The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog/Hidden content

Back to: The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Forbidden names

When naming the protagonist at the beginning of the game, if the player enters a bad word as a name, the protagonist will refuse it. Most of these bad words the game checks for include sexual terms and slang words, and blatant racist/ableist/transphobic slurs. The game also checks for substrings, so "butt" and "butts" will both match.

In addition, the game will also forbid the player from using names of characters who are part of the narrative, displaying different flavour text from the protagonist for doing so. Unlike bad words, the game will not check for substrings with these names, so names like "Sonic Fan" are still acceptable. There are 15 known character names that cannot be used:

• AMY
• BLAZE
• CONDUCTOR
• CUBOT
• EGGMAN
• ESPIO
• FLICKY
• KNUCKLES
• METAL SONIC
• ORBOT
• ROUGE
• SHADOW
• SONIC
• TAILS
• VECTOR
