The hunt may still be on for the original maker of the mysterious 'Sad Satan' deep web horror game, but some fans area looking to close the gap between the two existing versions of the game.
That is to say, if you really wanted the actual experience of 'Sad Satan' without the viruses and child pornography, you may soon get it.
According to a post in the official 'Sad Satan' Reddit, one fan is determined to develop a 'Sad Satan' game remake that combines components from the version first previewed by Obscure Horror Corner with changes that make for a more fluid (and safe) experience of the game.
The version on the subreddit is a safe bet to download if your curious. Whether or not the original clone (original clone. I'm dying) is actually the original game is up for debate (since it was posted anonymously). Even if it is it would be very. Please DO NOT download 'Sad Satan TRUE' If you want to play the game, here's the clean version: https://www.reddit.com/r/sadsatan/comments/3gs3br/downloadc.
A troll on 4chan claiming to be me, uploaded the 'true' version of Sad Satan. The game was full of gore, CP, and a botnet virus. At that point, nobody was really sure which version was the original, or the 'clone'.-ZK. Sad Satan is a deep web 'horror game' where you literally do nothing but walk around in a black, empty space; most of the time, a dimly-lit hallway with distorted sound clips playing in the background and random images periodically flashing up on your screen. The game was supposedly developed by Obscure Horror Corner; however, this remains unconfirmed. The game made its first internet. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
The Reddit fan who has announced his remake is Daniel Drake, who as of Aug. 16 announced that he was working on a remake.
'The 'Sad Satan' remake is official! I will post updates on my progress as things progress; right now I'm just looking through the game's map and have already recreated two wall graphics pixel by pixel,' said Drake.
AS for why Drake wanted to work on a 'Sad Satan' remake, he cites influence from his personal life:
'Because of my rough past and many scarring moments in my early years, I've always been emotionally invested in horror, and making others feel what I've felt,' explained Drake.
Drake, who represents himself as DRSG Games in the gaming community, claims that his 'Sad Satan' remake will be based on the original Obscure Horror Corner version that initially caused all of the interest and excitement plus certain portions of the dangerous 'clone' version that surfaced in 4chan claiming to be the 'real' version.
So far, there seems to be plenty of fan support for Drake's version of 'Sad Satan,' so perhaps in the coming months there will a worthy playable version for many more fans to absorb.
If not, there's still a manhunt out for the original creator of 'Sad Satan' to keep all of us interested parties occupied until a new version comes to us.
At the beginning of this month, horror fanatics and internet nerds alike became deeply engrossed in a mysterious PC game called 'Sad Satan.' The game has since lost its luster, now being speculated to be a ploy on the part of YouTube channel Obscure Horror Corner to garner a larger audience.
But with the mystery seemingly solved, and the game no longer available in its alleged original form (unless you're looking for a computer crashing clone version), some fans have felt that the ending is strangely anti-climactic.
In short, is there really nothing else to say for the mysterious and horrifying 'Sad Satan' game?
In fact, this recently became the topic of discussion on the official 'Sad Satan' Reddit group.
'So what can we do? Should we just sit by, accept that this has happened, and move on? Or should we continue to look into it and find out who made the clone and, eventually, tie up the loose ends and solve this whole thing,' said White_noiz.

Indeed, it would seem that the mystery of 'Sad Satan' is not an open and shut case just yet. Firstly, it's still not certain who created either the clone version or the 'original' version of 'Sad Satan.'
There are plenty of reasons to believe that Obscure Horror Corner may have created the game to garner more viewers and subscribers to his channel. But as some have pointed out, there seems to be significant difference in objective and time uploaded between the first three videos, and the last two videos.

And even if OHC is responsible for the 'original' 'Sad Satan' depicted in videos, who is responsible for the very dangerous (and very illegal) 'clone' version of the game?
Unfortunately, the death of the 'Sad Satan' mystery may be inevitable. Several fans have already let the supposed mystery questions about the deep web origins, child pornography and gore content, and Obscure Horror Corner's somewhat sloppy cover-up fall to the waste side.
'Sad Satan' thus has become synonymous with any town urban legend. No one is certain where it came from, how it circulated exactly, or what exactly the point of the game was.
But perhaps a slow death is really just a new beginning in disguise. After all, every great urban legend has a tendency to live forever.
And as everyone knows, everything on the internet lives forever.
