Another excellent Update. The Textmessages 1A!!! The Textures of the final Levels, I bet many didn´t even notice how different they were in the Original OHC Youtube Playthrough!!!

The Thing that happens after the Ghost Girl chased you, WOW. Your Remake does this now the best, way better than every other Remake I have played so far!!!

If I want to be very petty I could only add small Nitpicks here and there but that´s basically it.

That I think 70 seconds is too long for the Ghost Girl Scream, minor Nitpick at best. And that the fake Crash Overlay in the second Level should happen instantly without Loadingscreen...

And that´s basically it, In every other Aspect your Remake is perfect!!! Awesome Job with this!!!

Or that one yellow Lightbeam that is missing in your Remake in Level 1 and Level 2, so minor I bet many haven´t even noticed it.

You can see it in OHC´s Playthrough at 4:20 Level 1

and 5:43 Level 2

Thanks! I’m glad you think it’s the best remake to date. Regarding the 'JPG overlay' in level 2/3: you should take another look at OHC's video. You see, when the overlay ends, the player is already moving and the audio continues for a fraction of a second. This means the overlay is correctly placed in Level 3, as it allows the player to move while the image is still on screen.

If you watch closely, Level 2 and Level 3 are actually separate levels with different filters. Because of that, I can't remove either one, which means that extra loading screen is unavoidable unless I cut one of the levels entirely, which wouldn't be nice for a well-made remake.

As for the Ghost Girl trigger, I see where you're coming from, but I think it works better this way for now.

As for the yellow light, I tried to replicate it for hours a while ago, but I wasn't able to. Anyway, I didn't care much because it looked like a lighting glitch, haha.

That being said, would you want a 'custom build / personalized copy' for you? I could make a version where the Level 3 overlay trigger is moved to the end of Level 2, set the Ghost Girl scream to a 15-second trigger, or even add an extra zone and a ending. Let me know if you’d be interested in that!

A custom build just for me... That would be awesome!!! Sorry I didn´t expect this... you serious???

Oh man Thanks from the bottom of my heart!!! Wow I don´t know what to say of course I am interested!!!

THE HORROR ARCHIVER ALT12 days ago

btw. After replaying the Obscure Horror Corner Reupload on Archive.org. This one just combines Level 2 and 3 to one single Level and only uses Level 3´s Filters and Lighting.

Never picked up on this... But I kind of like it this way even if it´s not accurate, has it´s own pros and cons I suppose...

Sr. Kaloy12 days ago(+1)

Yeah, no prob! How changed do you want it? 1-Change the Ghost Girl scream to trigger in 15s 2-Add a secret ending screen and/or a secret zone 3-Replace lvl2 with archive.org's build lvl2 (maybe???) 4-?

THE HORROR ARCHIVER ALT12 days ago (4 edits)

First of. Wow Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart!!!

How I would like my Build...

Ah before I begin: Here is the Link to the Obscure Horror Corner Version Reupload from Archive.org I will mention here just in case: https://archive.org/details/game_20250111_202501

btw. the Reupload is from me, I downloaded this Sad Satan Version a bunch of years ago here on Itchio, but unfortantently this Version was patched with unnecessary Gore for some Reason that´s why I decided to reupload this older Build myself...

Ghost Girl Scream: 20 seconds, just to make sure...

Secret ending screen would be awesome. Easiest Way to do this would be by just adding Level 12 from Archive.org Build so I agree with you, fully on Board with this, it has also two more Levels after this and a banger you Win Screen that plays banger Ytse Jam by Dream Theater, if you add this this would be amazing!!!

Level 2 like Archive.org Build, that would be awesome!!! So combining Level 2 and 3 to one single Level and use only Level 3 Graphicsfilter and Lighting.

For me losing the Level 2 Filter is no huge Loss for me. So now I have the Fake Crash immediatly without any prior Loadingscreen Warning.

If this is too much put the Loadingscreen to the Beginning of Level 3 instead, that would also work for me. Oh I should explain better, Fake Jpeg Crash without Loading still in Level 2, after it´s done it loads Level 3 with a Loadingscreen.

Yeah I admit I am super petty with things like this, I am sorry...

Oh have forgotten one thing. A Level Select would also be nice... As far as I remember this is just one Toggle before compiling the Game.

Why didn´t I think of that before???

But anyway thanks one Final Time for this, I really appreciate this!!! You are the best!!!

Sr. Kaloy12 days ago(+1)

No problem, bro! :) Unfortunately, I can’t add a level selector for one specific reason: Terror Engine Reborn 2.1 was the version originally used to create Sad Satan. I’ve been hunting for that version, but it’s basically lost media at this point—impossible to find.

If I use version 2.5a to compile the game, the lighting and even the skybox textures change drastically because of the version jump (you can see this for yourself if you try to run Level 1 on Terror Engine Reborn 2.5a). That’s why I can’t implement a level selector or even create a 32-bit build, sadly... If only someone could get their hands on a copy of version 2.1...

Anyway, everything else is doable. So, just to make sure I’ve got this right:

Replace "Level 2" of this version with the "Level 2" from the archive.org version.
Set a 20-second trigger for the ghost girl’s scream.
Add a secret zone (plus some new audio and images).
An ending screen with "Ytse Jam" by Dream Theater playing in the background.

By the way, thanks for the review! I really appreciate it.

Absolutly perfect!!! Nothing else to add. Like I said before you are the best!!!

That you go out of your way of doing this... I am speechless....

That the Level Select thing doesn´t work is no big Deal... I have completly forgotten about this weird Thing while compiling... yeah Terror Engine can be a bitch...

Sr. Kaloy11 days ago (1 edit) (+1)

I'm working on it, but I ran into a bit of a snag... While modifying Level 2, I noticed an error: all the blocks had a height of 3.5 instead of 4, so I basically (almost) had to rebuild the level from scratch. This fix will be included in your build, but I also had to fix it in my main build. I expect it to be ready in a few days, as long as I don't get too bogged down with other stuff.

Edit: I also modified the walk/run speed in levels 2 and 3 to match the original game.

There it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lWn_yUiUFT1SqCf70MzjPQ5NkLb1503z/view?usp=shari...

(If there's any mistake or inconvenience, let me know. I didn't playtest the thing, BUT I re-checked all the scripts and things before uploading it. Hope that's the build u looking forward to play!)

THE HORROR ARCHIVER ALT9 days ago

Wow... first of you are awesome. I have played through the first three Levels, i will of course play the rest as well.

I love what you did to the Menus, absolutly love this!!! And finally Level 2. It is seamless now, finally no Loadingscreen here i love it.

This is exactly how i wanted it but it has some Issues: the Pictures don´t spawn correct or not at all.

The first part of the Jpeg Crash Music is missing, it only plays what in your Version would play in Level 3. Because of that the Music is out of synch. The Jpeg Crash Picture doesn´t work, it only shows a Questionmark. The Hans Picture later also doesn´t work here it simply shows nothing. Every Issue is Level 2 only.

If if find anything more I will add another Comment. But still, this is my favorite Version when the Bugs are fixed!!! Great Job!!!

So I continue now with Level 4, looking forward to the Rest!!!

Sr. Kaloy9 days ago(+1)

Shit! I am sorry! I literally forgot the build is so outdated that the images could change... I'll fix it when I can, sorry for the inconvenience
