History NightmareFuel / BendyAndTheInkMachine

* While in the studio, through audio recordings, we finally learn the truth of Ink Bendy's origin. It turns out that Ink Bendy is actually not a monstrous form of Joey Drew at all, or any person for that matter, but actually a ''literal'' demon. Ink Bendy was Joey's first attempt at creating a living cartoon character with the Ink Machine. However, because Ink Bendy had no soul, he came out as a gangly and misshapen abomination with a BlueAndOrangeMorality and, for whatever reason, an insatiable desire to slaughter other ink creations (and Henry). And instead of finding a proper way to destroy it, Joey just left it to wreak havoc on his traumatized, horrifically mutated employees until he could send Henry to clean up his mess.
** This line from Joey Drew makes it all the worse:

* After the boat ride, Henry comes across the village of the Lost Ones... and has an unexpected reunion with his old pal Sammy Lawrence. Only Sammy's not too happy to see Henry. [[SanitySlippage Being betrayed and nearly killed by Ink Bendy has turned the soft-spoken cultist into a]] [[AnAxeToGrind literal]] AxCrazy lunatic complete with a VoiceOfTheLegion and he's all too happy to take his rage out on Henry, leading to an impromptu boss fight. After knocking Sammy's mask off ([[NoFaceUnderTheMask revealing him to be completely]] [[TheBlank faceless]]), he knocks Henry to the ground and prepares to kill him. [[BigDamnHeroes Thankfully, Allison and Tom arrive in the nick of time.]]

* After you complete all of Twisted Alice's tasks, she finally agrees to let you go. As you return to the elevator and start ascending, with Buddy Boris in tow, you seem well on your way to freedom. But then [[MoodSwinger Twisted Alice]] starts [[ProneToTears crying,]] [[MoodWhiplash which then transitions into]][[EvilLaugh laugher...]] then the elevator begins crashing downwards at an alarming rate. As it turns out, Twisted Alice was never really going to let you go...

* When you find out what happened to Norman Polk, the studio's projectionist. He is no longer human, and has become an ink-drenched, mechanical abomination with a running projector serving as his head and wires connecting from the projector to his back. Whatever human consciousness he had is long gone, reducing him into a feral monster that constantly stalks the dark studio halls in search of prey, ironically living up to his role as a projectionist.

* The Chapter 4 update also comes with a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bendy-and-the-ink-machine/images/e/ef/CH4Bendy3D.png/revision/latest?cb=20180501112129 new redesign]] for Ink Bendy and it manages to make him look even more terrifying than before. In general, his new look seems to be a twisted fusion of his old beta design and his current look. Ink Bendy has a skinnier torso, making him look positively gaunt to the point that [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bendy-and-the-ink-machine/images/a/af/Pascal-cleroux-2018-05-02-01-58-28-rig-bendy-ch5-max-autodesk-3ds-max-2017.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180504222444 his spine is sticking out grotesquely]], ''looking like the spikes of that of a reptile's'', his perpetual SlasherSmile is wider and more deranged (helped by the fact that his head is smaller and more human sized), and the ink on his body is far more detailed and is seen dripping off his body. All in all, Ink Bendy's new look manages to give the Ink Demon a far more horrifying visage.

* [[GainaxEnding The ending.]] It is easily the most [[MindScrew mind-bending]] ending in a horror game. After defeating Beast Bendy, Henry awakens to find himself in an apartment. There, we finally come face-to-face with Joey Drew himself, [[CharacterDevelopment who has become a kinder and gentler man with age.]] However, the truly frightening part comes after his monologue where he asks Henry to come down to the studio. Henry goes through the door... ''[[HereWeGoAgain and finds himself back at the entrance of the studio]]''. [[FromBadToWorse And it only gets worse from there.]] Playing through the game a second time using the searching device that Allison gave you reveals hidden messages all over the studio. Messages like TURN BACK or I ALWAYS FALL that seem to be written by Henry himself. All this leads to a horrifying implication: '''''Henry is trapped in a [[StableTimeLoop never-ending time loop]], unable to escape and forced to relive the horrors of the studio again and again.''''' And judging by the number of tally marks seen at the beginning of Chapter One, he's been at this routine ''hundreds'' of times by now. AndIMustScream doesn't even '''''begin''''' to describe it.

* The Chapter 4 update also comes with a [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bendy-and-the-ink-machine/images/e/ef/CH4Bendy3D.png/revision/latest?cb=20180501112129 new redesign]] for Bendy and it manages to make him look even more terrifying than before. In general, his new look seems to be a twisted fusion of his old beta design and his current look. Bendy has a skinnier torso, making him look positively gaunt to the point that [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bendy-and-the-ink-machine/images/a/af/Pascal-cleroux-2018-05-02-01-58-28-rig-bendy-ch5-max-autodesk-3ds-max-2017.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180504222444 his spine is sticking out grotesquely]], ''looking like the spikes of that of a reptile's'', his perpetual SlasherSmile is wider and more deranged (helped by the fact that his head is smaller and more human sized), and the ink on his body is far more detailed and is seen dripping off his body. All in all, Bendy's new look manages to give the Ink Demon a far more horrifying visage.
** Looking at him closer up, one can see that Bendy's mouth may not emote, but it does move. It jitters around on his face like a dirty film projection, as if he's only choosing to have it there to mock or terrify anyone who encounters him.

*** As of the Chapter Three update, you can open the door to the left of Wally Frank's recording. A Bendy cutout is in there and it peeks out at you as you open it. And the door will be locked if you try again... And it's still staring at you...

** The escape sequence is also revamped, with Henry backing away from Bendy and falling to the floor, the shutters closing herding Henry to the exit and stemming the waves of ink, pipes bursting and the building shaking like it's about to explode and the exit door ajar to provide false hope.
* Upon being jump scared by Bendy, ink immediately begins pouring down from the ceiling and walls around you, flooding the studio in a matter of seconds. In the update that came with Chapter 3, everything gets dark as ink rains down inside the whole studio, threatening to drown you as you run for the exit.

* Just before you trigger Bendy's jumpscare in the Chapter 4 update, you see ''footprints leading from the Ink Machine to the nearest door''.

* There are far more [[ApocalypticLog cassette tapes]] littered around the basement. Some are pretty harmless, talking about things like a new voice actor getting excited for her new role as a new character in the Bendy cartoon, but then you find one that has a deranged employee called Sammy talking about how "[[ArcWords he will set us free]]". His entire speech sounds like a cultist praising his deity. That's creepy enough as is... but then the tape ends, ''[[OhCrap and Sammy keeps talking]]''.

** Chapter Three seems to shed some light on this. "Alice" says that she had been "returned to the ink", and that the ink is a "well of voices". Perhaps Henry becomes [[AndIMustScream a victim of this]], becoming just another voice in the ink?
* When playing the organ, there is a very faint cry, groan or whimper heard after the organ stops being played. It might be the Searchers... or [[NothingIsScarier something]] [[ParanoiaFuel else]]...

** As of Chapter Three, Alice states that the Bendy chasing you gets angry when his cutouts are destroyed. So ''that one'' does, but.. the situation surrounding the cutouts themselves is still a little ambiguous...

** Sammy sounds like a cultist the whole way, praising Bendy as a god. He states that he plans to sacrifice you to Bendy, which would hopefully cause his "god" to free him of his warped body. What's more, one of his lines implies that he ''recognizes'' Henry, so they could once have been friends a long time ago. Sammy leaves the room, and is immediately attacked and either murdered or tortured by Bendy. You then have to run away from the ink demon down several boarded-up halls, frantically chopping away for your life to escape. [[FromBadToWorse Then your axe breaks, leaving you without a weapon.]]
** Even worse is the appearance of Bendy himself (as pictured above). Before the revision of Chapter 1, he looked like a nondescript pile of ink with a human head, but after the chapter's update and the inclusion of Chapter 2, he now has a mostly-formed humanoid body, complete with gloves and a bowtie.

*** The update that came with Chapter 3 now has you running through a mazelike corridor as you run from Bendy. Any wrong turn can lead you to a dead-end where Bendy can corner and kill you.

** The ending of "Tombstone Picnic", which is entirely based on NothingIsScarier. A large, humanoid shadow looms over Bendy, who's backed into a corner and looks awfully scared and helpless, and then the short abruptly ends. There's speculation from this that the Bendy we saw isn't in control and that it may be {{Foreshadowing}}...

** As Henry appears to be hiding, [[JumpScare Bendy jumps at the screen]] at the end.

* Inked!Alice's EstablishingCharacterMoment. We are lead into a recording room filled with television screens that play what seems to be Alice's ThemeSong. This goes on for quite a while, until... '''''[[JumpScare "I'M ALICE ANGEL!!!"]]'''''
* The Alice/Susie hybrid. It has a grotesque TwoFaced look, with the right side being an UncannyValley "angel's" face and the other seemingly molten, with a distorted eye that is either a half-formed "pie eye" from classic rubber hose animation, or more likely, a large, empty socket, and melted/torn-off lips exposing her teeth at all times. Her normal voice has a creepy VoiceOfTheLegion effect going on, but every so often, Susie's voice breaks through, causing her to speak in a chillingly human voice that sounds all too much like a frightened young woman.

* The ink room containing multiple dead copies of Boris and The Butcher Gang on operating tables or floating in the surrounding ink pool. "Alice" states that their insides were harvested to make her more beautiful. The copies that weren't perfect were discarded.
* "Alice" describing her first attempt in becoming Alice Angel. She mentions being stuck in the puddles of ink, hearing waves of voices and feeling her own mind scrambling bit by bit. After being "born" from one of the ink monsters, she was a wiggling lump of ink. Being born a second time gave her her current disfigured appearance.
** Heck, "Alice" herself. Her mood swings make her a little unpredictable, but her constant mood, murderous and callous, is the more unnerving.
* Bendy. He still hunts for you and you never know when or where he'll emerge from.
** When doing "Alice"'s tasks, Bendy can teleport through ink portals at random and even spawn close to you. When he is nearby, the area around him darkens and the walls and ceilings dribble with ink, not to mention the player can hear a heart beating as a warning sign of Bendy's presence. To avoid getting detected, you have to avoid or hide from Bendy in The Little Miracle Stations littered around. If he spots you, Bendy's signature ScareChord plays and he will pursue you relentlessly unless you hide in the Miracle Stations or escape into the lift to another floor.
** What's even worse is that you '''can't''' fight him with your weapons, not even with the Tommy gun. Even when you are armed, Bendy is invincible and can ''still'' instantly kill you.
** When you destroy the last Bendy cutout in the area, Alice reveals that Bendy hates it when she destroys the Bendy cutouts and instructs you to hide. By that moment you realize that by destroying the Bendy cutouts, you've [[BerserkButton angered]] Bendy. What's worse is that he'll spawn near or in the area where you destroyed the last cutout and you have several seconds to move out or hide.

** The most unnerving part, however, is the tape Norman recorded himself. It's like he knew and accepted what was going to happen or was happening to him.
** If he spots you, Norman will let loose a horrifying roar and attack you if you don't hurry and hide inside a nearby Little Miracle Station.
** You have the option to ''kill'' Norman, [[MercyKill putting him out of his misery in a way]]. However, he takes a lot more hits than other enemy faced beforehand. If killed, he will release a high-pitched scream of agony before shutting down and collapsing to the inky floor, lifeless.
*** And then he comes back in Chapter 4...

* After you complete all of Alice's tasks, she finally agrees to let you go. As you return to the elevator and start ascending, with Boris in tow, you seem well on your way to freedom. But then [[AxCrazy Alice]] starts [[EvilLaugh laughing...]] then the elevator begins crashing downwards at an alarming rate. As it turns out, Alice was never really going to let you go...
-->'''Alice:''' Did you really think I'd let you steal from me?! Did you really think I'd just let you go?! No Henry! I know who you are! And I know why you're here! And you will not stop what needs to be done! Now come down and '''''bring me back my Boris!''''' It's the most perfect Boris I've ever seen and I want it! I need it. I need its insides so I can be beautiful again! Don't you understand? Don't you get it?! Give him to me!! Or better yet, I'll take him! Once...''you're''...'''''dead!'''''
** It doesn't get much better after the crash. As you lie there motionless, Alice slowly emerges from the darkness while Boris tries in vain to rouse you. Unable to warn your new friend, all you can do is watch helplessly as Boris is dragged into the darkness, visibly terrified and unable to scream for help.

* Both of Bendy's appearances in this chapter. Both times he appears, he seems to know exactly where Henry is (he intentionally scares Henry in the vent, and peers directly into Henry's Miracle Station after killing the Projectionist), yet both times, he does nothing to harm him, instead walking away and completely ignoring him, a far cry from his behavior in the previous chapters. Which begs the question: what exactly does Bendy ''want''?
** Though it's also admittedly rather [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments awesome]], Bendy's fight with the Projectionist only underscores just how dangerous he is not only to Henry, but to ''anyone or anything'' unfortunate enough to cross his path. After chasing Henry into the Little Miracle Station, the Projectionist peers in only to be stopped by Bendy, leading to a fight between the two ink monsters. Though the Projectionist gets in a few good hits, [[CurbStompBattle he is ultimately no match for the Ink Demon]], who proceeds to '''''[[OffWithHisHead rip his head off like the wings of a fly.]]''''' Bendy then peeks into the station as if he's about to attack Henry, but instead leaves, dragging the Projectionist's headless corpse with him. Beware the Ink Demon indeed.
* Grant Cohen's RoomFullOfCrazy: writing on the wall? Check, audio log with crazy gibberish? Check, inexplicably crooked vents and objects in the room? That's a new one.

* The Archive room: you enter to find what look like Searcher statues around a Bendy statue, then as you look for switches disguised as books the whole room goes crazy as Henry starts to hallucinate... and the searchers are gone.
** Within that room, you find Susie's tape. Suffice to say, she sounds and ''acts'' a lot closer to how "Alice" is than the Susie we were introduced to.

** Having to repair a machine by tearing a boil of ink from an immobile searcher and put it in a machine to fabricate a gear.

** Not helped when you get into the vent and you turn around to see several of them staring in at you.
* Bendy doing a JumpScare when you crawl through the vents.
* The hostile sentient octopus ride that is the result of [[https://i.gyazo.com/thumb/1000/de7d1e001b42bdcd8106370d7374ed12-png.jpg Bertrum Piedmont]] being fused with it. After lashing out at Joey Drew over the park he created for him being scrapped, the poor guy is killed and turned into this mechanical monstrosity that attacks any who draws near. And at the center of the ride, you can see Bertrum's face, staring lifelessly at you and twitching as he attacks.
* The introduction of Alice's [[https://i.gyazo.com/221e165c5c47160d982113ea2339d383.png Brute Boris]]. Henry is riding the ghost train ride as Alice taunts him, the doors in front of him open to reveal darkness, then a large pair of arms grabs his train car and Brute Boris looms over him, Henry panics and Boris tosses the train car and Henry across the room, boss fight time.
* As Alice comes charging at you to attack, she is suddenly stabbed in the back with a sword. Thankfully, her assailant is at least passive towards you.

* [=theMeatly=] posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_a3e3GJ67o a video]] on his channel. It's only 82 seconds long, but it packs a lot into that amount of time. The video consists of an audio recording of Henry, saying that somebody has taken him prisoner, and that there is a "secret in the shadows." His recording is interrupted by... something (most likely doors) opening... then it just cuts out.

* When Allison gives you the tool to see invisible messages, what is the first one you find? SHE WILL LEAVE YOU FOR DEAD. And sure enough, when "Bendy" is heard coming, and Allison and Tom decide to drop you like a hot potato because they can't free Henry from his prison. What makes this worse is that Tom has an axe that could smash down the boards in the way, ''but he doesn't even bother trying because he thinks you're dangerous.''

* After the boat ride, Henry comes across the village of the Lost Ones... and has an unexpected reunion with his old pal Sammy Lawrence. Only Sammy's not too happy to see Henry. [[SanitySlippage Being betrayed and nearly killed by Bendy has turned the soft-spoken cultist into a]] [[AnAxeToGrind literal]] AxCrazy lunatic complete with a VoiceOfTheLegion and he's all too happy to take his rage out on Henry, leading to an impromptu boss fight. After knocking Sammy's mask off (revealing him to be completely faceless), he knocks Henry to the ground and prepares to kill him. [[BigDamnHeroes Thankfully, Allison and Tom arrive in the nick of time.]]

* While in the studio, through audio recordings, we finally learn the truth of Bendy's origin. It turns out that Bendy is actually not Joey Drew at all, but actually a ''literal'' demon. Bendy was Joey's first attempt at creating a living cartoon character with the Ink Machine. However, because Bendy had no soul, he came out as a gangly and misshapen abomination with a BlueAndOrangeMorality and, for whatever reason, an insatiable desire to slaughter other ink creations (and Henry). And instead of finding a proper way to destroy it, Joey just left it to wreak havoc on his traumatized, horrifically mutated employees until he could send Henry to clean up his mess.

* Near the end of the chapter, Henry is forced to head to Bendy's lair. The Ink Machine that's been seen descending down into the depths of the studio? '''That's just a small part of a larger Ink Machine.''' And when we get inside it, we see test tubes for Joey's sick experiments, some containing Lost Ones.
** When reaching the inner sanctum of the machine and listening to an audio recording left by Joey, Bendy appears and [[OneWingedAngel transforms into a hulking gorilla-like monster with long arms and massive fangs]]. '''''And you still can't hurt him.''''' The entirety of the "boss fight" consists of Henry running from Bendy and luring him back to the throne room to play the film reel meant to destroy him.

** Even worse is what happens if they manage to overwhelm you: The screen goes black, and you hear the sounds of Henry choking and gurgling on ink as he's slowly drowned in it. What exactly happens after that? is he turned into one of them or does he end up much like Sammy Lawrence?

* The room full of the Lost Ones. You come across a room with a Lost One on a balcony talking to himself, walk into the door underneath and you find '''a whole crowd of them]''' [[NonMaliciousMonster Fortunately, these are sane.]] Unfortunately, they can't leave.

* One of the audio logs is from a mechanic that used to work for Mr. Piedmont and becomes worried of the Bendy animatronic that's being worked on. You can find it lying on the table next to the recording, [[NothingIsScarier it doesn't move]] [[HostileAnimatronics but judging by everything else that's happened...]]

* The ending. Which is easily the most [[MindScrew mind bending]] ending in a horror game. After defeating Beast Bendy, Henry awakens to find himself in an apartment. There, we finally come face-to-face with Joey Drew himself, [[CharacterDevelopment who has become a kinder and gentler man with age.]] However, the truly frightening part comes after his monologue where he asks Henry to come down to the studio.

And judging by the number of tally marks seen at the beginning of Chapter One, he's been at this routine ''hundreds'' of times by now. AndIMustScream doesn't even '''''begin''''' to describe it.

* The Sequel has teasers in the form of [[https://bendy.fandom.com/wiki/Bendy_and_the_Dark_Revival Audio Logs from the various studio staff]], [[https://bendy.fandom.com/wiki/File:Unknown_-_April_14 the last recording however,]] belonging to an unknown character is spliced from the previous Audio Logs twisting the characters words into an ominous warning that something big will happen at Joey Drew Studios while a ScareChord builds and ends with a creepy voice commenting after the recording is over.

* Just before you trigger Bendy's jumpscare in the Chapter 4 update, you see ''footprints leading from the Ink Machine to the nearest door''. [[FridgeHorror Bendy might not have been the only thing brought to life by turning on the Machine]].
* There's a new recording by Thomas Connor. He states that the noise the Ink Machine makes sounds like a dying dog on its last legs and he recognizes the abnormality of it all. But "dying dog"... [[FridgeHorror sounds similar to good ol']] Boris, doesn't it?

** Even worse is what happens if they manage to overwhelm you: The screen goes black, and you hear the sounds of Henry choking and gurgling on ink as he's slowly drowned in it.
*** Which produces some FridgeHorror that plays upon NothingIsScarier: what exactly happens after that? is he turned into one of them or does he end up much like Sammy Lawrence?

* As some FridgeHorror, the Bendy expression sheet: his expression is [[PerpetualSmiler always the same]], which may mean that the cardboard cutouts that have been stalking you all the time with that [[TheUnSmile creepy smile of theirs]] [[StepfordSmiler may not even be smiling]]...they may be planning your demise. And if you chop them off? They could very well be pissed at you.

** And then, after the credits, you see an axe, a pile of ink, and a Bendy mask. It doesn't seem too bad...[[FridgeHorror until you remember Sammy had a Bendy mask and was encased in (if not made of) ink and was killed by Bendy...]]
*** The mask is almost definitely Sammy's, seeing as it has the same faded and damaged paint in the same places, and if you look to the left you can clearly see one of those damn Bendy cutouts.

* It pulls upon some FridgeHorror, but when you hear Joey's tape and how [[TrialBalloonQuestion he mentions cheating death as an idea]]... he may have actually ''done'' that through the Ink Machine...

* Those clones of The Butcher Gang? They've got actual ''hearts''. Not only are they all cartoons, but they've been given organs, like human beings. '''''[[FridgeHorror What on Earth happened to make them like that?!]]'''''

* Though there are minor startles littered throughout, the first chapter only has one real JumpScare. After the tension-filled process of repairing the Ink Machine is finally over, you pull the final lever and go back down the hall to where the machine sits, ready to find out what this thing Joey worked so hard on actually does. Curiously, the doorway is now boarded up from the outside, and there's nothing of interest to see from a distance, so you move closer. You peer hard through the wooden boards. The machine is further back in the room, now humming away... and then, up from below, ''something'' pops up into your field of view. It resembles Bendy in a loose sense of the word, but unlike the cardboard cutout that had been stalking you the entire game, this thing is a fully animated 3-D model, and actually looks like a proper EldritchAbomination. It has no visible eyes, a painted-on grin, and is made almost entirely of oozing, unstable ink. Perhaps most disturbing, it looks far more human-like than anything else you've encountered in the game, with a proportionately-sized head atop a clear neck and shoulders, plunging it ''deep'' into the UncannyValley.

*** As of the Chapter Three update, you can open the door to the left of Wally Frank's recording. A Bendy cutout is in there and it peeks out at you as you open it. You will most likely scream, and your heart will perform maneuvers worthy of acrobatics. And the door will be locked if you try again... And it's still staring at you...

* theMeatly recently posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_a3e3GJ67o a video]] on his channel. It's only 82 seconds long, but it packs a lot into that amount of time. The video consists of an audio recording of Henry, saying that somebody has taken him prisoner, and that there is a "secret in the shadows." His recording is interrupted by... something (most likely doors) opening... then it just cuts out.
