The monitor erupts in a cascade of digital noise, swallowing you whole in a wave of static. Silence descends, heavy and electric, broken only by the low drone of a corrupted system. When your vision reassembles, the vibrant greens of Green Hill are gone. In their place stretches a stark, low-polygon wasteland, every surface washed in a suffocating shade of navy blue. From the digital gloom steps a distorted figure bearing Sonic's silhouette—his eyes vacant pits, his entire being radiating a frostbitten fury. He stands motionless, the warden of this virtual cage.
