The twisted story of Joey Drew Studios, its mistreated employees, and its tormented creations went down in gaming history for good reason. Regardless of its flaws, Bendy and the Ink Machine is more than worth celebrating.
It gave fans some iconic sights such as the grisly dissected corpse of Boris, the twisted and menacing Projectionist, and the half-melted corrupted Alice Angel. From the slick, stylish graphics to the slowly-building atmosphere to some spectacularly memorable inky messes, there's a lot to appreciate about this title. Beyond that, the world of Bendy and the Ink Machine is just fascinating overall. This may not be a surprise-the concept of malicious living cartoon characters haunting the abandoned studio that brought them to life is one that lingers. Bendy and the Ink Machine is, at its best, a journey into the depravity and desperation for success that lies underneath the Dancing Demon's facade. More than that, however, this game deliberately set out to attack the nostalgia surrounding 1920 and 30s-style animation. Bendy and the Ink Machine may have made a good decision with its atmospheric approach to gameplay, small on-screen cast, and human characters whose faces were often deliberately obscured. Other modern cartoon-inspired games like Cuphead also drew on Fleischer's work, for better or worse. His work had notorious energy to it and often focused on bizarre things happening to characters who may or may not have deserved it.Īlice Angel is clearly inspired by Betty Boop, but even characters like Bendy and Boris have more in common with Fleischer's high-contrast, movement-filled artwork than the pastel wonderlands Disney was creating. The American animator was well-known for bringing characters like Popeye, Betty Boop, and Superman to the big screen. While some have compared Bendy and the Ink Machine's big-eyed cartoon characters to the Disney animated canon, a better comparison would be to the work of Max Fleischer.
