Sad Satan
From Screamer Wiki
This page is about a screamer or shock site, whose original copy has been deleted. |
Sad Satan was a shock horror game released in 2015 that was made by a Dark Web user under the username "ZK." The game was originally a hoax but ended up becoming a real game.
Origin
The first hoax was gameplay uploaded to YouTube by a channel called Obscure Horror Corner, run by Irish youtuber Jamie Farrel.[1] The videos started getting a lot of views and some people tries to find the actual game.
On Kotaku, Obscure Horror Corner said he got the game from a deep web service after receiving a tip from an anonymous subscriber. This subscriber claimed to have found the link on a dark web forum, from a user only known as "ZK". Originally, Obscure Horror Corner stated that the game contained to gore or child pornography.[2]
r/sadsatan was a subreddit created to discuss the game. Users eventually realized the .onion address provided by Obscure Horror Corner contained invalid characters. Obscure Horror Corner appeared on Kotaku again claiming that the link was purposefully given in error since the game itself did in fact contain graphic material, and he didn't want to be responsible for sharing such imagery.
4chan
A little bit before the update, a user on 4chan user claiming to be ZK started a thread on the /x/ board at July 07, 2015. the thread "What you've seen on youtube isn't right. Don't believe that coward Obscure Horror Corner. He did not show you what was truly in this game." The thread contained a MEGA link to download the clone this version of sad satan.[3] This particular version of the game contained malicious scripts that ruined some players computers by making them run slow and become unresponsive.
Gameplay
The game takes place in an eerie, dark maze. Every few seconds, gore images depicting adults and even kids would appear on the screen,but what made this game extremely controversial was an image in the games files called "G5" that shows some illegal activities going on with an underage girl,the pedophile in the image is Corinne Danielle Motley a Florida woman that was arrested for making child pornography. The game would also show images of pedophiles and serial killers, audio of reversed screams, one of Adolf Hitler's speeches and Charles Manson speaking could be heard. Once the player finished the maze, they would be trapped in a dark room.
Investigation
After the game was released to the public, some people were trying to find out who in their right mind would make this game. A lot of people thought that the 4chan user who started the sad satan thread also made this clone. Some people believe that Obscure Horror Corner made it, while others believe that Obscure Horror Corner made the fake version and the illegal clone. Obscure Horror Clone ended up deleting his descriptions and quit YouTube, and hasn't uploaded since 2015.
FBI Involvement
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.
Other Versions
- Blindstark (Clean) version: This version removes the viruses/malware and replaces the child porn and gore images with family friendly photos (this is the version that PewDiePie played). This version was pinned to r/sadsatan, but the file sharing service that it was uploaded on for some unknown reason deleted the game, and no archive can be found.
- Itch: This is the safest remake that can be played today. This game contains no gore, no child porn, and no malware. The game is a pretty close remake to Obscure Horror Corner's videos (also the itch user "ScarebereZK" is not the actual ZK).
- Version that was found is scarebere's comments: Scarebere posted a mediafire link to sad satan (which was way before he got arrested). It's basically the 4chan clone but without child pornography in it (it's unknown whether or not the game contains malware.)
- Gamejolt Version: Posted bt Gamejolt user "_ZK_" (which, surprise its not the actual zk). This version contains graphic gore images, but no child pornography or malware.
