Episode 54: The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog

Press any Button: A Video Game Podcast

Jinkies! Sonic has been murdered and Eric and Nicky need to figure out which one of his friends was behind the dastardly deed in this week's episode of Press any Button. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a point-and-click visual novel developed by Sega Social Team and published by Sega for macOS and Windows. In the game, you investigate Sonic's apparent murder on Amy Rose's birthday. The game was released as freeware on March 31, 2023, to coincide with April Fools' Day.

Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?) BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc.
