Authenticity
Many speculated that Jadusable made the story up and his videos were the product of clever ROM hacking. Eventually, some with this experience demonstrated that all of the effects shown in the videos can be done with a typical emulator. Eventually, Jadusable himself admitted to have faked the whole thing, solidifying its status as a creepypasta. Those YouTube fans who were unaware of this were presented with a surprise when he uploaded a video titled "king kong.wmv" on April Fools Day, angering those who still thought of his story as legitimate.
