Rarely does a guy who reviews horror games discover something that genuinely freaks him out. But for Jamie Farrell, an Irish YouTuber who runs the channel Obscure Horror Corner, Sad Satan — a game without an author, buried on the Deep Web — did exactly that. Farrell called it the "creepiest game" he'd ever played.
As Farrell navigated the throbbing corridors and glaring halls of Sad Satan, he heard various indecipherable sounds and audio clips. Famous photographs revealed sinister and Satanic imagery. It generated weird text files that blipped on and off. Farrell saw coded messages and Nazi-era photography. At one point, he came across a malformed little girl who let out a blood-curdling scream so loud it clipped the audio in his headphones. The game even started threatening him. So he deleted it.

Internet sleuths then picked up the trail and began to parse and decode the sinister messaging in Sad Satan. Now, the hunt is on to find an original copy of the game, a version anyone can play. The project has fascinated a fanbase obsessed with an emerging genre of Internet horror.
Yeah, I don't think it was designed for "entertainment".It's a bit shite, really.
Reminds me of Doom 2, but less entertaining.
No-one's quite sure why the game was designed - or even if the original player created it himself, uploaded the vids, then claimed he deleted it from his comp:Eventually, the screen flashes this photo of Jimmy Savile and Margaret Thatcher for a split second...
...before once again returning to the hallway. The NSPCC, by the way, is the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. This, I think, is the biggest clue in regards to what Sad Satan is “about,” but we’ll get to that in a little bit.

“It was getting a bit strange...a note pad file that went along with the game kept appearing on my desktop each time I played the game with some gibberish messages,” Jamie wrote on the first video’s YouTube description. I asked for proof, but couldn’t get any.
Mysterious deep web horror game Sad Satan has terrified and confused the internet
Jamie is the owner of the YouTube channel Obscure Horror Corner, and one of his subscribers sent him a link to a game called Sad Satan located on a deep web site where people can post their files anonymously. That subscriber found it in a forum post listed as the link to the game signed with the initials “ZK.”
Jamie downloaded the file he was linked to and ran a malware check on it. Everything seemed to check out, so he started playing the “game” and recording videos for his YouTube channel. The game, as it turns out, is super weird.
How Edgar Allan Poe And William S. Burroughs Inspired One Of The Creepiest Video Games Ever
By Ben McCool, Tech Times | January 19, 3:09 PM
Curiously, the point-and-click game received little in the way of attention from either game players or critics upon release. Apparently 3-D graphics, stop motion animation and video segments weren’t enough to captivate the PC-gaming community. Nor was the appearance of author William S. Burroughs as a voice actor!
C’mon, 1995 PC owners. The 80-something-year-old spearhead of paranoid fiction narrating a twisted horror game didn't sufficiently entice you? Damn. And there was me thinking today’s gamers are fickle…
I'm currently working on producing a PC game for Windows under my Dorset based magickal order, Ordo Mizbe'ah.
I came up with the idea as I find it increasingly difficult to get scared by a video game as I get older, it's probably due to many years of becoming desensitised from daytime horror films as a kid/teenager.
So the title is going to be an occult horror type, but I have some unusual concepts of digital sigilisation and subliminal evocation to allow the game to seep into the real world, so my intention is to bring about weird real world occurrences during and after game-play. I haven't revealed details yet but the game will be a free download via the dark web, only for members of the O.M. But as FT is the one other place online that I have honest & open friendly internet relationships I'll keep you guys updated and when it's completed I'll make it available to any of you guys that are interested in it
I might be wrong, but I think you need some pretty capable speakers to reproduce the brown note for maximum effect.
Didn't mythbusters bust the brown note?
Bit late to this thread. I'm watching the videos now. It's as though Marilyn Manson designed it. Interesting as a piece of art, perhaps.Yes indeed. I even managed to sit through the whole PT - and watched it over again a couple of months ago. It is quite disturbing as it induces a powerful sense of disorientation, and goes from lonesome metallic plodding to sinister confusing racket unexpectedly.
Not sure what to make of it. But it's certainly not much of a game.
