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. | 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.

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. | After some time, the FBI actually investigated this game and ended up banning all download links.

In the fourth part, before the original Tsutomu Miyazaki appears in the middle of the video, an image of him is briefly displayed with his eyes drawn in red. A picture of Lady Justice now appears; this could be a reference to a lack of justice. An image of Rolf Harris, who was found guilty of molesting children, appears halfway through the video. The identical image of Tsutomu Miyazaki appears at the game's conclusion, but his eyes have been written in black, and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" is played backward (like from the end of Part 1). In Part 5, an image of Andres Escobar, a Colombian footballer who was murdered after shooting at his own goal. From there, it is followed by the image of [[wikipedia:Roman Polanski|Roman Polanski]], who was arrested for the rape of then-13-year-old Samantha Geimer. The video ends with the player stranded in the hallway at this point. | In the fourth part, before the original Tsutomu Miyazaki appears in the middle of the video, an image of him is briefly displayed with his eyes drawn in red.

G1.jpg featured an image of a child struck by a truck. G2 and G3 are the images of headless corpses that are related to the case of serial killer Richard Cottingham (also known as the "Torso Killer"). G4 is the deformed corpse of a baby. G5 is the image of what appears to be a woman licking a baby's genitalia in a dark room. Other images included were non-graphic ones also used from the original. Some of these images will display right away from the options on the title screen; for instance, clicking any of those options will cause one of the headless corpses to appear on the screen for a few seconds. In the end, the player encounters a dead end, and a heavily slowed-down song plays, similar to how the original ends. There is an accessible "clone" version with graphic images removed. These are the remaining copies that are easily accessible, except for the one Jamie Farrel covered. | ||

In 2017, a man from Lubbock, Texas, named Gary Graves was arrested on charges of child sexual abuse material. The man in question is assumed to be the one who was actually behind a Reddit account called ScarebereZK, as well as the YouTube channel with the same name that contains a now-deleted video called "Sad Sad Satan" that, at the end of the video, shows a person who is actually a lookalike of Gary Graves himself. However, it is still unknown whether the claim that Jamie linked "ZK" as the person from whom he downloaded has been confirmed yet.<ref>lubbockonline.com/story/news/crime/2017/10/20/lubbock-man-sentenced-federal-child-porn-charge/14840859007/</ref><ref>ice.gov/news/releases/married-couple-gets-lengthy-prison-sentences-producing-child-porn</ref> | ||
