What do you think?

Yooo Sadece , Can you help me please. Were is the second Hacked ring. Found the Tails and Eggman one but can't find the Knuckles one! Any help would be much appreciated thank you

I downloaded it and it's pretty cool :D

So what endings are available rn?

When you boot up SonicHCR: The Fatal Hack, there’s an immediate electric jolt — not the comforting nostalgia of a polished platformer, but the raw, uneasy crackle of something slightly off. The premise alone sets the tone: in this game, ā€œSonic’s nature has been taken over by an unknown entity. Now its sole purpose is to hack victims and steal their codes.ā€ Game Jolt The words ā€œhackā€, ā€œsteal codesā€, ā€œunknown entityā€ already shift expectations: you’re not here for cheerful rings and loop-de-loops, but for something darker.

Graphically and tonally, there’s a gritty, fan-made horror vibe. The aesthetic is lo-fi, imperfect — not the gloss of a corporate release, but the glitchy distortion of a broken codebase; it feels like you’re watching chaos seep through the seams of what was supposed to be a fun platformer. Every sprite flicker, every out-of-place colour shift or moment of awkward animation adds weight: this isn’t about smooth gameplay, it’s about discomfort.

Playing it often feels like stumbling into a corrupted memory of what you remember: levels and zones that hint at the familiar (the world of Sonic), but twisted sideways — as if someone pressed ā€œglitchā€ on purpose. The usual promise of speed and freedom becomes heavy: you don’t run toward a goal so much as wander through a digital nightmare that’s rewiring itself as you go. The hacking-virus premise transforms every interaction into something fraught: nothing feels safe.

That said — as with many fan-made horror-hacks — the result is… uneven. The ambition to subvert a joyful platformer into horror is something to respect. But glitches, rough edges, occasional clunky controls or aesthetic awkwardness remind you that this isn’t AAA polish. Sometimes the horror comes more from the idea — ā€œwhat if Sonic was corruptedā€ — than from perfect execution.

But maybe that’s the point. SonicHCR: The Fatal Hack isn’t trying to be seamless. It wants to unsettle. It wants to remind you that behind nostalgic joy can lurk something twisted — a reminder that codes and memories, like games, can be corrupted. As you play, there’s a creeping dread that at any moment, the corruption will reach through the screen, warping not just the world inside your PC but your sense of safety with it.

In the landscape of fan-made horror hacks — a niche with everything from spooky rom-hacks to glitched platformers — this game stands out simply because it dares to flip the script on what ā€œSonicā€ can be. It doesn’t serve up chopped loops or soothing nostalgia; instead, it feeds you unease, and makes you complicit in the corruption. It’s rough, maybe messy in places — but it’s haunting.

If you go in expecting a polished platformer, you might walk away disappointed. But if you let yourself embrace the broken code, the glitch aesthetic, the twisted familiarity — SonicHCR: The Fatal Hack can be an experience that lingers. A warped, digital dream turned nightmare; a reminder that sometimes, even icons can be infected.
