The story picks up after the events of the first game. You are not playing as Sonic, but as a victim trapped in a distorted, hellish version of Green Hill Zone. Sonic.EXE—a demonic entity possessing the fictional hedgehog—has grown stronger. In Round 2 , the "spirits" of past victims are now tormented NPCs who can either help or hinder your progress. The goal is to collect seven Chaos Emeralds while avoiding the relentless, glitchy terror of EXE, who learns from your movement patterns.
The Sonic.EXE creepypasta phenomenon has spawned countless fan games, each reinterpreting the demonic, corrupted version of Sega’s beloved mascot.

While not an official release, the game taps into the enduring appeal of analog horror and “haunted game” tropes.
