Once we get far enough into the story to see upgraded scares, we learn that Bendy is not the loveable cartoon character he once was. It's a title that definitely follows the "less is more" formula of horror to maximize scares. There is good pacing to the title, as it utilizes minor scare tactics in the beginning to put the player on edge, like a Bendy cardboard cutout changing locations, or creepy noises coming from the surroundings. Immediately, Bendy and the Ink Machine does a great job of creating a chilling atmosphere to explore. Thus ends Chapter One, and we awaken later within the bowels of the studio to explore the mystery further.
Ink monsters emerge to chase us down, and any attempt to leave the studio is met with the floors crumbling to swallow us whole. We help Henry turn on the pumps for the ink machine, and all hell breaks loose. A mix of mad scientist and occult worshipping set the stage for horror. What's worse, Henry stumbles upon a horrifying experiment where it appears that Joey has been dissecting real-life cartoon characters from their Bendy series.
A giant ink machine sputtering black goop becomes a Frankenstein's monster within the studio. Joey, an old friend, has invited Henry to the studio to catch up, but Henry arrives to an abandoned studio, and after some exploration, he stumbles upon some horrifying sights. Even Bendy and his crew feel familiar with their old-school animation. Taking major inspiration from Disney's "Steamboat Willie" era, the graphics have a hand-drawn quality to them that add some personality to the game. We play as Henry Stein, a former animator at Joey Drew Studios who helped make the character Bendy a reality. Some gameplay hiccups detract from the title's quality, but it serves as a solid addition to the horror genre. A compelling story and atmosphere drive forward Bendy and the Ink Machine to keep players invested in this chilling mystery. The title stays true to the survival-horror genre by prioritizing running and hiding with some mild combat. Bendy takes an unorthodox turn and combines two very opposite genres, cartoons and horror, to make a terrifying experience. Originally released on the PC last year, the title been re-released with additional content for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Developed by theMeatly and Joey Drew Studios Inc., this episodic horror adventure takes us through a dark story surrounding an abandoned animation studio that was once active during the Golden Age of animation. No, this isn't a reference to Disney, but it does aptly describe survival-horror title Bendy and the Ink Machine. A loveable cartoon creation that has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world is fueled by a dark secret.
