So I played Receiver once, and I was going to cross an intersection in a hallway. There was three pathways. I stopped to choose which direction to go, and then I heard footsteps.

Either I'm going insane or I heard them. I wasn't moving when I heard them. There were only two. Then only two more. I was scared out of my wits. This couldn't ever happen. It was impossible. For the impossible to roll out into my ears; a human in a stale, robotic dimension. It was so scary on how I didn't know who it could possibly be, what he/she was doing there, if it was some other receiver....

Either way, I was scared out of my wits and I clicked the exit button as fast as my fingers can jab.

It was just so fucking scary on how none of this would normally happen. It felt as if there was some kind of murderer just to the right of the hallway. I didn't want to know. I seriously was shocked out of my wits just to hear other footsteps.

For something completely out of the ordinary to come out in the complete ordinary, so surprising...

David, if you coded in a secret human, you have certainly surprised me and made me scared for my life in Receiver. What if it tries to shoot? What would be it's reaction to you? What would it look like? What if it wasn't even human, but just was wearing shoes?

Is this a bad joke?

Nope. I truly (at least thought) heard footsteps.

It's an audio bug. There are no humans in the game; the source code is freely available online for Receiver, if you feel inclined to check.

Either way, I was scared.
But then again, what if?

I don't know, maybe you picked up a tape that plays Footsteps..

I'm pretty sure a tape wouldn't play that. It might've been a glitch, or some other open window.

Maybe the robots developed a way to create automatons with spare parts so they can kill you easily

(Honestly I think your story could do for a lil creepypasta)

Honestly didn't think of that.
But it's most likely a glitch: I paused the game and the footsteps continued.

I heard a man's voice. I made sure to pause the tape that was playing but still heard somebody moan almost. The tape was weird when I played it again. Maybe a bug?

No, that's the chanting.

[A clear video of the chanting]

Turn the volume up and skip to 1:00.

The chanting was.... Indian perhaps?

I really don't know but, it sounded indian.

There is some Indian chanting in the music, and that layer comes in every time you are listening to a tape. And each of the 11 times, it increases in volume, so the first couple times you may not hear it very well.

I find this funny. Very Herobrine-y

It would be hilarious if someone actually made mock up image of a Human in a window of Receiver, and below would be the text of the story.
