So does anyone here actually play the game? Not that I'm judging, play what you want, I just figured it was only autistic alt girls who played it past 18. Then again, that's probably 37% of this thread.
I do play ROBLOX once in a blue moon whenever I'm feeling extra nostalgic about it. It's a cycle of logging in, play a bunch of old ROBLOX games like
Survive the Disasters or a classic obby for some hours, enjoy it, and then never touch the game ever again, until I feel extra nostalgic about it so the cycle repeats.
Recently, I actually revisited ROBLOX for a different reason, my YouTube feed kept recommending me this sonic.exe fangame called "
Outcome Memories", and I kinda had to see it myself after seeing the 52nd thumbnail appearing in my timeline (the slippery slope of watching Cybershell to watching other Sonic videos is a real one).
It actually surprised me on how well-made this fangame was, specially for ROBLOX standards, which actually makes me feel ashamed, because... well... do you know how hard it is to look someone in the eye and say "I find the soundtrack of a sonic.exe fangame to be a banger"?
They somehow even managed to get Johnny Gioeli, lead vocalist of Crush 40, a.k.a the man who
sung many of the Official Sonic the Hedgehog soundtracks like Live and Learn, to be in this game... A FREAKING SONIC.EXE FANGAME MIND YOU!
I could sperg about this for hours and hours, but the real reason why I'm even bringing these two videos up are not because of the game itself... but the
drama surrounded it.
There were two particular YT comments respectively that caught my attention:
(I'm unable to archive youtube comments, if someone is able to lend a hand, I'd appreciate it)
Apparently most of the soundtrack of this game was replaced due to the original composers being sent death threats and some of them even doxxed.
Like, I saw this one youtube comment that one of the composers named "Juno" got swatted because one person didn't like his music.

And to make things worse, this entire project is supposedly being run by a guy who still hasn't left highschool!
This honestly feels like reading a fever dream: people, who are high likely to be highschoolers, are being swatted for making a song, for a game, about a creepypasta made in 2011... Heavens knows how deep this rabbit hole could go on.
I'm actually surprised there were no mentions of this project before on KF, because the amount of insanity I'm seeing from my first few google searches seem to be absolute mental. Will do a sequel on this post if I somehow understand this madness.
