'''''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.

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 [[Wikipedia:Reddit|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.<ref><nowiki>https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/16336021/</nowiki></ref> 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 ==
In both ''Sad Satan'' versions, The player controls their character through the hallway of monochromatic corridors, while various audio samples plays. These audios consist of musical clips including I Love Beijing Tiananmen, and others included are recordings of interviews from various murders and child predators, such as Charles Manson and Jimmy Savill.  While the player controls their character through the hallway, images will intermittently display, preventing the player from progressing through the game. Most of these images often reference child abuse, especially people investigated and exposed in [[Wikipedia:Operation Yewtre|Operation Yewtree]], such as images of Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris. Other images involved crime, including a picture of the convicted child rapist and necrophile Tsutomu Miyazaki. Others included are photographs of Lady Justice, the deceased Cambodian footballer Andrés Escobar, and political figures such as an image of John F. Kennedy before he was shot.
The gameplay recording of original ''Sad Satan'' shows a player slowly passing through the hallway. After a while, a girl counting from 1 to 10 in German can be heard, which originated from a polish numbers station called Swedish Rhapsody which are used to transmit messages in code. At 7:39, the game freezes, a loud white noises and a distorted audio of KMFDM's Lynch Mob briefly plays over each other. Right before the video ends, a rendition of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin can be heard in reverse, chanting "Sad Satan", and features along with an image of Jimmy Saville with Margaret Thatcher, which appeared for a split second. A photograph of Franz Joseph's works is also shown.
In Part 2, the video features a gameplay mostly accompanied by a slowed down Hitler speech in the background until it silences and the corridor alters into black-and-white. Later, the player sees a child on the hallway, and when passed through it, a loud scream is played in reverse and the video ends there. At some parts, an image of former president John F. Kennedy right before he was shot is briefly shown.
