Unwinnable by Design: Some versions of the game do have an ending, but others trap players at a dead end or have the NPCs relentlessly pursue them until death.

comment
Stylistic Suck: This game looks and sounds cheap, poorly produced, unfinished, and overall sloppy. It only serves to enhance the overall unease the game causes, enough to induce nausea and headaches in some individuals because of how the game is basically one long assault on your senses.

Central Theme
 Sad Satan (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9
comment
Central Theme: The game is for the most part a nonsensical mishmash of random Nightmare Fuel, but it seems to have a single overarching topic that recurs the most, being child abuse. This leads to theories that the game's twisted, nightmarish experience is supposed to personify that of child abuse. There's a background conversation of Jimmy Savile, a celebrity that got away with molesting over 400 children. A photograph of a Lady Justice statue, possibly a reference to the failures of the justice system to stop abusers. There's an image flash of Rolf Harris, another celebrity-turned-sex offender, in a Santa outfit with children. There's also an image flash of Tsutomu Miyazaki, the infamous "Little Girl Murderer". The only enemies in the game are tortured-looking, nightmarish children. The game features "Alabama Song", a song from the 1927 play Little Mahagonny about a group of prostitutes who bide their time drinking and soliciting sex. The game features The Doors' Cover Version of the track, which rewrites the line "show me the way to the next pretty boy" as "show me the way to the next little girl." The Ominous Music Box Tune naturally elicits something creepy and child-related.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Many of the jump scares appear for a split second on-screen, and a variety of screens in Obscure Horror Corner's videos consist of Wingdings messages that similarly show up for a second or so.

Surreal Horror: No explanation as to who you play as, endless treks down seemingly random corridors, random images of serial killers, pedophiles, and abstract horrors popping up, messed up visuals, and butchered audio. Fits this trope to a tee.

comment
Sdrawkcab Speech: Several parts of the game's audio are reversed versions of their sources. A few examples... The game is named after, and includes, the infamous reversed lyric heard in Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". The bloodcurdling scream is actually a reversed version of the original recording. The song "I Love Beijing Tiananmen", as heard in Hong Kong '97, has a portion of it heard in reverse.

The Most Dangerous Video Game: The content of some versions of the game really can leave an impact on the player due to the fact it's real, plus the worst versions are stuffed with computer viruses with symptoms that range from sluggish performance, keylogger installations, to even permanent, irreversible shutdown, allegedly.

Jump Scare: Images will randomly flash on the screen. Depending on the version, it could be as harmless as a picture of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand (the Austro-Hungarian royalty whose assassination caused World War I) or Lady Justice, pictures that fuels the above-mentioned Central Theme such as people convicted of child abuse/rape/murder, to graphic and horrific content such as actual child pornography and snuff.

Shout-Out
 Sad Satan (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The title is a reference to an infamous reversed lyric in the Led Zeppelin song "Stairway to Heaven". As a matter of fact, all sounds and music derive from somewhere. The Ominous Music Box Tune (swede.wav) is called the Swedish Rhapsody, one of those creepy Cold War Numbers Stations. The bassy slowed down track (alab2.wav) is "Alabama Song" by The Doors. The bloodcurdling screaming (derscream.wav) is an Aztec Death Whistle. The repetitive highpitched track (hong-kong-reverse.wav) is "I Love Beijing Tiananmen", specifically the Hong Kong '97 version of it. The "none whatsoever" conversation (jim.wav) is Jimmy Savile defending himself on his child sex abuse allegations.

Nothing Is Scarier: Most of the game consists of just wandering down dark, maze-like corridors that have nothing of note happening. No threats, no explicit scares, just... walking until you die.

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: As per the warning on the page, the "TRUE" version of the game should be treated as being radioactive because it will destroy your PC and has gore and extremely illegal content in the game files, while other versions should generally be avoided regardless.
