The Plot

The story of Bendy and the Ink Machine is definitely a strong side of the production. The player assumes the role of Henry who is a former employee of an animation studio. The former boss of our hero invites him to the studio. Being curious Henry soon finds himself in the middle of the action. After arriving at the location, he realizes that his former boss was involved in dark forbidden occult rituals. He also discovers that he had gone missing in unexplained circumstances. Being a resourceful individual Henry decides to initiate the search.

The main antagonist and opponent in the game, who will make it difficult for you to unravel the mystery of the studio and prevent you from escaping the location, will be Bendy. He is an animated character who has been inexplicably transferred to the real world and now wants Henry dead.

The following episodes published by the creators move the story onward and let you become familiar with the past of the main character. You also learn about his associates and meet the cartoon characters created by the studio. Thus the game resembles the story about the animatronics told in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series.

The Game Mechanics

The game mechanics of Bendy and the Ink Machine are what can be expected of classic adventure games. The game is shown from the first-person perspective. The gameplay concerns mainly the exploration of the available locations and solving simple logic puzzles. Most of them require you to find finding the right items in a given room which you have then to use in order to manipulate the elements of the environment.

Bendy and the Ink Machine: the Graphics

The graphics and physical engine in this free horror game are fueled by a modified Unity engine. The three-dimensional graphics have been designed in a characteristic way that brings to mind American cartoons from the ’30s and ’40s of the 20th century. This immediately brings to mind Cuphead that uses a similar style. Playing Bendy and the Ink Machine, you can feel like the characters known from the classic animated films of the Disney studio.
