Sad Satan is a horror game built with the Terror Engine. It was first reported by the channel Obscure Horror Center (also known as Jamie Farrel) on June 25, 2015, in a series of five videos. Due to its dark nature, it was covered by a number of different publications, spawning a subreddit community to discuss the game further. "Sad Satan'' was also known for its unofficial "true" version.

History and publications
Following the release, the game was covered by various publications to explain the mystery behind the Sad Satan origin. In particular, the video game blog Kotaku interviewed the owner of Obscure Horror Center, whom claimed that he was requested by an anonymous subscriber in a tip to download the Sad Satan game. The subscriber claimed to have found the game in the forum, from a user only known as "ZK."

Following Kotaku's interview, a subreddit r/sadsatan was formed on the site Reddit to further discuss the game's lore and its origin. At some point, Jamie Farrel revealed the .onion address where the game was supposedly found, but users quickly realized that the link contained invalid characters. According to another interview from Kotaku published three days later, Jamie Farrel said that the link was purposely given in error since the game did contain graphic material and didn't want to take responsibility for disseminating such material, although it has been proven that there wasn't any such material included in the game or in the video.

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. Below the snippet of text is the download link to that version, which actually 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 revealed 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 the computer's hard drive, which caused his computer to fail to boot up normally.

Content
- While playing the game, Jamie recalled that the game generated a shit ton of text files that are decipherable. - The player controls their character through a monochromatic corridor, along with extremely loud sounds looped over and over, including audio samples and interviews with various murders. Distorted and reversed. - The game shows images that prevents the player from progressing through the hallway for a while until it automatically closes. Some of these images references child abuse, especially (some shit here). - The "true" version includes images of violent gore and child pornography instead of the images shown from the original, including a child struck over by the truck (a snapshot of two construction workers), beheaded corpses related to Richard Cottingham killings, as well as a woman licking a baby's genetalia. <!--- [Images] All of these images from the original version are explained in each parts.

Images in the True version includes G1, which depicts a child struck over by the truck; this is a screencap to an unedited video from LiveLeak. G2 and G3 depicts headless corpses related to Richard Cottingham killings, who was also known as "Torso Killer" and G4 shows a corpse of a headless baby. G5 is questionable to users; some people claimed that it was a woman licking a baby's genetalia. The woman in that image was identified as Corinne Danielle Motley, a Florida woman arrested for counts of child pornography.
