Cuphead

Cuphead is a platformer game released in 2017 for the Xbox One, PC, MacOS and Nintendo Switch. It is often considered one of the most difficult games to come out this decade.

Context for the Screamer (SPOILERS AHEAD)

Unlike your traditional "reversed" screamers, this one is a little bit more clever in how it's set up.

Prior to the games' release on GOG (a DRM free gaming service), some PC gamers pirated the game and were met with an anti-piracy detection, where the game's main theme would be replaced with a rather disturbing track (dubbed by fans as "You paid the price"), where disturbing music would play alongside quiet whispers. Possibly as an attempt to unsettle the pirate for not buying. There are NO screamers in the pirated copy, however:

SPOILERS AHEAD!

In the LEGAL copy of the game, at the end, if you decide to sign the devil's contract, the player's game would end and the main game's theme would be reversed.

SPOILERS END HERE

In 2018, YouTuber user MinecraftMasterDude uploaded a video titled " CupHead piracy intro reversed with lyrics", possibly luring fans and those interested in anti-piracy measures, into believing that upon beating the pirated game, you'd have a reversed-pirated theme much like the legal game.

In MinecraftMasterDude's video, he has a still picture of the Cuphead menu while the pirated track plays. As implied, the uploader does tag the appropriate lyrics (such as "You Stole!"), however at 0:57, a picture of the Devil from Cuphead, pops up with an insanely loud, ear rape, scream. After that, the video ends.
