Favorite part is when everything goes mute and just when you think it's over, Sonic's Will just starts singing the beginning of Green Hill. It's comforting, it's nostalgic, it's familiar.

When I was little I went to the YMCA. I was in the inside pool at the time. No one was looking so I decided to do a huge cannon ball into the deep end of the pool. My feet reached the ground and I decided to propel myself up by jumping on the ground floor of the pool. I started swimming upwards. And I kept swimming.. and swimming.. and swimming. It was starting to take really long.. too long. I started getting worried. My heart started beating out of my chest as I realized how deep into the water I really was. Soon I started making mistakes. A wrong move here and there that halted my progress out. I started getting really tired, it started getting painful to move as the air started slowly escaping me. Soon, it started feeling like I was helpless until my hand slipped into the surface. I used the rest of my energy to push myself to the surface and clung to the edge of the pool. I was just sat there panting as all of the other kids were having the time of their lives in the water. Needless to say, this mod brought back a core memory.
@@jjsauce1 Of course he wouldn't do it again. He was little. After an experience like that I wouldn't be surprised if he never went near a body of water again.
i also went to a pool resort, but the memory was all blurry. i remember, when i was little, just clinging to the edge then someone pulled me out, that's all i remember. (it was myrtle beach me and my family went there for vacation)
The worst feeling i had was when i was swimming in pool and tried to hold my breath for as long as possible while being at the deepest part of the pool. The moment when you breathe water in because of little mistake and anxiety is terrifying. Being at the bottom of a deep pool and losing all oxygen at one moment is painful and so helpless. Only speed decides will you live or not and panic is the worst enemy
@@fireninja37 he's singing with no air in his lungs, so obviously that would put strain on multiple parts of his body. that, and the pressure from being so deep underwater would probably cause internal bleeding
If that chain is made of iron, I wouldn't worry- he's not going to be down there for as long as the description says. The chain would rust away after a week. Still a nasty fate, but not "eternal" torture.
I like to think that the song is actually when Sink first entered the level. It starts normal like the song but the end part of the melody is different from what were use to foreshadowing something different taking place. 00:16 He gets an air bubble 00:39 Gets an item 00:58 Gets some more air Things seem to be going well. Too well. until 1:00 The background begins to build foreshadowing something terrible is coming until 1:23 You here that uncharacteristic sonic sound effect. This could be the initial chain getting stuck on his leg and him begining to sink He's sinking now You here that weird sound from earlier again except its just one this time. This could be hitting the bottom. There's a pause before the music picks up again: Representing the sudden realization of true distress and helplessness. He's panicking now. Looking everywhere for a way out but in the end useless. Finds another item or an enemy, either way it doesn't help him. Maybe it could have been an extra life which is why he doesn't die Static takes over the background. You cant even hear the level theme anymore. He remembers green hills. The duty he must fulfill. The promises he made to his friends. Drowning in his own failure. Strength returning to him he frantically thrashes around trying to get the chain off. The music goes quiet completely. He died again. Strength returning. He continues his futile thrashing The beginning theme returns confirming this was the fate it was foreshadowing to us. The last end section has quick sections with slower sections. Probably showing us how tiring but desperate he it to escape The final note being a long up note with a left note. Sink extending upward showing his want for freedom with the left note as a reminder of what is keeping him imprisoned. Also, his "inner spirit" has a longer up note then his physical body. Showing how its his will that keeps him alive and not necessarily his body If you actually bothered reading any of this, I hope you enjoyed my interpretation.
Very interesting your theory but I do not think it is the first time that sink sink to the bottom of labyrinth zone by some points. 1. The mine is rusty which shows That sink has been there for a long time. 2. The sink soul cannot see appeared so soon. 3. They couldn't coordinate so quickly even if it's their soul or willpower . But well thanks for reading I hope you understand my points Good bye.
@@rykyprueba128random6 I don't really get your last two points but as for your first one, the ruins that sonic goes through are ancient ruins. They were built a long time ago so it'd make sense if they were rusty or something. Im not saying that the song takes place right after he gets trapped there, I'm basically saying he's singing/reminiscing about how he first got trapped there.
I love the detail that when sonics at his lowest and stops singing (the first time, I think the second time is him blacking out), he starts to remember green hill and keeps going. It ties in to his undying will really well
@@thats_arian06 he means the pressure from being that deep would be crushing him, and the water would start to be absorbed by sonics skin, which would be very painful
the thought of it honestly genuinely makes me feel sick, sheesh. like think about that feeling when you accidentally have water enter your nose, but obviously much worse
God I love this stuff. It's so much more interesting and terrifying than just putting Sonic.exe in somewhere again. It also perfectly demonstrates the stuff that actually gets me in horror media. Just thinking about if I was in that situation instead is genuinely scary to me. Imagine being stuck at the bottom of a massive pit of water, completely unable to escape or even die. You're just stuck there forever, since nobody is gonna be able to find you.
My theory is the sonic in the background is his soul, consistently attempting to flee his body, to no avail. He teeters on the edge of death, his soul and body splitting somewhat, but neither able to experience the blissful release of death. Some curse holds sonic in an infinite state of drowning, unable to be free until someone else who will never come saves him.
Thats what I was thinking! People thinks his soul is trying to live but due to the expression on the soul face and it's note animayions, it made me think that it's trying to leave the body.
Imo, I think it represents Sonic when he got the chain clamped onto his leg, the left pose is looking for anyone to help him, the right pose is him trying to reach out for something to hold onto to stop sinking, down pose is just him accepting his fate, up pose is screaming for help, and idle is desperately hoping for a miracle
I feel bad for Sink, literally suffering underwater with no escape. Poor hedgehog can't even die, shows "Press R to Restart" text when your healthbar goes down to 0. And all he can feel is eternal pain.
Insane mod. I played this mod and my god it was amazing! 😊 The music is actually fucking banging. Also love the way sonic looks here it's so good! Short but sweet.
No one in sight all hope seems lost for this hedgehog… but a distant call tells him to hold out. A familiar egg like body looms over him with a key, worry seen through the murky depth of the mask. Just as our blue buddy passes out, light is seen above. They were almost too late.
The most chilling thing is when you realize that, he screams all the time, yet no air bubbles are present. He's already dead, yet he's still suffering.
I love this song for the sole fact that it… as the mod itself conveys a desperate struggle, In my eyes… it represents the overwhelming pressure of dealing with certain moments in life that lead to bad panic/anxiety attacks, it emulates a similar feeling to that of drowning or suffocating…
The fact that he has blood pouring out of him indicates that he is at a deep level, like the baby version of the MARIANA trench, or he has been down there for a long time. Nice mod.
This and Corrupted Generations are hands down the best Sonic.EXE-esc fanmade mods, this for the concept and music, and Corrupted Generations for the sprites
I was pretty spooked of drowning in general, but now I'm PETRIFIED. Not only is getting CHAINED at the bottom of the sea with no help in sight a frightful experience, but dying alone is a spiral of loneliness and despair is too terrifying to even think of. Simply put, this mod gave me CHILLS. 😰
Not only that, but imagine being drowned, then brought back by you’re will to live, ONLY TO DROWN AGAIN! I’ve actually experienced drowning and I’m petrified to go near water,
@@MarioMania07 If I were in this situation, as much as it main make our hearts break that he is drowning for eternity, doing in to save him would get you killed, as the chain tied around his leg is cursed, so it will never break.
Eggman finally knew how to defeat sonic, a ball and chain to his leg and air bubbles. (I absolutely love the fact of how every now and then your hear the getting air sound) This mod is super cool and wish I knew the context of how he got into that position tho. but a awesome mod.
I have this weird headcannon that Sink CAN actually emerge from the water, but he'd have to re-submerge himself eventually. He's basically the opposite of how Sonic usually works: he'll lose a life when out of the water for too long instead of the other way around.
Jesus CHRIST. This is a really dark concept of a mod. It’s just harsh to think that Sonic can never die and only be tormented for the rest of eternity. I feel like the only way Sonic can finally rest in peace is when someone finally finds him and frees him from there.
My headcannon on how he has infinite lifes is he has already collected the chaos emeralds(or majority of them) here and thats what keeping him alive,we already seem in canon the emeralds are able to ressurrect sonic if he dies
Has anyone else noticed that theres a Black Sun refernce at 2:01 at least I think so🙃 But it might just be a coincidence considering the revie conroversy.
This is gonna sound a tad psychotic, but I love how it actually sounds like he's underwater and screaming in the same garbled way it does in cartoons It's just that extra layer that makes it that much cooler
Trapped in a body of water. Attached to a trap with no escape pressure entering through your mouth lungs and brain. You cant see as the water fills up your eyes immortal just to suffer. You cant see properly without the right view. As you cry for help but nobody came you cant be free from the amount of pain and depression. Drowning. Continuing to suffer as nobody knows the state your in... You give up and just sing as you suffer.
My one question is how did he manage to strap his own leg into a chained spike ball? It was either A:he strapped it himself for some reason B:it was a trap,like he stepped a bit too close and the chain just closed and locked his leg with the spiked ball C:someone chained him up for some twisted reason
Definitely not A, Because he wouldn't just want to get out of the water so bad (aka keep ressurecting and drowning all over again) C?? I dont really think so either (unless thats possible) Probably B
@@firered23ful you are right, but the main question i think we should be asking, how unlucky does he have to be that it literally keeps him in a loop of pain?
-Drowning -Bleeding from the mouth -Chained to the bottom of the sea, unable to move Solution:Spit bars and waste your blood and oxygen supply *Great idea* Sonic, *great idea!*
if you pay attention... he dies 3 times during the song that's what he wants but a bubble of air makes him breathe back, in other words how long While he is there, we do not know, however, that he wants to die and when he dies, in this case, we make a lot of mistakes, the counter goes back to zero, symbolizing the repetition of this hell.
To be honest, wasting oxygen and blood wouldn't do anything in this situation. Man is too determined to keep living, so oxygen doesnt really matter Blood on the other hand could put him out of his misery though.
Did you know that in Friday Night Funkin’: Below the Depths… You can’t actually die. This mod is designed after the creepypasta where Sonic is trapped in a forever loop of death, meaning that even if you try to die, you can’t. In the original creepypasta, Sonic is powered by determination. At around 2 minutes and 58 seconds into the song, Sonic’s notes fade out and then fade in abruptly. This is probably supposed to represent Sonic actually dying. This happens at some other times in the song, but without fading. They just stop coming for about 3 seconds.
Nice use of the Breaking sound effect from Carnival Night! 😉 This Mod is great! I remember the first time I ever heard the Drowning music in Sonic 1 It scared me so much that Sonic was gonna Drown that I turned off the game to save him... Now I wonder if this is what happens when you turn off the game while he is drowning....😰 Or perhaps Sonic has had Nightmares like this...
I feel really bad for Sonic here man... Even though the Song is a banger and the Sprites are perfect, He's suffering so dang much, And he can't die no matter how long he waits, Sad times man. :c
He will never hear the drowning music. At this point for him, death would be a release that he'll never achieve. No drowning music, but plenty of Labyrinth music, the only music he'd be hearing forever
Fun Fact: the length of this song is (almost) exactly how long the average human can remain conscious underwater before passing out. So is the length of Ben Drowned, Terrible Fate.
I think part of what makes this song so special is the brief silences dotted here and there. It's sonic losing the strength to fight for just a moment before going back to desperate action.
i dont know what to feel: sad that this hedgehog will be trapped in neverending drowning and slip slowly into madness or how upbeat this music is. bonus: 1:25 that's the sound of a heart breaking. (someone pls help this hedgehog)
Iirc, in games it has been mentioned that each second that passes, Sonic gets stronger (I might be wrong tho), but I like to think that Sonic will grow strong enough to get out by his own
I came here because I thought the song was very cool. I loved it very much. Thing is, I played it in Funky Friday(roblox) so I didn't know what the actual mod was. This video sends me chills down my spine and makes me want to cry. Guess this song is ruined for me. I'm going to go play and give myself nightmares, see ya!
Context? No problem i gotchu: "Sink is an "exe" who doesn't fall under the typical standards an average exe comes down to. He's not corrupted or possessed by some demon. He's simply a Sonic who got caught up in a series of unfortunate circumstances. Battered and bruised, got himself caught inside the chains of an underwater mine, trapped with no air in sight. He drowned and sunk to the bottom of the Labyrinth Zone. Due to his sheer will power, much to his dismay, he is able to somehow 'survive'. He's essentially like a zombified sonic, trapped inside a never ending state of pain, suffering, and loneliness. He doesn't know how long he's been trapped down there, endlessly waiting for SOMETHING that can save him from his agony. Days, weeks, years, decades. All he can do is wait in pain..."
2:10 when I had gone skiing once a blizzard decided to make itself known, I was lost in the snow and was beginning to lose strength by rummaging through it. My jacket kept me warm but it wouldn’t be long until I might’ve passed out. I could barely see anything through the thick white and this part of the song began to play in my head, I felt hopeless, lost, like I was going to die. until I saw the lights of the skiing lobby. I pushed with all my strength and managed to make it through, shivering, covered in snow and barely conscious.
What frightens me the most is not the fact that he's trapped in the water suffering forever but instead his bleeding eye. I find it so unnerving when an eye bleeds for some reason.
The fact that he’s got blood coming out of him means the water pressures gotta be high, high enough to make him suffer, but not high enough to crush him. So he’s DEEP DEEP
Being underwater would be worse than hell let me explain: you would get soaked with water and be more bloated than a toad or a frog meaning you’re lungs would be exploding or non-existent because of the pressure even with dark lore minecraft animations
for a hedgehog that can only stay underwater for 5 seconds before drowning, he sure has been used to it and is now able to spend more than 3 minutes underwater
Some context behind this mod and what is going on, for the ppl that dont know. The dude here shackled is sonic and after dying once in the trench he is doomed to roam the trench, and him being shackled is his infinite fate.
Our sonic, he fell in water, getting his leg stuck on what I think appears to be a bomb. Now, hes drowning.. He trys to call for help.. Its no use.. Cause the only thing your going to get is water in your mouth. Then sonic wakes up because of a little air bubble. He trys calling for help, no use. Something makes him collect an item, trys calling for more help, no use of course.. gets some air from a air bubble. Then, hes drowning. Hes.. Dying. Theres no use. but, his "Deteranmation" or.. His body is trying to fight and break out. Then, his body pass out.. then back to sonic fighting.. Passes out.. fighting.. Nothing.. More calling for help.. Nothing.. Its no use. Hes trapped. Hes a goner. No one to save him. Hes going to die. Some people here wish that they could save him. But we just cant. If you read all of that, thanks. I took the time to do this somehow even though im a lazy person.. Bye.

You here that weird sound from earlier again except its just one this time. This could be hitting the bottom. There's a pause before the music picks up again: Representing the sudden realization of true distress and helplessness.
He's panicking now. Looking everywhere for a way out but in the end useless. Finds another item or an enemy, either way it doesn't help him. Maybe it could have been an extra life which is why he doesn't die
Static takes over the background. You cant even hear the level theme anymore. He remembers green hills. The duty he must fulfill. The promises he made to his friends. Drowning in his own failure. Strength returning to him he frantically thrashes around trying to get the chain off.
The music goes quiet completely. He died again. Strength returning. He continues his futile thrashing
The beginning theme returns confirming this was the fate it was foreshadowing to us. The last end section has quick sections with slower sections. Probably showing us how tiring but desperate he it to escape
The final note being a long up note with a left note. Sink extending upward showing his want for freedom with the left note as a reminder of what is keeping him imprisoned.
Also, his "inner spirit" has a longer up note then his physical body. Showing how its his will that keeps him alive and not necessarily his body
If you actually bothered reading any of this, I hope you enjoyed my interpretation.
this is insane ii mever thouught of that
plus the time goes up from 0 so it really is like he just got there
i love how accurate this is i didnt really notice that much de tail im glad u did tho, thx so much for explaining this so well
Very interesting your theory but I do not think it is the first time that sink sink to the bottom of labyrinth zone by some points.
1. The mine is rusty which shows That sink has been there for a long time.
2. The sink soul cannot see appeared so soon.
3. They couldn't coordinate so quickly even if it's their soul or willpower .
But well thanks for reading I hope you understand my points
Good bye.
@@rykyprueba128random6 I don't really get your last two points but as for your first one, the ruins that sonic goes through are ancient ruins. They were built a long time ago so it'd make sense if they were rusty or something. Im not saying that the song takes place right after he gets trapped there, I'm basically saying he's singing/reminiscing about how he first got trapped there.
@@Tom-om6cu Or well thank you
I love the detail that when sonics at his lowest and stops singing (the first time, I think the second time is him blacking out), he starts to remember green hill and keeps going. It ties in to his undying will really well
This is the most terrifying .exe just because of the concept alone. Fight me.

@@thats_arian06 he means the pressure from being that deep would be crushing him, and the water would start to be absorbed by sonics skin, which would be very painful
You right tho
the thought of it honestly genuinely makes me feel sick, sheesh. like think about that feeling when you accidentally have water enter your nose, but obviously much worse
God I love this stuff. It's so much more interesting and terrifying than just putting Sonic.exe in somewhere again. It also perfectly demonstrates the stuff that actually gets me in horror media. Just thinking about if I was in that situation instead is genuinely scary to me. Imagine being stuck at the bottom of a massive pit of water, completely unable to escape or even die. You're just stuck there forever, since nobody is gonna be able to find you.
This is fucking dark... He’s just stuck down there, drowning forever. You can see the panic and fear in his face.
The fact this takes place in Sonic 1 and sonic looks like his modern self or at least adventure, i just have to ask: *How long has he been here*
Days years decades
like, a long ass time
Years and decades
Probably in this timeline he never mets Tails, Knuckles or Amy, either Shadow or someone else that can help him :(
Love when the notes are held it has a gargling kind of sound too
Good Ending: *Eggman Realizes Sonic Is Missing And Goes To Look For Him And Saves Him*
I wish it will happen but sadly no.
Eggman wouldnt look for sonic
It would happen in the Sonic boom cartoon
@@darthvader53X yes
Thing is, Robotnik doesnt care about Sonic in Sonic 1 ( and 2 I think ). Whenever you die to him in a boss, he literally laughs
My theory is the sonic in the background is his soul, consistently attempting to flee his body, to no avail. He teeters on the edge of death, his soul and body splitting somewhat, but neither able to experience the blissful release of death. Some curse holds sonic in an infinite state of drowning, unable to be free until someone else who will never come saves him.
Thats what I was thinking! People thinks his soul is trying to live but due to the expression on the soul face and it's note animayions, it made me think that it's trying to leave the body.
its because hes trapped on an air bubble,making him breathe for a few seconds before starting to drown again
Imo, I think it represents Sonic when he got the chain clamped onto his leg, the left pose is looking for anyone to help him, the right pose is him trying to reach out for something to hold onto to stop sinking, down pose is just him accepting his fate, up pose is screaming for help, and idle is desperately hoping for a miracle
I love that in the instrumental is clearly audible labyrinth zone theme( especially because its the first zone with water in sonic 1)

I feel bad for Sink, literally suffering underwater with no escape. Poor hedgehog can't even die, shows "Press R to Restart" text when your healthbar goes down to 0.
And all he can feel is eternal pain.
Insane mod. I played this mod and my god it was amazing! 😊 The music is actually fucking banging. Also love the way sonic looks here it's so good! Short but sweet.
No one in sight all hope seems lost for this hedgehog… but a distant call tells him to hold out. A familiar egg like body looms over him with a key, worry seen through the murky depth of the mask. Just as our blue buddy passes out, light is seen above. They were almost too late.
I feel like robotnik would save sonic
It's just who he is
Like he wanted to do it not a rusty trap
@@watcherknight5938 for real dude
this is not canon btw
@@thedaredevilofinkwellisle that's obvious
I wish this happened, or if Sink was saved by a time over.
The most chilling thing is when you realize that, he screams all the time, yet no air bubbles are present.
He's already dead, yet he's still suffering.
Did anyone notice how he switched the settings of the Timebar? From time left to current time?
The detail of the vocals sounding like they r being covered is such a good touch considering he’s below such depths.
Sonic: *Drowning for eternity*
Us: DAMN THIS SONG IS A HIT
I love this song for the sole fact that it… as the mod itself conveys a desperate struggle,
In my eyes… it represents the overwhelming pressure of dealing with certain moments in life that lead to bad panic/anxiety attacks, it emulates a similar feeling to that of drowning or suffocating…
This is how Eggman could be rid of Sonic for good. He just is too tunnelvisioned to try it.
The fact that he has blood pouring out of him indicates that he is at a deep level, like the baby version of the MARIANA trench, or he has been down there for a long time. Nice mod.
This character concept actually gave me some ideas, i really loved the mod and the song, and the Sonic sprite makes me feel sad, poor hedgehog
This and Corrupted Generations are hands down the best Sonic.EXE-esc fanmade mods, this for the concept and music, and Corrupted Generations for the sprites
I was pretty spooked of drowning in general, but now I'm PETRIFIED. Not only is getting CHAINED at the bottom of the sea with no help in sight a frightful experience, but dying alone is a spiral of loneliness and despair is too terrifying to even think of.
Simply put, this mod gave me CHILLS. 😰
Not only that, but imagine being drowned, then brought back by you’re will to live, ONLY TO DROWN AGAIN! I’ve actually experienced drowning and I’m petrified to go near water,
Dear God...😨
@@MarioMania07 Yep. That’s what sink goes through every 3 minutes.
The poor soul. What I would give to dive into the depths and save him from the hell he's going through.
@@MarioMania07 If I were in this situation, as much as it main make our hearts break that he is drowning for eternity, doing in to save him would get you killed, as the chain tied around his leg is cursed, so it will never break.
i think this is legit one of the scariest versions of a sonic creepypasta cus of the real fear of drowing

Watching this makes my eyes water. The thought of drowning is terrifying.
Same..
the timer going up instead of down is a really cool and telling detail; the expressions on him are also INSANELY well done
yeah especially considering the dude’s probably in negatives in the drowning counter
in other mods flippy plays it goes up too
it's just a psych engine setting but the expressions are really well done, that's true
@@khoraa4292 it makes sense why they would do that thought cause it signals his never ending suffering
The fact this is escapable makes this even more depressing since if Sonic wants to escape he has to sacrifice his speed
Eggman finally knew how to defeat sonic, a ball and chain to his leg and air bubbles. (I absolutely love the fact of how every now and then your hear the getting air sound) This mod is super cool and wish I knew the context of how he got into that position tho. but a awesome mod.
Eggman didn't do that to Sonic, Sonic got his leg stuck to the ball and chain and it sank underwater
I have this weird headcannon that Sink CAN actually emerge from the water, but he'd have to re-submerge himself eventually.
He's basically the opposite of how Sonic usually works: he'll lose a life when out of the water for too long instead of the other way around.
his bones would be too fragile to stay overworld
Jesus CHRIST. This is a really dark concept of a mod. It’s just harsh to think that Sonic can never die and only be tormented for the rest of eternity. I feel like the only way Sonic can finally rest in peace is when someone finally finds him and frees him from there.
Or if sadly death indeed reaches him and just end everything, because i don't even know if he would be alive on the surface
in some games mario cant drown so it could happen to him too
My headcannon on how he has infinite lifes is he has already collected the chaos emeralds(or majority of them) here and thats what keeping him alive,we already seem in canon the emeralds are able to ressurrect sonic if he dies
Has anyone else noticed that theres a Black Sun refernce at 2:01 at least I think so🙃
But it might just be a coincidence considering the revie conroversy.
This is gonna sound a tad psychotic, but I love how it actually sounds like he's underwater and screaming in the same garbled way it does in cartoons
It's just that extra layer that makes it that much cooler
Trapped in a body of water. Attached to a trap with no escape pressure entering through your mouth lungs and brain. You cant see as the water fills up your eyes immortal just to suffer. You cant see properly without the right view. As you cry for help but nobody came you cant be free from the amount of pain and depression. Drowning. Continuing to suffer as nobody knows the state your in... You give up and just sing as you suffer.
My one question is how did he manage to strap his own leg into a chained spike ball?
It was either
A:he strapped it himself for some reason
B:it was a trap,like he stepped a bit too close and the chain just closed and locked his leg with the spiked ball
C:someone chained him up for some twisted reason
Definitely not A, Because he wouldn't just want to get out of the water so bad (aka keep ressurecting and drowning all over again)
C?? I dont really think so either (unless thats possible)
Probably B
definitely B
In the mod there's a lore section that says he was just unlucky and got caught in the labyrinth zone spike ball trap
@@firered23ful you are right, but the main question i think we should be asking, how unlucky does he have to be that it literally keeps him in a loop of pain?
@@jcbendy his will to live
-Drowning
-Bleeding from the mouth
-Chained to the bottom of the sea, unable to move
Solution:Spit bars and waste your blood and oxygen supply
*Great idea* Sonic, *great idea!*
if you pay attention... he dies 3 times during the song that's what he wants but a bubble of air makes him breathe back, in other words how long While he is there, we do not know, however, that he wants to die and when he dies, in this case, we make a lot of mistakes, the counter goes back to zero, symbolizing the repetition of this hell.
@@NeoAmatic ..What?
To be honest, wasting oxygen and blood wouldn't do anything in this situation.
Man is too determined to keep living, so oxygen doesnt really matter
Blood on the other hand could put him out of his misery though.
@@NeoAmatic cant he like climb down the chain and into the bomb
Did you know that in Friday Night Funkin’: Below the Depths…
You can’t actually die. This mod is designed after the creepypasta where Sonic is trapped in a forever loop of death, meaning that even if you try to die, you can’t. In the original creepypasta, Sonic is powered by determination.
At around 2 minutes and 58 seconds into the song, Sonic’s notes fade out and then fade in abruptly. This is probably supposed to represent Sonic actually dying. This happens at some other times in the song, but without fading. They just stop coming for about 3 seconds.
There is no og creepy pasta it was made in fnf
@@KingFamppam Shut up.
Nice work but I can't hear this song without thinking of RadicalSoda singing about how angry Labyrinth Zone made him
Nice use of the Breaking sound effect from Carnival Night! 😉
This Mod is great!
I remember the first time I ever heard the Drowning music in Sonic 1 It scared me so much that Sonic was gonna Drown that I turned off the game to save him...
Now I wonder if this is what happens when you turn off the game while he is drowning....😰
Or perhaps Sonic has had Nightmares like this...
he didn’t make this
The fact that you turned off the game in an attempt to save sonic is genuinely adorable
I feel really bad for Sonic here man... Even though the Song is a banger and the Sprites are perfect, He's suffering so dang much, And he can't die no matter how long he waits, Sad times man. :c
It's just a ficional character though
When the game character has too much of a will to live after not getting an extra life in forever...:
me after doing the inf 1 up glitch in mario 3d world
3:02 is the best part, don't lie to me
The robots: Hear anything guys?
Love how you can hear labyrinth zone in the instrumental and vocals.
He will never hear the drowning music. At this point for him, death would be a release that he'll never achieve. No drowning music, but plenty of Labyrinth music, the only music he'd be hearing forever
even though I can't swim, I've never wanted to take and save a fictional hedgehog so badly.
Понимаю тебя. Ёжику нужно немного кислорода и обнимашек.
This is why I don't like water stages
Fun Fact: the length of this song is (almost) exactly how long the average human can remain conscious underwater before passing out. So is the length of Ben Drowned, Terrible Fate.
He doesnt die because theres a curse that makes him get an air bubble before he dies
I think part of what makes this song so special is the brief silences dotted here and there. It's sonic losing the strength to fight for just a moment before going back to desperate action.
i dont know what to feel:
sad that this hedgehog will be trapped in neverending drowning and slip slowly into madness
or
how upbeat this music is.
bonus: 1:25 that's the sound of a heart breaking. (someone pls help this hedgehog)
That’s him tugging on the chain I think
@@inkboyco9832Or the chain getting stuck on the floor
This is the first mod to truly make me feel uncomfortable, good job I guess
*I AM NOT DEAD*
Iirc, in games it has been mentioned that each second that passes, Sonic gets stronger (I might be wrong tho), but I like to think that Sonic will grow strong enough to get out by his own
probably will
You just reminded me of that line in Forces, and I hope Sonic will escape.
This mod is so sad ! 😭 poor sonic ! I feel so bad for him btw love the music.
Sonic screaming as his lungs are filling with water and is yelling in agony= great vocals
"Please, let me go. PLEASE! LET ME DROWN! DAMN YOU!" He gurgled into the nothing; no one replying, no one speaking...
This is how you do horror people. No need for gore or jumpscares, a strong concept and good execution is enough to make someone feel uneasy
Jesus, this is basically my childhood.
Never got past Labyrinth Zone when I was younger, and it TERRIFIED me.
I like to imagine that he tries to ace these songs multiple times and the one run that succeeds is put in the video
"oh no im drowning"
" * starts rapping with my soul * "
Sonic may be drowning, but he can really sing a banger song.
I came here because I thought the song was very cool. I loved it very much. Thing is, I played it in Funky Friday(roblox) so I didn't know what the actual mod was. This video sends me chills down my spine and makes me want to cry. Guess this song is ruined for me.
I'm going to go play and give myself nightmares, see ya!
what was i on 💀 it aint even scary
Context? No problem i gotchu: "Sink is an "exe" who doesn't fall under the typical standards an average exe comes down to. He's not corrupted or possessed by some demon. He's simply a Sonic who got caught up in a series of unfortunate circumstances. Battered and bruised, got himself caught inside the chains of an underwater mine, trapped with no air in sight. He drowned and sunk to the bottom of the Labyrinth Zone. Due to his sheer will power, much to his dismay, he is able to somehow 'survive'. He's essentially like a zombified sonic, trapped inside a never ending state of pain, suffering, and loneliness. He doesn't know how long he's been trapped down there, endlessly waiting for SOMETHING that can save him from his agony. Days, weeks, years, decades. All he can do is wait in pain..."
I remember watching this 2 years ago...
The cookie that fell in my milk when i tried to dip it
i always hated labyrinth zone but now this is a whole other level
Remember when Sonic mods weren't an excuse to make drama on Twitter?
WE NEED MORE TO THIS. This song has a lot of potential for something else, like adding tails or someone coming to save him, you get it
This is Sonic 1, he has no friends
2:10 when I had gone skiing once a blizzard decided to make itself known, I was lost in the snow and was beginning to lose strength by rummaging through it. My jacket kept me warm but it wouldn’t be long until I might’ve passed out. I could barely see anything through the thick white and this part of the song began to play in my head, I felt hopeless, lost, like I was going to die. until I saw the lights of the skiing lobby. I pushed with all my strength and managed to make it through, shivering, covered in snow and barely conscious.
What frightens me the most is not the fact that he's trapped in the water suffering forever but instead his bleeding eye. I find it so unnerving when an eye bleeds for some reason.
The fact that he’s got blood coming out of him means the water pressures gotta be high, high enough to make him suffer, but not high enough to crush him. So he’s DEEP DEEP
Being underwater would be worse than hell let me explain: you would get soaked with water and be more bloated than a toad or a frog meaning you’re lungs would be exploding or non-existent because of the pressure even with dark lore minecraft animations
2:59 Tbh, I think he was supposed to ''die again'' right there, but the ''curse'' didn't let it happen.
for a hedgehog that can only stay underwater for 5 seconds before drowning, he sure has been used to it and is now able to spend more than 3 minutes underwater
Can we all agree the labyrinth zone remix at the start just hits differently
Listening to this while stressed. Perfect stress reliever. (This is a joke, I love this song but I’m making my stress worse.)
This mod hurts childhood me with that dark labyrinth zone theme playing in the background
The fact that this is sonic 1. No tails. If he still escapes the chain he cant swim.
Some context behind this mod and what is going on, for the ppl that dont know. The dude here shackled is sonic and after dying once in the trench he is doomed to roam the trench, and him being shackled is his infinite fate.
Our sonic, he fell in water, getting his leg stuck on what I think appears to be a bomb. Now, hes drowning.. He trys to call for help.. Its no use.. Cause the only thing your going to get is water in your mouth.
Then sonic wakes up because of a little air bubble. He trys calling for help, no use. Something makes him collect an item, trys calling for more help, no use of course.. gets some air from a air bubble.
Then, hes drowning. Hes.. Dying.
Theres no use. but, his "Deteranmation" or.. His body is trying to fight and break out. Then, his body pass out.. then back to sonic fighting.. Passes out.. fighting.. Nothing.. More calling for help.. Nothing.. Its no use.
Hes trapped.
Hes a goner.
No one to save him.
Hes going to die.
Some people here wish that they could save him.
But we just cant.
If you read all of that, thanks. I took the time to do this somehow even though im a lazy person..
Bye.
Sonic has max extra lives and has softlocked himself in a scrapped area of the underground water labyrinth.
I saw this before this Flippy video and I love it so much, it sounds so classic
