Players explore through a first - person view and have limited physical actions such as running and jumping. Different items can be collected, some of which are required to perform various tasks before proceeding. Cans of bacon soup, a reference to the game 's creator TheMeatly and his partner Mike Mood, can also be collected for both achievements and to restore Henry 's health if he is injured. Combat is primarily focused around a variety of different weapons, such as axes, pipes and plungers. In - game enemies all have different strength levels and resilience to damage, forcing players to be tactical about keeping out of reach and striking when necessary. Henry can retreat inside a Little Miracle Station whenever one is nearby in order to recover or remain obscure. If he takes too much damage, he can escape from the ink that consumes him and respawn at one of the numerous statues of Bendy that act as checkpoints. Cardboard cutouts of Bendy, ( known as Bendy cutouts ) will also appear around the character acting as jumpscare attempts In addition, players can find numerous audio logs throughout the studio that give more story details about the fate of the studio and its employees, similar to the systems used in games such as BioShock. Some of these logs can be missed and require further exploration to uncover the secret areas they often reside in. Chapters Chapter One : moving pictures Henry, a retired animator, returns to his old animation studio, Joey Drew Studios, after receiving an invitation from his old friend and former employer, Joey Drew, to be shown something important. Having not been to the studio in thirty years, Henry finds the place seemingly abandoned. He eventually discovers the titular Ink Machine and decides to turn it on after concluding it is what Joey wanted to show him. During the repair attempts, Henry uncovers hints from old tape recordings from two repair workers, Wally Franks and Thomas Connor, which imply that Joey was taking part in bizarre occult practices. Henry suddenly encounters the gruesome discovery of a corpse in the shape of Boris the Wolf, one of the studio 's characters. After completing the necessary steps to fix the Ink Machine, he finds the path to the machine boarded up. Henry is then suddenly attacked by a humanoid ink monster who sports the same name of the studio 's most popular mascot, Bendy ( presumably a transformed Joey Drew ). Henry attempts to flee from `` Bendy '' as the studio starts to flood with ink and just before he reaches the exit, the floor collapses underneath him, sending him into a room below. Using an axe to clear the path and approaching a pentagram drawn on the floor, Henry is racked with a vision of the Ink Machine, a wheelchair, and `` Bendy '' before he passes out. Chapter two : the old song After waking up on a pentagram, Henry explores the studio 's music department and infirmary, encountering inky monsters called Searchers. Henry finds several more tape recordings of how the studio fared since his departure, including one by Sammy Lawrence, the musical director for the studio, who seemingly started to worship Bendy as a deity following the ink machine 's installment. Another tape recording from Norman Polk, the studio filmmaker, who hates everyone, mentions how Sammy continually disrupted daily recording sessions by attempting to enter a custom built sanctuary. The chapter also introduces Susie Campbell, a voice actress, who discusses her casting as Alice Angel, a new character in the studio. After activating the pump in Sammy 's office to drain the flooded stairwell of the music department blocking the exit, Henry is then knocked out from behind by Sammy. Upon waking up, he realizes that Sammy 's whole muscular body has been covered with ink and now wears a Bendy mask over his face. Hoping that Bendy, his lord, will restore his humanity, Sammy plots to sacrifice Henry to him. However, Sammy is killed by `` Bendy '' off - screen after he arrives. Henry escapes from `` Bendy '', only to encounter a living version of Boris, who is presumably a transformed Wally Franks. Chapter three : rise and fall After escaping from Ink Bendy, Henry works with the friendly Boris to find a way out of the studio. They find themselves in Heavenly Toys, the studio 's toy manufacturing department. They even hear a tape from Shawn Flynn, the studio 's toy maker. He explains that Joey got mad when he noticed that the Bendy plushies has crooked smiles. Briefly separated from Boris, Henry encounters a psychotic, aggressive ink creature who sports the same name of the cartoon character Alice Angel, implied via recordings that it is a transformed Susie, as audio recordings reveal she was unceremoniously replaced as Alice 's voice actress with Allison Pendle. Henry reunites with Boris via the Path of the Demon, and they reach `` Alice 's '' lair. There, Henry finds out that `` Alice '' has been harvesting the body parts of other Boris clones and other toons, in order to improve her deformed appearance. `` Alice '' offers Henry his freedom in exchange for a few errands and offers him tools to help. Henry carries out these errands, which involve gathering materials for `` Alice '', all the while evading `` Bendy '', Searchers, living versions of the studio 's Butcher Gang characters, and the Projectionist, who is a transformed Norman Polk with an inky body and a film projector for a head. After every task is complete, Henry and Boris are allowed to ascend in an elevator to escape, but `` Alice '' proclaims she wants to use Boris to fix herself, and makes the elevator plummet down and crash to Level S. As Boris tries to awake Henry, he is suddenly pulled away by `` Alice ''. Chapter four : colossal wonders Henry awakens by the remains of the crashed elevator and begins searching for Boris. He journeys through the studio 's archives, beginning to get hallucinations called horror visions, and discovers a large group of harmless ink monsters called the Lost Ones, hinted to be the studio employees transformed by the Ink Machine. In the archives is a recording from Susie, who states that Joey said he had an ' opportunity ' for her, furthering the possibility that she is `` Alice ''. After navigating through the vents of the archives, Henry finds himself in a large underground warehouse that houses prototypes for a Bendy theme park, Bendy Land. Created by park designer Bertrum Piedmont, more audio logs imply that Joey intended to take the credit for the park 's creation, leading Bertrum to become frustrated with the studio owner. Henry comes across a scrambler, actually Bertrum 's physical form, and kills him. Henry encounters the Projectionist again, fleeing into a bomb shelter - like Little Miracle Station, only to witness `` Bendy '' attack and decapitate his pursuer, dragging his corpse away and leaving his head behind. Upon unlocking the ghost train ride, Henry is taunted by `` Alice ''. He is attacked by Boris, who has been turned into a giant monster by `` Alice ''. Henry is forced to kill who used to be his companion, with Brute Boris ' body melting into ink. An angered `` Alice '' runs at Henry in a last - ditch attempt to kill him herself, only to be impaled from behind with a machete and dies. Her killer is revealed to be another Alice Angel named Allison Angel ( most likely a transformed Allison Pendle ), accompanied by another mechanized Boris named Tom ( most likely a transformed Thomas Connor ). Chapter five : the last reel The production trailer for this chapter was released on June 4th 2018. The chapter 's title was revealed during a video by theMeatly on June 12th, which was also when it was revealed that Chapter 5 was set for release in October. It will focus on Henry attempting to escape the studio and stop `` Bendy '' with the help of Allison Angel and Tom. Theories imply that `` Alice '' and Sammy will return in this chapter, despite having been killed. Characters The playable character and protagonist is Henry ( theMeatly ), a former animator of Joey Drew Studios, who returns to the studio thirty years after resigning from the company. The game is played through a first - person narrative, though Henry 's physical appearance has yet to be seen. Joey Drew ( David Eddings ), the CEO of the studio, invites Henry back to the studio via a letter. He introduced the Ink Machine to the studio, exhibiting peculiar behaviour around it. Joey is described as a `` man of ideas, but nothing else '' by Henry. Other characters view him as an unethical employer and perfectionist, uncaring towards the working conditions of his colleagues. Though acting like an eccentric dreamer, Chapter 4 proves this is just a ruse via a recording, Joey actually portrayed as a cynical, greedy individual. TheMeatly described Joey 's greatest and worst flaw as his `` unending desire to the make impossible possible. '' Other members of the studio 's staff are introduced via audio recordings. These include Wally Franks ( theMeatly ), the studio janitor ; Thomas Connor ( Mike Mood ), a repairman ; Sammy Lawrence ( Aaron Landon ), the musical director, who serves as an antagonist in Chapter 2, worshipping Bendy as a deity ; Jack Fain ( Bookpast ), a lyricist, turned into a `` swollen '' Searcher in the remastered Chapter 2 ; projector operator Norman Polk ( theMeatly ), transformed into a monster called the Projectionist, appearing in Chapters 3 and 4, a character that was almost left out of the final version of the third chapter due to time restraints ; accountant Grant Cohen ( Will Ryan ) ; Shawn Flynn ( Seán McLoughlin ), an Irish toy designer ; Bertrum Piedmont ( Joe J. Thomas ), a theme park architect, who appears as a boss in Chapter 4 ; engineer Lacie Benton ( Lani Minella ) ; and the voice actresses of the character Alice Angel, Susie Campbell ( Alanna Linayre ), and her replacement Allison Pendle ( Lauren Synger ). Susie plays a major antagonistic role in Chapters 3 and 4, appearing as a malevolent, deformed version of Alice Angel. Through audio recordings, Susie is revealed to have been unceremoniously replaced with Allison as Alice 's voice actress, causing her to blame Joey for deceiving her. Susie kills numerous cartoon characters and harvesting their innards to become a `` perfect '' incarnation of herself, specifically target Boris the Wolf. Allison appears in Chapter 4 as another version of Alice, referred to as `` Allison Angel ''. Throughout the game, Henry encounters numerous staff members, transformed into monsters made from ink, or resembling the studio 's animated characters. A number of these appear in Chapter 4, referred to as the `` Lost Ones '', but show no hostility towards the player. The stock enemy in the game are the `` Searchers '', though other variants appear in boss battles. The studio has created several in - universe cartoon characters who starred in silent animated shorts. The titular character is Bendy the Dancing Demon, the studio mascot, who appears as a recurring antagonist towards Henry throughout the game. Bendy 's name was in fact a typo, created when the 3D modeling program, Blender, saved the character 's model with the name. Boris the Wolf, Bendy 's nemesis in the shorts, appears as several individual characters in the game. In Chapter 2, the player meets a benevolent version of Boris, who accompanies Henry throughout Chapter 3. Several other copies of Boris are found dead in the first and third chapters, used by Susie to achieve her `` perfection ''. She captures Boris at the end of the third chapter, reintroducing him in a new, monstrous and aggressive form in Chapter 4, forcing the player to battle him in a boss battle. Another mechanized Boris appears at the end of Chapter 4, accompanying Allison. The aforementioned Alice Angel debuts in Chapter 2, who theMeatly describes as `` quite the gal ''. Chapter 3 introduced the Butcher Gang, a trio of characters who act as enemies to Bendy in his shorts - Charley, a monkey ; Barley, a pirate ; and Edgar, a spider. They appear as antagonists in Chapters 3 and 4 as mutilated versions of themselves, named `` Piper '', `` Fisher '' and `` Striker '', respectively. Other media Official videos for a series of animated shorts based on Bendy and the Ink Machine have been released from theMeatly 's YouTube channel, with animation done by animator Timethehobo. The first animated short, Tombstone Picnic, was released as part of the Chapter Three reveal trailer on August 11, 2017. The second short, Haunted Hijinx, was uploaded on October 31, 2017, to celebrate Halloween. The third short, Snow Sillies, was uploaded on December 24, 2017, in celebration of the holiday season. A Halloween crossover mod, Hello Bendy, was released for the game on October 27, 2017, for a limited time, featuring the Hello Neighbor antagonist who takes the role as Bendy in all previous three chapters and even Sammy Lawrence for Chapter 2. The mod 's menu features the advertisement of pre-ordering the game Hello Neighbor. The mod expired by the end of October. A mobile spin - off, Bendy in Nightmare Run, was announced on January 26, 2018 and is scheduled to be released on Android and iOS in August 2018. The game will introduce three playable characters in an endless running - style game, featuring four levels with a different `` boss '' cartoon monster, as well as collectable items and power - ups, including Briar Label Bacon Soup cans that act as currency to buy abilities and upgrades, and possible future updates. Co-creator Mike Mood has talked about wanting to do a crossover with Cuphead, a popular run and gun platformer that follows the same rubber hose animation art style as Bendy and the Ink Machine.
