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 Center, 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 Center, 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. | |||

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. | ||
