I was about to preface this review with "Man, I really wonder how this got popular in the first place", but then I remembered the reason it did: Children who aren't old enough to distinguish the difference between what's shit and what isn't picked it up and praised it.
Basic plot: A guy receives a disc from his friend, telling him not to play it and destroy the disc. Like an idiot, the guy doesn't listen and plays the game. Inside it is a spooky haunted Sonic game where Evil Sonic kills his friends (and Eggman). Our hero is way too overdramatic about video game characters dying, but does not give a flying fuck that his friend who sent him the disc is possibly dead. Sonic says "I AM GOD" and then a Sonic plush toy appears on the main character's bed. THE END!
...Wow. Alright, let's outline the flaws of this story: Bad grammar, stupid plot, dumb ending, weak prose, attempts at making the story scary that fall flat, and the hero is an idiot who cares more about fictional characters than his friend.
There's a sequel written, and it's just as bad, if not more. It's longer, stupider and attempts to create a "mythos" surrounding a character who is literally just Sonic the Hedgehog if he got a really bad eye infection.
I'll never forgive the Friday Night Funkin' modders who made this pasta relevant again, because Sonic.Exe is the kind of story that deserves to be forgotten with time.
Fanfic Sucks Ass
