One correct on OneShot's original version - From what I understand, it wasn't that you had to finish the game in one sitting, but rather you had to find a bed to be able to safely close the game without getting locked out The modern version lets you close the game wherever without this penalty now, though Niko will still acknowledge if you didn't find a bed first when you open the game back up and say "hey maybe you _shouldn't_ do that?"

I think it actually is the first one. I dont think the beds were added until the second version. Idk for sure tho.

I remember that the game originally only let you get to the ending once, with the second version letting you do a bit of 4th wall breaking file stuff to see everything?

@@_-insertname-_ depends on what you consider the first version, in the original i think yeah but im not sure i've never seen it and as such i dont even know if it already had an ending. The steam version no. You could always do the fourth wall breaking stuff to replay, in an update it just added the so called "solstice" run.

@AltoRed_ 9 ай бұрын

BIG one shot fan here, in the original version there *were* beds, but they closed your game i think, also,, in the "new" version (if you can call it that anymore) If you close the game, Niko just says that "everything went black for a second". Now the beds only give some lore when you reopen the game.

Short version is, the main mechanic is gone, but you can still only do the solstice run once. (I can't edit the message I'm why)

As someone who used to read creepypastas constantly I believe the characters claiming they're god is inspired by a specific creepypasta titled The Expressionless. Which had the line "I AM GOD" be the scary punchline. As someone who has read creepypastas a lot, there is a lot of inspiration (plagiarism) that these mostly teenaged kids took to incorporate into their own stories.

Not sure if some other info had come out, but as far as I know, it technically was a real game... Made specifically for creating footage for the series. It's been stated that it's janky and only really good for making said footage, so there haven't been any plans to release it.

I think Polybius might've been inspired by an old game called "Cube Quest", which made use of surreal video footage and neon-colored polygons in a shoot-em-up format. The video was rendered with a laserdisc, which was very prone to breaking, meaning that the mechanics would have to take away the machine for repairs, possibly explaining the "men in black".

@ExtremeWreck 11 ай бұрын

If you ever do a part 2, here are some that I can think of: Mad (Commodore 64): A bunch of .sid files from Adam Gilmore have been found, presumably for a game called "Mad". However, there's nothing known about the game aside from that as no ROMs of it are known to exist on the internet. JimsToy's Atari 2600 games: Apparently some developer that made several Atari 2600 games. Only one game from the developer is known to exist, which is a tank game where you shoot enemies that look like manjis, but flipped a bit to represent German tanks. Aim Software: A company that released several games on the Atari 8-Bit computers, some of which are not known to actually exist Die Hard Trilogy (Sega Genesis/Sega 32X): Only mentioned on Mega Machines, with no proof of having actually existed. Married... With Children (NES): A supposed cancelled game based on the popular 80s sitcom that would've been made by Sharedata(the parent company of American Video Entertainment) & released in 1990. Rumor has it that the game might've not gotten past the initial stage(which would be kinda bizarre considering the game WAS announced, but who knows?). Lucky Star (Atari Lynx): Not to be confused with the anime, this was presumably going to be some bizarro platformer of sorts... maybe? Madden Football (Intellivision): If this game DID exist, then had it been released it would've been HISTORICAL. Rap Attack (SNES): A supposed shoot-em-up that was listed on a Chip & Bits advertisement in a May 1992 Gamepro issue. It might've either never saw a release or was unlicensed. Or an inside joke. Shadows of the Wind (Game Boy/Game Gear/MS-DOS/Sega Genesis): An alleged 1990s game planned for those systems & likely unrelated to the novel from 2001. There is legit no proof that it exists at all online.

This video covers my favourite aspect and I love it! So well edited, excellent humour and great explanation about non-existed games. The last segment about "Sad Satan", where you talked about "Petscop" reminded me about "Catastrophe crow" or how people call it, "Crow 64". It's an interesting ARG about a lost Nintendo 64 game, created by Adam Butcher. If you never heard or saw it, I totally recommend you to do so. I appreciate your videos and hope to see that channel grow with more amazing videos and tons of subscribers.

okay, so when you said "die from sound', I instantly recalled a strange thing. way back in time, there was a weird, overly descriptive section of a magazine, maybe gameinformer, going on about a chef game for the nes that was like mario, except with a billion ways to die, unique animations for each death, only 1 level, and supposedly killing the winner of said level. I can't find the article, which upsets me, because a lot of the ideas described were *fantastic* and would be realizable today. update SO, it turns out that the name of the chef game is hitlrr's revenge. no wonder I couldn't find this stupid thing for years on end. up 2 hoagie's revenge.

Misfortune was interesting to me, and still is since recently I've looked at sites like The Cutting Room Floor, and even watched Oddheader, which showed some interesting content that were either easter eggs or just flat out cut content. So in some way, it seems like it could be plausible, you know minus it actually causing harm, which is what I like from a good creepypasta, giving you just that little thought that maybe it could be true, even when you know it isn't.

I feel like one of the biggest things that disproves Killswitch is that nobody ever copied the files from it after getting their hands on a copy of it. Especially if a game allegedly deletes itself when you die in it or finish playing it, you'd think someone would have tried copying the files for it to archive it as soon as they got their hands on a copy of it.

There's a reasonable line linking Obscure Horror Corner as the person who made the game, as well as him possibly being arrested for certain stuff a couple years later. For some reason though, the mods for the Sad Satan subreddit don't want people talking about it as it 'has no evidence' or smthn. Iirc, what links them together are various accounts which go by sekebear or smthn. The person who posted the game to 4chan with the virus used this username. And then someone defending Obscure Horror Corner on reddit also used this username, conveniently going dead the same time Obscure Horror Corner did. Another account with the same name on youtube I believe uploaded a video years prior titled Sad Satan. There's some more information which indicates the person behind the yt channel sekebear(or whatever it was called) was arrested a couple years after Obscure Horror Corner went dead, which came from one of the videos the channel uploaded. The info in the virus game files indicated that Obscure Horror Corner made it, as they both used the same first name. And some more links I can't remember. For whatever reason, this and the Jeff the Killer image gives me chills.

As an additional thing that suggests OHC was the one who created the game: he did an interview with Kotaku at some point, which was then updated with a statement from him that he intentionally guided people away from downloading the game (something to do with providing a wrong web address) because of additional/worse content in the game that he cut out of his videos. Less than 20 minutes after the article was updated, the virus version was uploaded onto 4chan. The timing seems to point towards someone waiting for the article to be updated before posting it, and really only OHC and the Kotaku people would know about it being updated Edit: Oh, and another thing. There's currently a listing on Steam for Sad Satan, due to come out May this year, and the publisher is listed as Obscure Horror Corner.
