Walt wouldn't be happy.

I was due for a horror game wasn't I? Yes Mr. Wheel giveth to me Bendy and the ink Machine. This was actually technically 1 of 2 games I didn't get during the Steam Winter Sale. I actually got this game for free from the Epic Games Store. That and The Jackbox Party Pack 4. But it was part of my Winter Jackpot list anyway.

Looks like I play the role of a dude named Henry. Looks like his friend Joey wants to reunite and go back to the workshop. It's a very old looking animators workshop. Very resemblant of a Walt Disney production studio. There's a projector running in the distance. But no film is playing. Other than the leaking ink and the cryptic messages, it looks to be in good shape. Down to the ink machine itself, I pick up a couple batteries. But at first I don't know what I am doing with them. Though I will eventually find out. And also feel stupid for so. For now I just spend time goofing off with the several Bendy cutouts. Ooooh so scary. After a while of running around, I realize I was supposed to take those batteries and put them in a battery bank. From there, I could lift up the ink machine itself. Now it's a matter of turning the fucking thing on. A new door opens, letting me explore a lower level of the workshop. There's a bunch of reels and books down here. And one of those old ass punch in machines with the physical card. Nowadays you can punch in virtually on an app. Oh how easier life gets. Looks like our friend Bendy also left a few extra cans of Bacon Soup around. Yummy! One of the ways is however blocked off by some wood. So I guess I ain't going that way. Headed back up, I stumble across a tape recorder and player. Looks like a friend named Wally left for us a message. Seems like our friend Joey... was only a little crazy. Huh that sounds familiar. (COUGH) DISNEY (COUGH). Wally says that Joey would have people donate items to these pedestals to... "appease the gods"... okay maybe Joey is just a little extra crazy. At least it sounds like Joey is paying his staff. So that's good. But I can understand if you feel uncomfortable in your environment, then that's a valid reason to quit. I find what looks to be a small screening room... if that's even the right words... small theater room. With seats, a projector, and a big screen too. Perhaps animators would come down here to watch their works. It's also home to the ink pressure controls. This I can't interact with just yet. Going back up, one of the closed rooms I pass by... the uh... light just magically turns off... I'm sure maybe the bulb just went bad. Opening the door reveals just a small simple little music room.

I can turn on the radio to play some ragtime music. Catchy! At this point I'm just trying to see what else I can find. I head back to the art room here... okay I swear one of the drawings here is just... changing? Like I look away for 2 seconds and the drawing of Bendy looks different than how it did before. Huh... that's... a little odd? Maybe one of the trillions of Bendy cutouts here knows something about that. I think a lot of my time in this game is just me bumbling around. Until I find a new path... weird... plank of wood suddenly falling... but I do find the pedestal room. Looks like I have some items to seek. This is where I also access the ink machine power. But I can't do anything with it because the pressure is low. So there's shit I have to find. Including a teddy bear thingy, something to do with music, an ink jar, a gear, wrench, and book. Should be... easy... enough... I am sad I got spooked by a sudden Bendy cutout that appeared out of nowhere. Seems like our guy is a playful one. So it's a scavenger hunt. I figured the best first place to look was that little room with the radio. I pick up my first item. A record disk. And I put it on its pedestal. Now for the other shits. I find the gear in the room where I lifted up the ink machine. I find the ink jar in the art room. I find a book in the down stairs break room area. I play some darts... no that wasn't an item. I just took a game break. And I sucked ass. I find a Bendy plushy in the theater room. So all I need now is the wrench. Should be easy...? I can open the door next to the tape recorder... only to find a little Bendy peeping out of it. That playful dingus. But holy FUCK. I could not find that wrench to save my life. I looked in every room about 30 times. Left, right, high, low, I couldn't find it. I was able to open a small chest in the room containing Boris. But it had all of just a bone in it. But the embarrassing thing? I never realized it but I have passed by the wrench. Several... fucking... times... I thought maybe I somehow already had the wrench? I put all the other items on their respective pedestals. But when I went to the one for the wrench, it didn't light up. It was searching time. And did I ever search. Holy FUCK. I could not find that wrench to save my... wait I said that already. I thought maybe one of the Bendy cutouts would give me a clue? They didn't.

I hate that it had to come to this. But I had no other choice. I was going to spend the rest of the fucking stream running naked in circles. I had to look it up... son of a bitch it was in Boris' chest the whole time? Hell I even looked at Boris a couple times. How the fuck did I not see it? So now it's about putting high pressure on the ink machine. After Bendy being playful again, I find my way back to the theater room because I knew that's where the pressure machine was... so uh... the projector has turned on... I didn't touch it. Playing a very... innocent... animation of Bendy... no I can't turn off the projector. I can turn on the pressure-oh fuck the room is filling with ink. Gotta get out of there fast. Gotta get the pipes here fixed. Now I gotta find the controls for the ink machine. I do and turn it on. Hmm... the workshop has suddenly gotten a little darker... uh... I'm sure it's fine. Just got to locate the ink mac... oh it's boarded up? I can't enter? There's a giant goopy inky Bendy that probably wants my soul? I gotta run? Don't look back. Just fucking go. The exit is mere feet away from me oh fuck I have fallen through the floor. Well I guess I am not escaping. I drain the ink from the room I am in. And call it a night there. I've had enough with Bendy's playfulness. What... he might be scary goopy but he's still playful right?

All he wanted was a fucking hug.
