Barry the Quokka

Barry, or Barry the Quokka, refers to the unnamed main protagonist of the 2023 Point-and-Click visual novel The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog which was originally released on Steam as an April Fools joke by SEGA/Sonic social team.
Although the protagonist has been called Barry in both the game's trailer and in game files, it is uncertain if this is the character's actual name or is used as a placeholder. Barry is an anthropomorphic Quokka who was hired to serve as a steward aboard the Mirage Express and attend to the passengers at Amy Rose's birthday party.
==Biography==
Barry arrived early to begin their first day serving as a steward on a luxurious hi-tech locomotive called the Mirage Express. Entering the Dining Car, they encounter the train's Conductor who quizzed them on the menu before informing them about a "murder mystery party" that was being held for a group of passengers. Barry was tasked to ensure that the partygoers are well cared for and enjoy themselves during their trip aboard the Mirage Express. Once the passengers arrived, Barry recognised them to be Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends who were there to celebrate Amy Rose's birthday. The Conductor left their guests in Barry's care as Amy organises everyone into their positions to begin the murder mystery.
Suddenly, the train starts to accelerate to an alarming rate causing Amy, Tails, and Barry to tumble into the Dining Car's closet and become momentarily stuck inside before they break out to find Sonic lying motionless on the floor. Although shocked at first, Amy and Tails believe him to be the game's murder victim and begin searching for clues. However, Barry noticed that Sonic might actually be seriously injured although they decided to stay quiet about it in order to not cause panic and help Tails and Amy find the potential culprit of the assault. After much investigation, Barry and Tails concluded that the game's murderer was Espio the Chameleon who shot Sonic with a tranquilliser dart to render him unconscious. But this did not explain why Sonic seemed to be badly beaten until Sonic himself appeared to explain that the entire train was an intelligent Badnik that assaulted him and captured the Conductor.
The train's robotic hands emerged to confirm Sonic's claims and revealed it's intent to deliver them all to Dr. Eggman for a reward. Barry and Sonic are locked inside the Dining Car separate from their allies in the carriages ahead. But they manage to free them all by breaking through every carriage until they reach the Conductor's Car for a showdown with the Mirage Express. Once the train is defeated, the Conductor is released and everyone safely disembarks upon arriving at the train station. The player can then decide what happens to Barry after the events of the game.
