Zero Gets JUMPSCARED (Sonic SFM Animatic)
Zero the Jackal (formerly Infinite) occasionally gets nightmares of Shadow the Hedgehog calling him weak.
This is one of the instances: being on a boat in a river, with a mix of a not-so-horror movie and a not-so-horror video game put into a disturbing EXE creepypasta-like experience where one is expecting something to just pop out.
And somehow, Zero still could not get over being called weak and became a soy boy in his dream.

Hi. Here's a new video of Infinite having another nightmare of Shadow, by re-imagining him even more of a creature than ever. A little different as I made use of the slow tension.
Have you ever had a dream... that... umm, you get a jumpscare from the edgelord calling you weak and you wanted revenge because of what happened to your squad (and also your fragile ego). Yeah, Sonic Forces happened with this badly-written villain.
I still wonder if Zero is truly still alive, given the route I took in which he is in a wheelchair, and that I played around with the concept that it's an illusion because of the whole Phantom Ruby consumption thing.
Anyway, here's a David Lynch reference to the diner scene from Mulholland Drive, hence the use of the audio and the infamous jumpscare. As for why Zero's dream takes place at a river in the forest?
Well... I'll let you figure it out. Perhaps a Slenderman game or Outlast given that a camera's here? 🤔
Also, I actually made use of AI-generated images specifically for the Shadow jumpscare. Thanks, Dalle-mini/craiyon.
