still sonic based creepypastas, albeit fatal is getting his own extended stuff
Ahhh god...I still remember the first time I saw the first version of Sonic.exe,then I've seen one of the most creepiest thing in my entire life,that creepy smile that Sonic does in the end of the game shattered me for 2 weeks lol,with the "IM GOD" message.
I love the ending screen of the game.
The Doom ending background (the most epic part), the sprites crudely edited.
Its beautiful
Me personally, my favorite EXE game is Sonic.EXE: Spirits of Hell. It feels like an actual game, yknow? There's story, there's platforming, hell; You even get a chance to save the victims and rewrite the story, it's amazing
I get why you censored the death screens, but at the very least you could've narrated what the blurred-out text was.
I'm pretty sure I'm the original post it was not blurred but UA-cam had stroked him for something so he had to blur it. He must have just forgot to narrate the text.
Hey, for future reference, the "eye" on EYX's chest is actually not markings or blood, their veins. Lets just say that EYX has an oversized heart.
Watched this video a few times and i seriously think you would enjoy Exe Spirits Of Hell, has a story, .exe has a character and all that kinda stuff that you want, i seriously think you should take a look at part 1, 2 and the unfinished dlc
16:53 - That's not Sonic that grabs you. That's actually Tails. According to lore of this game, there's this entity called EYX in the game, and it's split into two parts. The weird looking Sonic, and its Tails counterpart, which has gray fur, the same weird marks Sonic has, and lacerated arms, which gets you if you don't go to the left in time
24:04 - That wasn't Tails, that was Fang the Sniper
I know Sonic.EXE and Sally.EXE are mostly talked about, but one question that burns in my mind is, "What's the story with Rouge.EXE"
Well, you see. Rouge.EXE is about
@@skrungle215 ikr, i heard a reading of the pasta, feels like one big mind puzzle, but im just all out curious on how the game just popped out of that, or whatever lore there is to Rouge.EXE from the fan game itself
my five cents?
it’s just a ripoff of sally.exe lmao
exact same deaths, it’s just rouge walking through it like a museum
along with that godawful text/code prompt cliche.
This had me entertained the whole way through. I’m shocked you don’t have 100k subs by now
*You make me sick..." Damn knuckles wtf
Personally my favourite sonic.exe game will always be "nightmare beginning" it has many endings and has an actual boss fight
There is also a second game if anyone is interested called " sonic.exe continued nighmare"
I know you said that Sonic.EXE One Last Time was the best and realized the full potential of Sonic.EXE and I agree with that but only for the horror aspect as in my opinion the best version of the Sonic.EXE is a three part game called Sonic.EXE The Spirits of Hell (note part three is not out yet) as it actually has a story
No joke, that image of Sally use to freak me OUT as a kid! More so than both the Sonic images. But looking at it now, she just looks like an old grandma to me
I love when Sacrow post’s
I was around when the first Sonic.EXE was made. If my life was a movie or TV show, he would be my arch nemisis
Jaiz's sonic.exe games do the format really well but it gets a lot less scary because sometimes you actually know whats going on
Did sonic team ever notice this community? :P
They made a post on Twitter that included Sonic.exe once, I think it was around 2018
@@IamJustABee Pretty cool of them :P
I think it's important to remember that when Sonic.exe came out, a lot of creepypastas were around the same quality. It was shocking because it was new, as creepypastas haven't grown to the heights they're at now. Other have come along and expanded upon the idea, but none of this would have happened if the original never existed. the Wright Brothers built the first airplane to show it was possible. It wasn't a GOOD airplane, but it was the design that others would improve upon with their own touches to make it even greater. The original Sonic.exe did not age well, but it was the foundation for all of the better stuff down the line. And for that, i'm thankful. Personally, if I created something that inspired so many people to wanna make their own versions and improve upon it, I would feel so honored as this cycle is how art improves.
I love how he didn't even mention how it's impossible to replay the game on the same computer, and just ignored the entire jumpscare that happens when you reopen it trying to.
this gives me chills down my spine
There is a remake of the "Sonic.exe One more round" that is way better than the one in the video, and was made by the original creator.
It's called "Sonic.exe one last time" currently it's only a demo for tails and knuckles but It's really good.
I personally recommend it
Mr Pixel is constantly striving to make more Cronenberg style body horror with Sonic OMT
@@100purenacl3I can't wait for it although I will.
My canon for Sonic.Exe and its fangames is that after EXE kills everyone in og game then it moves to fangame meaning Sonic revived them to kill them again (thats why they're afraid, its cause they remember their deaths)
I like to think that the entity put the flash warning there in the world of the story, evil sonic may want to kill all his friends but he draws the line at ableism
I also felt like you should have addressed the first Sonic.exe game that had a good ending, nightmare beginnings
Ngl sonic.exe actually had me scared as a kid and I couldn't look at sonic without seeing the creepypasta sonic
I know I’m late, but the first game you were talking about has an INCREDIBLE new version called One Last Round, it adds a metal sonic part, and it’s got crazy kills
We need to convince Mutahar from SomeOrdinaryGamers to play Sonic.EYX and give out his opinions on the matter.
I think when it comes to SONIC.EXE games, it shows how powerless everyone is against Sonic
Now with Sonic OMT out, it could be amazing for you to come back
this has to be sort of growing up thing as i did grew up with sonic but was already in my 20s when the creepypasta popped up and sonic.exe has never managed to make me emote in any particular manner. would love to see some very restricted and subdued slowburner romhack that doesn't use junpscares or bloody sprites but just slowly turns things wrong or glitchy with extreme restraint, like cartridge tilted game that's just weird enough that it could almost pass up as legitimate thing
*About a month from the time I post this, someone made a Sonic.exe remaster which I recommend checking out, since it is a masterpiece, but it’s not for the faint of heart.*
Being?
I don’t know what its called. \_(._.)_/
@@_TRB_ Pretty sure he's talking about Sonic.exe 2011 since it's a remake of the original pasta, and this vid was released before it came out.
Fun fact: Those two sonics are easter eggs
Because of sonic eyx, in my exe game I'm gonna have fourth wall breaks on the NEXT LEVEL
If you like Sonic.EXE One More Time, then you'll love Sonic.EXE One Last Time. It has multiple deaths and changes even the One More Time formula. It's awesome.
The Sally jumpscare was fucking terrifying.
The most funny thing about .exe games are that, you can play them on a mac computer
4:10 FYI but I'm pretty sure Sally.exe creepypasta as a story wasn't written until the game came out; as both Sally and Sonic.exe games were made by My5TCrimson
I think one of the best, imo was continued nightmare. It really gave me chills when I was young, and it was extremely intresting back than.
Your into sounds like the intro to a creepypasta. "For as long as I can remember"
My favorite story based sonic. exe game HAS to be Spirits of hell (round 1 AND 2)
sonic.exe's eyes in that "I AM GOD" screen looks like cherries LMAO
I always hear a lot of hatred towards Sonic.EXE but I've never found the idea of an evil god-like Sonic cringy, I always thought it was a neat idea but was executed poorly. I'm glad I stumbled on this video that takes a unique and honest look at the series, definitely a breath of fresh air.
the first entry looked like a Sonic rom hack structured exactly like the fan game but Tails and Knuckles can use their abilities.
Ik this isn’t related to this vid but wasn’t there like an sonic exe game where you have to make choices for you to survive. That was a good exe game.
it's odd to not see the second wave .exe games considered, those being along the likes of Nightmare Beginning and Spirits of Hell.
Since they wanted to bring something new to the table by having actual gameplay added in and multiple endings to explore in order to incentive getting a good one through replayability, that this demon is beatable.
Of course eventually they flooded the scene and due to most of them having insane difficulty and also not being scary for most people when they weren't trying to be, people eventually went back to the basics and focused on exe games similar to the original sonic.exe.
Nothing will ever take me out of a creepy feeling than fucking Kefka's laugh from anyone else. Shit goes from mildly creepy to hilariously edgy.
Mind a fact, that ONE MORE ROUND Uptade transformed into a nightmare called "ONE.LAST.ROUND."
people may not of known but thats actually tails at 16:53
that sonic rom hack is the only one where there is a tails (that looks similar to the one eye sonic) and he is the one that jumps you a lot
What I hear by Knuckles Makes me Feel Bad and Creepy too That way his eyes Bleed And Im not sure if hes Talking to everyone or One Person Or Maybe Sonic Haters Or Me Im not sure im glad Its Not Real I feel Bad For The Heros who Suffers the Killing by the Exe I hope I Can Help them Beat this Monster Please Don't do this to me Knuckles I love you I will never Let them suffer
Bro this was the most scariest exe ive ever seen
14:50 heck naw the sound when his eye gets smaller sent 100 shivers down my spine
Damn straight. I sure would like to find that sound effect.
mad that you didn't talk about the best SOnic.exe, SUNKY.MPEG
Everybody says that knuckles is dumb and not intelligent but for a non intelligent guy, he knows what Exe's planning and he's strong so don't judge him too much.
Sacrow: the game pink is in the description.
Description: no link
If Sonic exe never existed, the creepypasta universe wouldn’t be the same.
This video is ridiculously dark at some points
Yes, the games can be pretty dark.
@@Sacrow ah no, i meant visually, unless thats what you mean too
There is a pretty cool Roblox Sonic.exw multiplayer that got attention by an exe fan game group which came together to make a 2d remake with 6 survivors 4 exes and 18 maps to select from
I watched closely during the eggman death scene, EYX not only rips egg man’s head of but he also tears his hand straight through egg man’s chest
Sonic.exe started as kinda creepy but mediocre.
Then it went though a cringe phase that most creepypastas are in now.
And now its mostly moved away from the cringe, and evolved to be actually creepy.
Hey I just wanted to let you know cuz it didn't seem like any one told you the character that you kept referring to as tails was actually a whole different character called Miles.
I wonder if there will ever be an official character inspired by Sonic.exe. We already have a surprising number of evil Sonic robots in canon, Archie had mirror universe Sonic and Fleetway kind of did the concept of a murder hobo Sonic with its Super Sonic rendition
Closest thing so far is the currently unfinished X in Sonic Villains
Fun fact: Sally.exe is the combination of the "SONIC" chinelin creepypasta and sonic.exe
bro i’m soo confused. are you blameitonjorge or not? love the vids man keep it up
16:53 That isn't Sonic that grabs Tails.
