Hi! Welcome to Sonic's Hourglass! You will notice quickly this isn't a normal action/horror book. No, this is an interactive story. The choices you have Sonic make will affect your ending and overall experience reading. This book also relies on numeric values such as friendship values, which also affect your adventure and ending. Friendship values will only apply to some of the new characters you meet on your journey, not friends Sonic has already made before the events of Sonic's Hourglass. Every friendship counter starts at 0. So grab a piece of paper, or pull up a text editor and keep track of your values, and of course your progress as a whole. You will be notified each time a value goes up or down. Negatives exist. Enjoy!
