==4chan== | In an interview with ''Kotaku'', the channel's owner claims to have downloaded the game from a Tor hidden service after receiving a tip from an anonymous subscriber. The subscriber in turn claims to have found the link via a deep web internet forum, from a user only known as "ZK" Initially, some followers were skeptical of the game, fearing it may contain gore or child pornography. However, the owner of Obscure Horror Corner shared that, so far in his playthroughs, the game had not contained any such material.<ref><nowiki>https://web.archive.org/web/20151208141950/http://oi59.tinypic.com/14marzk.jpg</nowiki></ref> | ||

Following the Kotaku interview, the subreddit "/r/sadsatan" was formed on Reddit to discuss the game and quickly realized the .onion address provided by Obscure Horror Corner contained invalid characters. Three days later, Obscure Horror Corner appeared again on Kotaku, claiming that the link was purposefully given in error since the game itself did in fact contain graphic material and the ''Obscure Horror Corner'' channel owner did not want to be responsible for disseminating such material. | |||

A little bit before the update, a user on 4chan claiming to be ZK started a thread that said "don't believe what that obscure horror corner coward said here is the real thing." The thread contained a MEGA link to download the clone this version of sad satan.<ref><nowiki>https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/16336021/</nowiki></ref> This particular version of the game contained malicious scripts that ruined some players computers by making them run slow and become unresponsive. | |||

The game | The game takes place in an eerie, dark maze. Every few seconds, gore images depicting adults and even kids would appear on the screen. The game would also show images of pedophiles and serial killers, audio of reversed screams, one of Adolf Hitler's speeches and [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson Charles Manson] speaking could be heard. Once the player finished the maze, they would be trapped in a dark room. | ||

In 2017, a man from Lubbock, Texas named Gary Graves was arrested on counts of child pornography possession. He ran a YouTube channel called Scarebere where he posted a video titled Sad Sad Satan. The YouTube channel in question can be traced back to a Reddit account that was created 4 days before the post containing the link to the "clone" that was posted on 4chan. The Reddit account that was created was ''ScarebereZK''. Another video found on the channel also showed a middle aged man, the credits in the video identified him as Gary Graves. The man in the video is identical to another Gary found in the 2017 Lubbock criminal registry; which led some to assume that Gary was indeed the creator and poster of the "clone" game.<ref><nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eB8slrlVdk</nowiki></ref> | |||
