* BaitAndSwitch: When Tails first encounters "Sonic" in Green Hill Zone, one would expect things to play out as they have many times before. However, when Tails does approach, he discovers, to his shock, that the Sonic in front of him was a hologram, and that he had just stepped into a trap. Cue the boss fight straight after.

* NothingIsScarier: The NightmareSequence, Green Hill's second half and the underground shipyard embrace this in full, keeping suspension high with no sign of life anywhere aside from Tails. No Badniks, no dead critters, no darkening halls... nothing but an uneasy walk through the area before the sequence ends.

* DevelopersForesight: Should you not kill a single creature in EXE Mode by the time the mode ends, the EXE you're playing as, instead of striking a victory pose, will show utter embarrassment at this EpicFail. You don't even get a single point for this, and instead of stating that the killer "destroyed the level" as it usually does, the results screen states that they failed. For bonus embarrassment, the game uses the GameOver theme from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'' (specifically its JP soundtrack).

* AdaptedOut: Story Mode has Amy, Cream and Sally completely absent, mainly in part due to ''Sally.exe'' never happening in the ''Project Eclipse'' universe. This pretty much means that only the male protagonists (even if Amy is an honorary member of Team Sonic) have a major role in the game's story.

** In Story Mode's opening, the whole sequence plays out akin to Hill Act 1 from the original creepypasta, including reusing Tails's ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog3AndKnuckles'' sprites as the call-back.
** At two points in Chapter 1 Act I, flashbacks occur to Hill Act 1 and ... when Tails is at certain sections, starting with the normal levels, then where things go OffTheRails, and finally the fateful encounters with Sonic.exe when Sonic seems to show up in each area.

'''Sonic.EXE: Project Eclipse''' (referred to as '''Project Eclipse''' in-game) is a fangame based on the ''VideoGame/SonicExe'' creepypasta by ''Poyomakepe'', serving as a combined remaster of all of their prior fangames related to the creepypasta.
The main focus of the game is to avert the classic tropes related to Sonic.exe, instead having survival in full focus instead of the ControllableHelplessness players are forced into in most games.
The game's demo saw release on October 27th 2023, and can be played [[https://gamejolt.com/games/Sonic_Project_Eclipse/818588 here]].
There are four major modes available to access in the game:
* '''Story Mode''' takes place 10 years after the creepypasta, and follows Team Sonic as they fly to South Island, which is now controlled and fortified by Eggman, to liberate the island and figure out just what he wants with it, alongside the signature "Project Eclipse" he's got in hand. However, trouble inevitably starts brewing soon enough...
* '''Arcade Mode''' (based on ''Sonic.EXE: The Last Hope of Mobius'') pits characters like Tails or Knuckles into unique survival scenarios where their primary objective is to locate a set number of goal points, then escape the map. However, stealth and caution are key, especially considering that an EXE is always about to stalk the survivor during their run.
* '''Custom Mode''' (based on ''Sonic.EXE Broken Protocol'') allows you to pick your difficulty level, your survivor, how many goal points you need to trigger, and what entities you wish to chance it against.[[note]]This is the only mode currently absent from the game's demo[[/note]]
* '''EXE Mode''' puts you in the hands of one of many [=EXEs=] as you aim to slaughter as many souls as you can in a set time limit. The prime aim is to earn as many points as you can by the end.
