Developed by ''Lord Kooner'', '''[[https://gamejolt.com/games/sonicexedsr/732495 Sonic.EXE: Dark Souls Remake]]''' is a remaster of the original ''Sonic.EXE Dark Souls'' game, made in the style of ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles''.
The general plot is that Exezar, a demon who had been imprisoned in hell with two allies, Oxiel the Eye Being and Knight Avares, was assigned to seek a way out for all of them, which, of course, needed the DemonicPossession of a mortal to cross through and acquire the Master Emerald. Sonic, unfortunately enough, ended out becoming prey to this, and all that happens from there is determined by whether or not the heroes survive Exezar and Oxiel's assaults across Angel Island.
