The game starts with the introduction of [[Barry the Quokka]], who is starting their first day working at the [[Mirage Express]] train. However, they do not have the brightest start, since they have arrived fifteen minutes ahead of schedule. They also realize that their nametag was not ready yet, so they prepare one on the spot. The player is then prompted to give Barry a name.

Barry soon after arrives at the Mirage Express' Dining Car, where they get nervous because of their new job. They are welcomed by the train's [[Conductor]], who announces that he is retiring after thirty-two years of work, and that his wife has already got flight tickets to [[Spagonia]] locked to celebrate. After handing Barry the Mirage Express' menu, the Conductor explains its many features, and that it is used for events rather than as a passenger train; today's event is a "Murder Mystery Party", with guests being funneled into the Dining Car to chat with each other.

Afterwards, the Conductor opens the doors to the Mirage Express. [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]], [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], [[Amy Rose|Amy]], [[Vector the Crocodile|Vector]], [[Espio the Chameleon|Espio]], [[Blaze the Cat|Blaze]], [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]] and [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] all go onboard. As it turns out, the friends are all here to celebrate Amy's birthday. As they admire how advanced and beautiful the train is, the Conductor and Barry welcome the guests and collect their tickets. Afterwards, the Conductor leaves and asks the quokka to make sure everything goes as planned. Meanwhile, the pink hedgehog announces her friends' roles: she is a journalist reporter and stays in the Dining Car; Sonic is the ship captain and goes to the conductor car, along with the Conductor himself; Tails is the detective and stays with Amy; Knuckles is the sheriff and is stationed at the Saloon Car; Vector is the butcher and Espio is the poet, both going to the Library Car; Blaze is a titan of industry and Rouge is a business tycoon, and both girls head to the Casino Car; and Shadow is the locksmith at the Lounge Car. One of these, except Amy and Tails, is the "murderer" of the game, who has to kill any of the others and defend their position through lies and deception. The rest figure out the suspected killer by finding clues.

With everyone else going to their respective posts, Amy and Tails talk to Barry at the Dining Car, since they need to wait for an hour before the game starts. As they await the beginning of the mystery, the two reveal their "lore"; Amy is a nosey girl who became a journalist, and Tails was once friends with a [[Flicky]] who betrayed him by joining the infamous [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]]. They also reveal that according to the games rules, they can't be the murderer. However, the train suddenly starts to accelerate like crazy, knocking the three out.
