You're sitting in your room, controller in hand, playing Sonic CD like any other day when you remember the rumour your friend told you.

A secret code in the Sound Test. Curiosity gets the better of you, so you navigate to the Sound Test menu and enter the numbers: 46, 12, 25.

*The moment you press enter, your TV screen flashes an intense, blinding purple. A strange hum fills the air, and before you can react, a force pulls you forward—no, into the screen.

You tumble through a swirling vortex of deep purples and blues, disoriented, until you land with a thud on soft grass.

Dazed, you push yourself up and look around. The world around you is eerily unfamiliar—a dense forest bathed in dark purple hues, trees twisting in unnatural shapes.

The air is thick with an electric energy. You hear a rustling behind you. Turning around, your breath catches in your throat.

There, standing just a few feet away, is Sonic—or at least, something that looks like him. His fur has a gentle purple glow, but his face… It’s not the usual confident smirk of Sonic the Hedgehog. Instead, it’s a stretched, human-like grin, his eyes wide with an almost unsettling enthusiasm.

"Why hello! Congratulations, my dear friend! You've reached a secret world! Where the fun’s endless! My friend, the fun never ends when you play with our company, SEGA, LTD!"
