In the year , Henry Stein, co-founder and former animator at Joey Drew Studios is invited back to the studio by his former friend and business partner, Joey Drew.
Not much is known about Henry's visit to the studio, but what we do know is that he was promptly killed and sacrificed to the Ink Machine by Joey, therefore ending up in the cartoon world and beginning his never-ending loop. Henry wakes up in a cartoon version of the studio and finds it abandoned and dirtied up with ink splotches everywhere, as well as a mutilated copy of Boris the Wolf, one of the studio's characters. Henry discovers that the messy ink was caused by the Ink Machine, which was installed sometime after Henry left.
Henry goes to fix and turn on the machine. After turning the machine on, Henry goes back to the machine but is attacked by an ink creature known as Ink Bendy, who closely resembles the studio's mascot, Bendy. Henry tries to escape as the studio fills with ink. As Henry reaches the door, the floor under him gives way and he falls into the ink-filled lower levels.
After draining the ink, Henry finds a room with coffins and a strange diagram on the floor. When he steps on it, he sees a vision of the Ink Machine, a wheelchair, and Ink Bendy, before passing out. Henry wakes up and searches for a way out. He eventually comes to the music department and discovers an exit at the bottom of some stairs, but the stairs are flooded and blocking the door. After battling ink creatures known as Searchers, Henry finds music director Sammy Lawrence's office and finds a pump switch inside that could drain the ink at the stairs, but his office is blocked by a massive ink leak.
Henry finds two valves that lower the ink pressure, one in Sammy's sanctuary and one in the infirmary, being held hostage by the studio's lyricist Jack Fain, who has been turned into a Swollen Searcher. After stopping the leak, Henry drains the ink at the stairs. While approaching the stairs however, he is knocked out by an ink corrupted Sammy.
After waking up, Sammy reveals he intends to sacrifice Henry to Ink Bendy, whom he worships as a deity, so that he can be free of the ink. As Sammy begins the sacrifice ritual, he is attacked by Ink Bendy and presumably killed. Henry breaks free and tries to escape, but is confronted by Ink Bendy.
After a chase, Henry locks himself in a storage room. Venturing into the room, he realizes there is someone in the room and tells them to show themselves. Henry becomes shocked when the figure reveals himself as a fully intact Boris the Wolf. Henry befriends Boris, and the two leave Boris' safehouse to find another way out of the studio.
They come across the toy department and find a back room full of merchandise for Alice Angel, the studio's lead female. Henry is then confronted by a twisted design of Alice Angel and she summons him to Level 9 of the studio. Henry and Boris reach Level 9, but are attacked by the Piper, a member of the Butcher Gang, minor antagonists of the cartoons. Henry finds Twisted Alice torturing a Piper and she orders him to fetch some items for her, in exchange for being allowed to escape the studio.
Henry must fulfill Twisted Alice's tasks, all the while being hunted by Ink Bendy, Searchers, the Butcher Gang, and the Projectionist, an ink corrupted version of Norman Polk, the studio's projectionist. After fulfilling her needs, she sends him to the elevator where he can leave, but forces the elevator to fall after discovering Boris, who she wants as he is the most perfect Boris. The elevator crashes on Level S. Boris wakes Henry up, and he is forced to watch as Twisted Alice drags Boris away.
Waking back up from passing out, Henry leaves the broken lift and explores the cavernous archives of the studio to find and rescue Boris. After Alice taunts Henry about Boris' capture, Henry comes across a lounge filled with Lost Ones, people infected by the ink who show no hostility.
After fleeing through the vents, Henry discovers that Joey planned to open a Bendy-themed amusement park called Bendy Land, with the help of famed amusement park designer Bertrum Piedmont. Henry deduces that the haunted house attraction is the way to go and traverses the storage area to find the switches to power the ride up. He activates the four power switches, while in the process sneaking past the Butcher Gang, defeating an ink corrupted Bertrum, who has merged himself with an octopus ride, and escaping from the Projectionist, who is decapitated by Ink Bendy.
Once on the haunted house ride, Henry is shocked to discover that Alice has transformed Boris into a brute monster. After a brief struggle, Henry is forced to kill Boris, who fades away. An enraged Twisted Alice tries to attack Henry herself, but is killed from behind by another version of Alice Angel and a robot-handed clone of Boris. The new characters, Allison Angel and Tom, lock Henry in a makeshift prison. Allison gives Henry a Seeing Tool, which is used to see hidden messages, and Henry sees a message that says Allison will leave Henry for dead.
Henry manages to escape the prison after discovering a secret room with a weapon behind the wall, thanks to the hidden messages. Once he escapes, Henry rides on a barge through a river of ink, with a massive Bendy hand chasing behind him.
Henry arrives in a shanty town built by the Searchers and the Lost Ones. There, he is confronted by the forsaken Sammy, who believes Henry is Ink Bendy and tries to take revenge for almost killing him. Sammy gets unmasked by Henry, but Sammy overpowers Henry and tries to kill him, but Sammy is killed by Tom. Tom equips Henry with an axe. With Sammy out of the way, the Searchers and Lost Ones he was keeping at bay become violent and start attacking.
Henry, Allison and Tom work together and defeat the wave of monsters. Henry leads the way onward, but falls into the administration offices on a lower level. Henry tries to escape through the film vault, but the entrance is flooded. Henry works to reconnect the pipe system to drain the ink, by hiding from the Butcher Gang.
Once in the film vault, a message reveals that a film reel has been stolen by Ink Bendy. Allison and Tom arrive and join Henry on his quest to find Ink Bendy. They discover that Ink Bendy's lair is a massive version of the Ink Machine.
Henry is forced to go in alone, as the entrance is surrounded by ink, which could kill Allison and Tom. Inside, Henry finds a message from Joey, who talks about his downfall and how Henry can fix the darkness by showing Ink Bendy the stolen reel, titled "The End". Ink Bendy arrives and transforms into a massive monster, known as Beast Bendy.
Beast Bendy knocks Henry into another room and gives chase. Henry escapes Beast Bendy and returns to his throne. In a flashback, Henry arrives at Joey's house, who talks about how the two went on different paths, and how Joey's path burned because of his ambition. He summons Henry to the studio and the events of the beginning of the game play again. In a post-credit scene, the camera zooms in on a signed picture from Henry of Bendy, Boris and Alice Angel.
Offscreen, a young girl asks her "Uncle Joey" to tell her another story. The idea for Bendy and the Ink Machine came from theMeatly pondering the idea of a world that resembled a cartoon sketch. As he started developing the idea, he realized that it felt "creepy" and needed a monster that inhabited it.
Bendy was created to be that monster, but did not have a name. When the character finally received a 3D model, the name was chosen from a typo while saving it in a 3D modeling program, Blender. The first chapter, Moving Pictures , took five days to be finished. The third chapter, Rise and Fall , was announced on production in May It was developed by six people in at least four months, [17] [24] and the reason for its long development, according to Mike Mood, was because he needed to create a framework "to make the process smoother".
The fourth chapter, Colossal Wonders , was firstly confirmed in production on November 17, Originally scheduled for April 28, , it was delayed due to technical problems on Steam that disallows to make releases during weekends. The emprise also confirmed that the chapter would be received for free for only players who have bought the previous chapters. Chapters , which were previously available as downloadable content, became free, while the game became paid.
On January 29, , theMeatly officially announced that Bendy and the Ink Machine would be released to consoles. According to the aggregating review website Metacritic , Bendy and the Ink Machine received "mixed or average reviews" on its console ports. The game's storyline and setting were mostly praised.
Most reviewers noted that the game's art style resembles the " Steamboat Willie " era of Disney's cartoons, [46] with PlayStation LifeStyle considering Bendy as an "obvious parallel" between other cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse or Betty Boop.
Most websites considered the game's gameplay mechanics repetitive. TheXboxHub considered the game's combat mechanics "frustrating", as most of its enemies die in only one hit. However, it also stated that the boss battles in the game feel "intense". VGCultureHQ considered the game's chapter lengths "too short" and without a "fair balance", considering that it could be completed in four hours, considering that the first and final chapters could be "finished in just under a half-hour", while the other three chapters "may take longer".
One considered the third chapter's task list as a "lazy attempt for developers to pad the game without adding any additional content", and that if future chapters could focus more on the characters development, "they could've truly be masterpieces". The game has been frequently compared with BioShock , due to, according to PlayStation LifeStyle , the game having an "antique style". However, it also compared it to Resident Evil , and Outlast , considering it a "fusion".
By , the game achieved thousand downloads on Steam, according to Player. YouTube was a big contributor for the popularity of Bendy and the Ink Machine. Many gamers where seen making "Let's Play" videos, being one of them Markiplier [57] and Jacksepticeye, and reached millions of views. This caused the game to have a giant fanbase, which Mood described as different from the most fanbases, calling other games' fanbases sometimes "toxic.
It also surged merchandise from the game, such as toys, shirts, etc. A mobile spin-off called Bendy in Nightmare Run was announced on January 26, The game is an endless runner style game involving the player characters of either Bendy, Boris, or Alice collecting Bacon Soup while running away from large bosses chasing the player character. It revolves around Boris the Wolf searching through the different levels of Joey Drew Studios looking for supplies for his safehouse while escaping Ink Bendy, Twisted Alice, the Projectionist, the Butcher Gang, or Borkis, a yellow-eyed version of Boris.
