Movement is achieved using the AWSD keys, while jumping and sprinting can be executed with the X and shift key respectively.<ref>Instructions on controls are found in the game's description.</ref> The world Tails spawns in is filled with platforms, some positioned above others, and there are rings scattered throughout, although collecting them appears to have no significant impact. Upon completing Act I, a cutscene plays as Tails falls into a pit of spikes, seemingly meeting his demise.


The gameplay transitions into a new level, "Dawn of a New Day 0 Hours Remain"; this level shares the same terrain and other elements as the [[wikipedia:Green Hill Zone|Green Hill Zone]], but against a slightly-dark plain blue background, an ominous chiptune playing. Sonic runs up to the terrain while there are dead animals there, as in the original Sonic.exe, he would end up catching up with Tails, who in which made contact, would open his eyes revealing black eyes and red pupils, and blood leaking out of both eyes, and at which point was suddenly cut out to static, and reveals was interrupted by the "No signal" screen.  
The gameplay transitions into a new level titled "Dawn of a New Day 0 Hours Remain." This level shares similarities with the [[wikipedia:Green Hill Zone|Green Hill Zone]], but against a slightly-dark plain blue background, an eerie chiptune plays. Sonic enters the terrain, encountering lifeless animals similar to the original Sonic.exe game. As Sonic approaches Tails, it cuts out to a short frame where Tails opens his eyes, revealing black irises with red pupils, and blood flows from both of his eyes. The scene is abruptly interrupted by static, followed by the "No signal" screen.
 
Subsequently, the game appears to restart with an intro. Players find themselves back in the game, with access to another level, "Sunshine" as Act 6. This level lacks terrain textures and backgrounds, instead being mostly covered by static. The player now primarily controls Sonic in a void where various sounds play in sequence. It starts with a radio-like buzzing sound, which gradually intensifies into a woman's scream, accompanied by increasing white noise.
 
The suspense from the increasing white noise builds up to a jumpscare moment. An image of Tails appears, depicted with gray eyes, showing only black pupils, bleeding from the eyes and ears, with hands covered in blood. This image coincides with the first verse of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgJWZiBt6_w Can You Feel The Sunshine?] from [[wikipedia:Sonic R|Sonic R]], though it plays with an echo effect. The image culminates with a screamer, wherein a close-up of the grayscale image displays the text: "There is no sunshine."
 
The game concludes with the message: "But that doesn't mean this is the end." before closing abruptly.


Following this, the game starts with the intro as it seemingly restarts itself and starts again. The game returns to the game in which the player can play another level, named Sunshine as Act 6. This level contains no terrain textures and background, and is mostly covered up by static, and player mainly controls Sonic in the void where sounds are played in order: a radio buzzing-like sound that gets louder as it progress and turns into a woman screaming, and the white noises start playing louder. However, the white noises build up the suspense into playing the jumpscare, in which an image of Tails whose eyes are gray, nothing but showing a black pupil, and are bleeding from both eyes, and ears are bleeding out, and hands covered in blood, and the image was accompanied by the first verse of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgJWZiBt6_w Can You Feel The Sunshine?] from [[wikipedia:Sonic R|Sonic R]] though it plays midway through the first verse and edited to play with echo. However, the image ends with a screamer in which a close-up of the image appears grayscaled and displays the text: "There is no sunshine." the game ends with the text "But that doesn't mean this is the end." before the game closes.
