After its release, several publications covered the Sad Satan game in an attempt to uncover its mysterious origin. Notably, Kotaku, a video game blog, interviewed the owner of Obscure Horror Corner, who received a tip from an anonymous subscriber to download the game. The subscriber claimed to have found the game on a forum posted by a user known only as "ZK."<ref>kotaku.com/a-horror-game-hidden-in-the-darkest-corners-of-the-inte-1714980337</ref>

After Kotaku's interview with the owner of Obscure Horror Corner, a subreddit called r/sadsatan was created on Reddit to discuss the game's origin and lore. Jamie Farrel later disclosed the .onion address where the game was allegedly found, but users discovered that the link had invalid characters. In a subsequent Kotaku interview published three days later, Farrel admitted that he had intentionally provided an incorrect link because the game contained graphic material and he did not want to be held responsible for distributing it. However, it was later discovered that no such material existed in either the game or the video.

On July 7, 2015, an anonymous user claiming to be ZK posted a thread on 4chan, alleging that the original "Sad Satan" version covered by Obscure Horror Corner was not authentic.<ref><nowiki>https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/16336021/</nowiki></ref> The post included a download link to a new version, which contained graphic content including gore and child pornography. However, users who downloaded this version reported that it caused their computers to become unresponsive and was discovered to have a trojan installed with it. One user even noted that attempting to play the game from a USB drive instead of their computer's hard drive caused their computer to fail to boot normally.

After some time, the FBI actually investigated this game and ended up banning all download links. Attempting to copy and paste the MEGA link will give an error screen saying that the file was removed for violating the MEGA ToS.

In both "Sad Satan" games, The player controls their character through the hallway of monochromatic corridors while various audio samples play. These audios include interviews with various murderers and child predators, including [[wikipedia:Jimmy Savile|Jimmy Savile]] and [[wikipedia:Charles Manson|Charles Manson]], as well as musical excerpts like "I Love Beijing Tiananmen." While the player controls their character through the hallway, images will intermittently appear, preventing their progress in the game. Most of these images often include references to child abuse, particularly those of Jimmy Savile and [[wikipedia:Rolf Harris|Rolf Harris]]. A picture of the convicted child rapist and necrophile [[wikipedia:Tsutomu Miyazaki|Tsutomu Miyazaki]] was among the other images that dealt with crime. Photographs of [[wikipedia:Lady Justice|Lady Justice]], the late Colombian footballer [[wikipedia:Andrés Escobar|Andrés Escobar]], and the late [[wikipedia:John F. Kennedy|John F. Kennedy]] before his assassination is also included.

In the gameplay video for the original ''Sad Satan'' the player can be seen moving slowly down the hallway. After some time, a girl can be heard counting from 1 to 10 in German. This audio was produced by a Polish number station called Swedish Rhapsody, which was used to transmit messages in code. At 7:39, the game freezes, and KMFDM's Lynch Mob begins to play over loud white noise and distorted audio. Just before the video ends, a reversed version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" can be heard, along with the chant "Sad Satan" and a brief glimpse of Jimmy Saville and the late former British Prime Minister [[Wikipedia:Margaret Thatcher|Margaret Thatcher]]. A photograph of [[Wikipedia:Franz Joseph, 9th Prince of Thurn and Taxis|Franz Joseph]]'s work also appears.
