The gameplay of Bendy and the Ink Machine is pretty simple, but that doesn’t really take away from the game. Overall, the story and characters of Bendy and the Ink Machine are top notch, and thankfully the game is pretty damn fun to play too.

Whether it be the employees’ thoughts on Joey Drew, or their complaints about the oddities occurring at the studio, I always found myself eagerly listening in.

Generally speaking, audio logs in games are hardly ever worth listening to (in my opinion at least), yet all the logs you listen to in Joey Drew Studios are there to add more weight to the narrative. Even the characters you only hear on the audio logs manage to provide something to the narrative. The same can also be said for Alice Angel who, despite not being at all friendly to you, has struggles that you find out about that makes her anger understandable. Boris (a wolf who resembles Disney’s Goofy) manages to be a character you care significantly about, despite the fact he does not speak at all. The characters of Bendy and the Ink Machine are brilliantly animated and well realised, with a substantial depth that endears them to the player.
