Y/n's POV

After finding another tape in ,,In the Dark" mode with Baby, I got curious. Why do I need all of these? Is there, like, a secret level I can unlock if I collect all of them? Most importantly, where can I find the tapes I've already collected?

My second question got answered rather quickly. I just had to pull a lever in the Main Hub. On the top of the little screen that showed how many coins I have collected, were two tapes. I thought I can collect them, too. But I couldn't make them disappear, so I kept clicking on it, until my screen went dark. After that, I found myself in a space that looked like an empty void. Only a dimly lit desk, a little shelf with six tapes and a tape player were with me, and of course, a button that would make me return to the main menu if I pressed it.

"How can I play the tapes? Are they even playable, or just decoration?" I said thinking out loud.

I clicked on the tape that was labeled "1". It popped out of its space and landed on the player. After that, it began to play itself.

"Hello? Can you hear me? Don't exit this room, ok? This isn't a mistake. This room isn't a mistake. I had to hide these logs away from the core gameplay files in a place that only a beta tester would look and in a place where the files could be protected. I just really, really hope that the next development team finds this before the game is released to the public.

This game has some kind of malicious code in it that we haven't been able to fully contain or even understand for that matter. We're over-budget and out of time. But that's not the reason that we're shutting down. Listen, I have to keep this short so the file size will be small enough to fly under the radar. There are more. They may not be in order."

What? Malicious code?

I began to panic. Opening Windows Defender (or whatever antivirus system you use) I ran a scan. Nothing was out of the ordinary. I didn't understand. Was the girl in the tape lying? Let's find out. Tape No. 2.

"I saw it for the first time today. There was , I couldn't make out who it was, standing at the end of the hall. I thought it was just bugged out, so I made a note of it and kept playing. But then it was looking in the window. And not like Chica or Bonnie would. It was like it was actually looking in the window, seeing what I was doing."

Yep, she's definitely lying. Or playing the wrong game. But let's just keep listening to the tapes. Maybe it's a good creepypasta story?

"I heard a pretty heated conversation this morning between Dale - our manager - and someone else on the line. It really feels like this project is in trouble, in no small part because of the lawsuit I'm sure. There has to be a lawsuit. There's no way there isn't. It happened in this building just a few doors down from me. I think it's made worse by the fact that Jeremy tried to tell us something was wrong. But as a dev team, we all just saw it as a challenge to find what the problem was and fix it. Who could have known that- I have to go."

What? Who's Jeremy? And did I hear LAWSIUT?!

"Have you ever heard of a guillotine paper slicer? It sounds made up, but it's an actual piece of office equipment. I didn't even know we had one in the supply room. I guess they're more common at businesses that do a lot of graphic design work. I remember seeing one when I was still in school, and even then I knew how dangerous it looked. I was always afraid of losing a finger. That seems so silly now. Jeremy used to do design work. I guess that's how he knew it was there."

Okay, now I'm confused. How is a paper slicer important? Compared to a L A W S U I T!

"The drawers have been emptied out. Someone was here. I don't think it was spring cleaning either. No, there was plastic on the floor. Someone was definitely here during the night. It had to have been the client. I mean, they sent us that stuff in the first place with no explanation. Told us to scan it. Said it would expedite the process so we wouldn't need to program any path finding ourselves. It was a budget things, I guess. It was just junk- circuit boards and things like that. Looked pretty old. Somehow, though, there was usable code on some of it. It seemed to take hold by itself. Things started changing. But then, he started appearing. At least, that's what Jeremy said."

He? Started appearing? I was getting scared. One more tape to go.

"I came in early that morning. No one else was there. At least, that's what I thought. The supply room was lit. I didn't even notice Jeremy standing in the testing room as I walked past. The supply room was so bright - glowing from all the way down the hall."

That was short. But I was relieved it ended. I was starting to feel very uneasy. And... Had a bad thought. Who that "he" might be. My first and only suspect was a certain bunny boy. I decided to look him up.

None of my attempts made me smarter about him. No wonder he was that strange. He shouldn't be here, hell, even exist! I was frightened. I had a virus or something like that in my game! I need to delete it immediately!

When I started researching, I've already exit the game. I went to Steam and clicked on uninstall. An error popped up immediately, informing me that for unknown reason my game couldn't be removed, and they're working on fixing the problem (A/N: As far as I know, it's not a real error, I made it up). Guess I'll be keeping Help Wanted for a little bit longer.

Bloody hell! She found out... Heh. Guess I have no choice, but to speed up my plan... Soon, she will be living here... With me... And I finally won't be alone EVER AGAIN...
