**Sonic.exe: Time's Up**, sometimes referred to as **Sonic Time's Up** or **Another Sonic.exe Fan Game 3.0**, is a 2023 2D survival-horror platformer fan-game created by Pudim Abestado and published by Team Café. It is the remaster of Another Sonic.exe Fan Game 2.0, with a variety of advanced mechanics and alot more added. A demo for the game was published on October 31, 2023 as a very early version in celebration of Halloween. The game is based on/inspired by the original Sonic.exe creepypasta story by JC-the-Hyena and the playable fangame by MY5TCrimson.

## Gameplay

*Sonic.exe: Time's Up* is a two-dimensional platformer game which attempts to imitate generic two-dimensional Sonic gameplay. The player controls (currently) Tails and Knuckles. (and in the beginning, Sonic). Characters have stamina, which is a constraint system in a number of free-to-play video games that limits how often the player can exert energy. Rings increase stamina. Characters also have sanity, which is their state of mentality. The player can keep their sanity up by collecting green rings or by collecting 100 rings. There are also red rings, which decrease sanity.

### Plot

Sonic, who was running through Green Hill one day, comes across an unknown creature which he accidentally steps on while running. The creature ended up attacking and possessing him.

Tails, who was on Emerald Hill, notices Angel Island has fallen out of the sky once more close to South Island and travels in the Tornado to discover the problem. He flies over Green Hill, which immediately turns dark and "scary" in a flash. Due to this, he lands the plane and explores the creepy area to find Sonic, or so who he thought was Sonic.

Knuckles, who was on Angel Island, encounters Metal Sonic, who is sent by Eggman to steal the Master Emerald. Knuckles catches Metal Sonic and ends up accidentally breaking the Master Emerald into shards which end up being scattered across the South Island.
