On July 7, 2015, an anonymous user claiming to be ZK posted a thread on [[4chan]] claiming that the "true" version of "Sad Satan" had not been covered by Obscure Horror Center.<ref><nowiki>https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/16336021/</nowiki></ref> Below the text snippet is a download link to that version, which included gore and child pornography instead of the images from the original. However, 4chan users who downloaded the game reported that their computers became unresponsive after running this version of the game; it was discovered to have a trojan installed with it. For instance, one user recalled that he attempted to play the game from a USB drive instead of his computer's hard drive, which caused his computer to fail to boot normally.

In 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 the late [[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 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 Cambodian footballer [[wikipedia:Andrés Escobar|Andrés Escobar]], and [[wikipedia:John F. Kennedy|John F. Kennedy]] before his assassination are 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 Margaret Thatcher. A photograph of Franz Joseph's work also appears.
