## Summary

*The Ink Demon is out there… and he hears everything...*

*The exciting third chapter of "Bendy and the Ink Machine" has finally emerged.*

*The dark journey into the depths of Joey Drew Studios continues with new surprises and chilling scares.*

*This time there’s no escaping the monsters creeping the halls. Stand and fight, or run and hide.*

*In this Chapter Three DLC, discover the secrets of angels, solve the riddles of the ink, and help Henry survive in this terrifying, forgotten cartoon studio.*

*But above all, fear the machine.*

The terror is coming to the surface.

## Plot

Henry wakes up in Buddy Boris' safe house quarters. Henry slowly gets up from his folding bed, looking over at the "*Sheep Songs!*" poster to his left. Henry proceeds to stand up and walks to the kitchen area to find out that the safe house's exit door lever is not there. Realizing that Buddy Boris has the lever handle, Henry decides to make a bowl of Bacon Soup for Buddy Boris' meal in exchange for the lever.

After the deal being concluded, Henry and Buddy Boris leave the safe house to explore the studios in hope to find a way out. They enter a dark hallway full of mechanisms and machinery. Henry uses the flashlight he found on a desk to make their path. After exiting the area, Henry and Buddy Boris are standing in front of a mechanical closed door. Henry gives the flashlight to Buddy Boris, who needs it to explore the vents in hope of finding a way. Buddy Boris apparently finds a way to open the mechanical gate, letting Henry journey further in the studio.

Henry enters the toy department and meets a new ink creature, Twisted Alice, who lets him through to the inner levels, where he gets reunited with Buddy Boris at an intersection. Buddy Boris gives him a Gent Pipe as a weapon, and the two locate and enter the Lift on Level K. Twisted Alice brings them down to her area, Level 9, and tells Henry to complete a few favors for her, of which involve collecting machine parts, destroying Bendy cutouts and taking the Lift down to Level 14 to collect supplies. Henry faces new entities along the way, including the Butcher Gang (Levels K, 11 and P) and the Projectionist (Level 14). After finishing, Alice pulls down the lift, accuses Henry of stealing Buddy Boris from her and pulls him away from Henry.

## Trivia

* Before all five chapters were merged into a completed edition, *Chapter 3* costed $5.99 for USA, £3.99 for UK, 5,99€ for Eurozone, R$12.00 for Brazil, and $7.99 for Canada.
* Brightening up the announcement trailer reveals an ink-coated microphone from the right side of the video.
	+ A flashback of The Ink Demon from *Chapter 1* appears for a split second.
* Since from September 19th to September 26th, 2017, Bendy's official Twitter account started posting letters that spell out a message "**BEWARE MORE THAN BENDY**".
* The title of the chapter is a pun for "rise and shine" and "Fall (Autumn)" as the game is released during Fall.
	+ Also can be due the fact that Henry wakes up at the beginning of the chapter, then falls with the elevator at the end of the chapter.
* Prior to patch 1.3.1, most of the tasks had the number "four" in them. This was possibly a reference to the Chinese or Japanese translation, which means death.
	+ In addition, the fourth task, which was to destroy four Bendy cutouts, remained as the fourth.
* On Mike Mood's Twitter, he explains the reason behind *Chapter 3's* long development is due to him creating a framework/pipeline to smooth out the process.
* The three teaser screenshots of chapter 3 do appear in-game, but are heavily modified.
	+ "The Ink Demon is out there," teaser appears to be an earlier version of the two pathways in Level P. This could be wrong, however.
	+ The "He's watching you," teaser is outside of Alice's Chamber.
	+ The "Darker, Deeper, Inkier," teaser is outside the safehouse, which interestingly has an additional coffin, despite none appearing on Level K.
