This is likely necessitated by the game’s scope and scale, which is largely masked with its surreal aesthetic. While combat can and will be a factor, the bulk of the experience is exploratory, as the game prefers to focus on atmosphere and narrative over action. B-E-N-D-Y D-E-M-O-Nīendy and the Ink Machine is a first-person horror game that sees the player exploring the damned studio, solving puzzles, finding clues, and avoiding dangerous horrors. From there, well, that’s where the other half of the title comes in. Henry arrives to find the studio, bathed in the same mild, yellow light as the Bendy cartoons themselves, unrecognizable. The game starts with a letter from Joey Drew himself, asking Henry to come to the studio after a 30-year absence. Henry left the studio in a bad way, heavily implied to be due to an all too familiar ownership dispute over the character. Bendy is a cartoon demon who serves as an obvious parallel to cartoon protagonists on the 1930s, such as Mickey Mouse or Betty Boop. In Bendy and the Ink Machine, players take on the role of Henry Stein, who was an animator at Joey Drew Studios 30 years ago, the legendary studio responsible for the titular Bendy.
