Sonic.exe is a fangame inspired by the creepypasta of the same name.

History
This playlist was created on September 1, 2016 with the name "???" to create an element of mystery among fans. Its first rip would not be released until 2 months later, during the The SilvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special, proving that the post-Channel Ending event had been planned in advance. The playlist was renamed to "sonic.exe" on October 13, 2020, shortly after a Wayback Machine screenshot was created showing the old name.

On October 29, 2021, nearly 5 years after the upload of the first Sonic.exe rip, "Hill Act 1 - Sonic.exe" was published during The SilvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special: Part V. Unlike the playlist and the previous rip, this rip has a capital S in the game's name. This incongruence was fixed shortly afterwards, when all instances of the name were changed to have the S capitalized.

Overview
The original "Sonic.exe" creepypasta follows the story of a teenager named Tom, who was sent a haunted CD-ROM of  from his friend Kyle, who advised him to destroy the game and not to play it. Despite the warning, Tom plays it anyways, leading to him encountering disturbing events in the game brought upon by an eldritch entity taking the form of a distorted version of Sonic. The story was submitted to the Creepypasta Wiki in 2011, but was later removed by the wiki's staff in 2014 due to its relatively poor quality.

In 2012, Game Jolt user MY5TCrimson released an eponymous game inspired by the creepypasta. This fangame would later garner significant popularity from being the subject of many YouTube Let's Plays.
