## Plot

The plot revolves around The Muffets first entering the studio and trying to find and activate the Ink Machine. The Muffets has to find six items to start the ritual. After this, The Muffets goes to the Ink Machine room only to get jumpscared by Ink Bendy. The Muffets tries to get out of the studio but falls onto the basement area and uses the axe to cut down the wooden boards and go into the ritual room, only to faint on the ritual symbol painted on the floor afterwards, ending the chapter.

## Walkthrough

**"Discover Joey's Secret"**
Explore the workshop until locating the Ink Machine Room. After getting into the room, The Muffets needs to find two power cells in order to lift the Ink Machine, they are located in the same room where Henry is. After finding the power cells, must put the power cells in a little machinery and lift the Ink Machine up.

"**Turn On the Ink Machine**"
After rising the Ink Machine, The Muffets must get out of the room and go back to the gate that was closed before, then turn left and go to the break room.

"**Fix the Ink Machine**"
This is the first and only puzzle in the chapter. Before activating the Ink Machine, Henry needs to find six objects:
* Gear
* Bendy doll
* Book
* Ink jar
* Record
* Wrench

These objects are placed throughout specified locations in the map, after getting all the items head again to the break room and put the items on the pedestals.

"**Restore Ink Pressure"**
Once The Muffets has collected all of the objects, go to the projector room and restore the ink pressure.

**"Turn on the Ink Machine"**
Head back to the Power Room and pull the switch. Then, head back to the Ink Machine. The room will be blocked off due to planks. After getting closer to it, Henry will encounter Ink Bendy for the first time via a jumpscare, making Henry fall backward.

**"Escape the Workshop"**
After encountering Ink Bendy at the Ink Machine, run towards the exit. Henry will then fall through the floor, landing in a secret room.

"**Drain the Ink**"
The room The Muffets lands in is flooded with ink, and has to be drained by turning a pipe valve. As Henry goes further down, there will be two more flooded areas that will have to be drained to progress to the next area.

"**Clear a New Path**"
After walking down from the basement, grab the axe hung on the wall to chop through some wooden planks blocking the path to another room.
Once The Muffets has reached this room, break three more boards that blocked the door and then approach the pentagram room. Finally, The Muffets will have quick flashbacks of the Ink Machine, a wheelchair, and Ink Bendy before fainting to complete the chapter.
