However, something feels a bit off – is this really an innocent game or is something more sinister afoot? Sounds easy enough, no? Ah, but that’s where you’re mistaken, my dear Watson.It’s Amy Rose’s birthday, and she’s hosting a murder mystery party on the Mirage Express! When Sonic the Hedgehog becomes the game’s victim, everyone is off to get to the bottom of things. The gist is simple: assist Detective Tails - in his Sherlock Holmes tartan cape - and pushy journalist Amy in questioning the passengers in order to poke holes in their alibis about who “murdered” Sonic. I’d been speeding through SEGA games as Sonic since I was kid, so it was nice to participate as an outsider with zero pressure for a change. You play as the train conductor’s slightly awkward and unsure assistant - a completely new furry character to the Mobius universe that you can customize with your own name. If the game turned out to be a dud, it would have been easier to bury it amidst Steam’s labyrinthine chambers of titles. As Steam offers titles from the greenest of devs to the most conspicuous names in the business, perhaps SEGA decided to test its latest creation in a neutral playground and under a somewhat lower profile.

Point-and-click games were all the rage in the early '90s, with classics like Myst and Grim Fandango available exclusively on PC, but thanks to recent hits like Night In The Woods, Unpacking, and Life Is Strange, point-and-clicks are making a comeback on a variety of consoles, as well as PC.
