**"***PROPERTY OF JOEY DREW STUDIOS NOT FOR PUBLIC USE - PROTOTYPE FOOTAGE***"**
— **The watermark seen in the teaser throughout the whole video.**

***Bendy and the Silent City*** (abbreviated as ***BatSC*** or BatSS according to the former title , also known as ***BENDY: The Silent City***) is an in-development first-person shooter game that was leaked by theMeatly. On May 10th, 2023, the prototype footage was accidentally released to the Joey Drew Studios YouTube channel before being made private and deleted shortly after. In response, theMeatly clarified on Twitter that the game was not in active development at that moment in time, with the team instead having their focus on other Bendy projects. Later, theMeatly added that *Bendy and the Silent City* is not canceled, and that it is okay to discuss the leak publicly due to it already being widespread.

On January 1st, 2024, theMeatly once again addressed *Bendy and the Silent City*, stating that the game has seen additional development since the leak and that the game isn't abandoned, but is low priority and may be a long way off from releasing. The game was also interestingly referred to as *Bendy: The Silent City* in the tweet. It is unknown if the alternate title was an error or not.

All categories below contain information from the leaked footage.

***The footage also includes gore, so please be aware before unspoilering the categories.***

## Footage

The footage starts with the player entering a hallway that leads to the Toon Saloon. The player has one objective, "Find the Snitch". Just before they open the door they pull out a gun. Once they pull it out, they continue into the saloon. The Saloon has blood everywhere. Writing on the wall says "Screw Your Stains". The player then stands around for a bit and shoots bottles. They then continue on through another door that leads to another hallway. The hallway has ink on it and a glowing picture of a bomb. The player walks up to it and takes the drawing and somehow transfers it to their notebook. They then press the Y key and take the bomb out of the notebook.
The footage then cuts to outside the Toon Saloon. There is a cartoony man A-posing to the left of the saloon, and a cartoony woman standing to the right of the saloon. The woman has animations unlike the man.
The footage then shows more animations of possible characters.
A little later on, the footage shows 2 A-posing characters. The player shoots at them and pieces of their skin come off.
The footage then shows the models of the characters. with the skin layers off.
Then the Player is punching one of the characters, and finally the footage ends with the game's title.

	+ There is also a lot more to the footage than what the leak showed.

	+ The yellow is only seen with the title, the heads-up display and the button the player presses when pulling the bomb out of the notebook.
