Sonic Xtreme Prototype

My name is Niki. I used to work as a trainee at SEGA in 2002. I applied to work as a character designer for Sonic Team, since it had been my dream since the early 90's. I mostly gave coffee, documents and ideas to the fellows there.It wasn't the best...or the worst...but i've had my very questionable experiences like the one i'm about to tell you.

I was giving my goodbyes to the other fellows there in the Sonic Team studio. I was tasked with tidying up the documents, and other knicknacks they may have left behind. I mean, it wasn't the most prestigious or gracious of tasks, but it was for experience. I picked up some documents on the desk, but then i saw a disk lying there, labeled 'Sonic Xtreme prototype'. I froze and picked up the disk. It looked surprisingly new, and without any dust on it so i said "Why the hell not?" and stuffed it in my messenger bag. I continued cleaning up the remaining bits and left.

I threw my messenger bag on my sofa and got the disk from it. I got my Sega CD and tested if the disk fit. Strangely enough, it fit inside the Sega CD. "Weird, this thing was supposed to come out for the Sega Saturn." I said to myself. I shrugged and put it in.

It looked really glitchy, as old video games from the 90's tend to look like. I could hear the classic TV white noise that brought me back. It started out with the classic sonic intro in 2D but it then transformed into 3D sonic with sparkles to transition. "Aww yeah! This is happenin'!" I heard Sonic say from the TV. It sounded kind of worn and bitcrushed. This must've been some really early prototype. I entered the game, but suddenly i saw sonic's eyes blacken out for a split second. I of course was off put by this but tried to brush it off as i played the rest of the game.

Basically it was a 3D green hill zone in fisheye. Everything was going fine n' dandy until sonic stopped. I tried to move him with the d-pad, and nothing. Suddenly the game faded into 2D again. Sonic walked into a pitch black house, and turned on the light to see Tails doll sitting in a chair. A white text in the scratch font said: "Play with me, sonic." The lights in that dingy house flickered to then see the tails doll hanging from the roof. Sonic looked horrified and tried to leave, but then a brief 2 seconds of static and then Tails doll was behind sonic. Then static appeared on the screen, then it went to black. Then the japanese character for 'a' was plastered allover the screen in rows. Then it faded out and said: "You can't leave, you are in my world now. Which means my rules. Play with me forever, sonic. Play with me..PLAY WITH ME." I heard a youthful bitcrushed voice say from the TV. I turned off the system and put the disk back in my bag, wide-eyed and silent. I've been so desensitized to horror at this point that i didn't utter a word.

The next day i returned it to the person who had it. He was an odd fellow at the most. But, the next day i heard he got fired because of the disk since it "Tarnished Sonics image." Luckily now i work as a character designer, but i still think about that guy from time to time.

something tells me he was more than what he looked...a bit more...sinister...
