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.

In both ''Sad Satan'' versions, The player controls their character through the hallway of monochromatic corridors, while various audio samples play. 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 the late [[wikipedia:Jimmy Savile|Jimmy Savile]]. 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 the late Jimmy Savile and [[wikipedia:Rolf Harris|Rolf Harris]]. Other images involved crime, including a picture of the convicted child rapist and necrophile [[wikipedia:Tsutomu Miyazaki|Tsutomu Miyazaki]]. Others included are photographs of [[wikipedia:Lady Justice|Lady Justice]], the deceased Cambodian footballer [[wikipedia:Andrés Escobar|Andrés Escobar]], and political figures such as an image of [[wikipedia:John F. Kennedy|John F. Kennedy]] before he was shot.

A picture of the convicted child rapist and necrophile [[wikipedia:Tsutomu Miyazaki|Tsutomu Miyazaki]] was among the other images that dealt with crime. Photographs of [[wikipedia:Lady Justice|Lady Justice]], the late Cambodian footballer [[wikipedia:Andrés Escobar|Andrés Escobar]], and [[wikipedia:John F. Kennedy|John F. Kennedy]] before his assassination are also included.


The gameplay recording of the 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 number station called Swedish Rhapsody which is used to transmit messages in code. At 7:39, the game freezes, and loud white noises and distorted audio of KMFDM's Lynch Mob briefly play 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 the gameplay video for the original ''Sad Satan'' the player can be seen moving slowly down the hallway. After some time, a girl can be heard counting from 1 to 10 in German. This audio was produced by a Polish number station called Swedish Rhapsody, which was used to transmit messages in code. At 7:39, the game freezes and KMFDM's Lynch Mob begins to play over loud white noises and distorted audio. Just before the video ends, a reversed version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" can be heard, along with the chant "Sad Satan," and a brief glimpse of Jimmy Saville and Margaret Thatcher. An photograph of Franz Joseph's work also appears.


In Part 2, the video features 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 in the hallway, and when passed through it, a loud scream is played in reverse and the video ends there. In some parts, an image of former president John F. Kennedy right before he was shot is briefly shown.

In Part 3, Charles Manson's interview can be heard at the beginning, followed by a slightly slowed-down voice saying, "I live where there's no TV, no radio, no electric lights..." The game concludes with a reversed, distorted audio clip of "I Love Beijing Tiananmen" playing while it freezes on the screen.  


Before the original Tsutomu Miyazaki appears in the middle of the video in Part 4, 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 backwards (like from the end of Part 1). In Part 5, an image of Andres Escobar appears, a Cambodian footballer who was murdered after shooting at his own goal. From there, it is followed by the image of Roman Polanski, who was arrested for the rape of a 13-year-old girl. The video ends with the player stranded in the of the hallway at this point.
