- "Bendy and the Ink Machine."
- I can't tell if this is a scary game or not.
- Damn it, this looks scary.
It has the flickering light thing, and everything's broken.
- It looks very animated.
One of those old, like, Disney cartoons
with black-and-white Mickey.
- This thing already looks creepy and scary.
Probably gonna fall out of this chair a couple times.
- (FBE) So this is the first chapter of a game
from an independent studio
currently working towards crowdsourced funding
to be able to release a full version of the game.
- That's cool. So it's like an indie game type thing
that's funded by the fans. I like that.
I appreciate indie games. Like, I think they're so cool.
- So they can really make the full game
if they really do enjoy it.
So I think that's always really nice for the community to do.
- I'm ready. (chuckles)
- "Dear Henry, it seems like a lifetime
since we worked on cartoons together.
30 years really slips away, doesn't it?"
- "If you're back in town, come visit the old workshop."
- "There's something I need to show you.
Your best pal, Joey Drew."
- Is this supposed to be like a Walt Disney type thing?
'Cause even the way he signed his name
is like that Disneyland D.
"Chapter One: Moving Pictures."
- Wow, this is cool.
- (Henry) All right, Joey. I'm here.
- "Find the ink machine."
- (Henry) Let's see if we can find what he wanted me to see.
- I like that he talks. In most horror games, they don't talk.
- I kinda like that it looks all drawn.
- That's a projector. That's not an ink machine.
- How you doing, Jeffrey?
I don't know his name. I'm gonna call him Jeffrey.
- It's eerie, and nothing's happening right now.
So whenever nothing's happening,
you know something's gonna go down.
- "Dreams come true."
This little cartoon character is everywhere.
That's obviously like their main cartoon.
- Everything seems to be kinda locked.
- Ink machine. Oh, that's what I need.
Um... oh.
- (Henry) So this is the ink machine. - Oh, Jesus. Okay.
- (Henry) Wonder how you turn it on. - "Turn on the machine."
- I can't even turn on real-life technology.
How am I supposed to figure this out?
- I guess just keep walking around till we find something.
- I'm kinda scared. (laughs)
I feel like the music cut out. So now that it's silent--
Oh, Jesus.
I feel like those things are gonna scare me, just every corner.
- It's getting me nice and comfortable,
and then it's gonna scare me.
But it's gonna happen real soon.
- Okay. Just a falling board.
- Oh. Oh, it's okay. This place is just old.
- Uh... ooh, main power.
I'm gonna check this out first.
- This is a thing. Oh, this-- oh.
- (Henry) All right. - (sighs) My god.
- (Henry) All right. How do I get this to work?
- Of course there's more stuff to do.
- Okay, "Fix the ink machine."
Oh, there's a fat lever.
- There's low pressure right now.
Uh... how do we fix that? I'm not a mechanic.
Maybe we're supposed to put things on these pedestal things.
- I've seen gears. All right, okay.
- I need six total items, and they're all on the wall.
Let's just go explore.
♪ (startling note) ♪ - Aah! Jesus freaking Christ.
- I'm getting the hang of this.
♪ (startling note) ♪ Oh, Jesus!
♪ (startling note) ♪ - (gasps)
(Henry gasps) Bye, no. Hate it.
- Oh. - (Henry) Who put this here?
- Spooky.
- The little cartoon character came in to join me.
- What's that?
- Wah-hey, that doesn't look right. What is that?
- Wow, that thing looks scary.
- (Henry) Oh my god. Joey, what were you doing?
- This is like Five Nights at Freddy's,
where they follow you when you're not looking.
- "Who's laughing now?"
That's not supposed to be an actual person, right?
It's just like a mascot character.
- This was, like, doing voodoo stuff with his dolls.
And his characters, he brought them to life.
- If this is like a real thing, then maybe we are just animated.
Maybe we're, like, animating life.
There's got to be something in here.
Oh, a book. Aha.
- Oh, there's a book. There it is.
- I don't see anything in this room.
I probably need to go into one of those locked rooms.
- Oh, this book. I think that's probably the-- yes.
- Oh, maybe that thing.
Nope? All right, cool.
Nope. Nope.
A book. Found the book.
Let's go put it back.
Wait. Actually, maybe, let's just find everything first.
- Okay.
Oh. Is it this?
(doll squeaks) (gasps)
- Oh, this thing.
(doll squeaks) Ew, I don't like that.
- Okay, let's check in here.
'Cause there may be something in here
that I didn't know I was looking for.
(gasps) Wait, is that a teddy bear?
Little teddy bear thing.
(doll squeaks) (gasps) I got it.
(doll squeaks) - Oh, Jesus.
Okay, so I have that thing.
I also need an ink thing, a gear.
That's a gear. But... I guess it needs to be a loose gear.
Oh, that. Sick.
- Come on, give me this guy. Aha.
- Gears. Okay. Got it.
- "Dreams come true." Does this mean anything?
I know I need ink. But do I need this ink?
- Ink is not here.
- Got it.
Why does it have a skull and crossbones on it?
- (gasps) There's the ink. Or poison? Ink?
- Oh, NO, that light just turned off.
- Is it this room? The light?
Oh, the light turned off.
Ohh, spooky.
- Where is it?
Oh, maybe it's right here.
Nope. No, it's not.
- (voice raises in pitch) We're fine.
Sometimes you just gotta reassure yourself.
- (sighs) Chikachoo. I don't think I've been in here.
- I haven't been in this room before.
- Can I watch something?
Ooh, "ink pressure."
- Oh. "Ink pressure."
That doesn't do anything though?
- We know this is the ink room. Okay, let's remember that.
- What can turn this thing on, besides ink obviously?
Oh, what's this? Oh, okay.
Uh... vinyl record.
- Ooh. Is this the music?
No, it's not.
Oh, just kidding.
- Uh-huh. Is that everything?
I feel like there's one more, but I don't remember what it is.
- I'm going back to this thing and seeing if I can fix it.
Oh, the wrench.
- Wrench! Wrench!
(claps) Yeah!
- Okay. So now we can go restore ink pressure.
Oh, it's probably the thing that said "flow," right? Okay.
- Let's go back to the room.
- It's in the projector or the little heater room.
- Okay, we're fine. Long corridors.
♪ (startling note) ♪ Oh, Jesus Christ! Why?
♪ (startling note) ♪ - Aah! Dang it.
♪ (startling note) ♪
- What?
Is there a way I can punch him? I hate it.
(gasps)
Oh my god.
- Now it's getting scarier.
- Okay. I'm just here to click this, and I'm out.
- "Ink pressure." Woo! Nailed it.
- "Flow."
- Peace out. (snickers) You do you.
Play a movie for people who aren't even here. Go for it.
(distant clank)
- (nervously) No. No.
(distant clank) - Who's here? Please don't murder me.
- (nervously) Okay.
Oh god, okay, he's still there. I don't want him to move.
If he moves, I'm losing my shit.
- Oh yay. Start.
(switch clicks)
- There. Now can I leave?
- Let's go. Press the ink machine, I guess.
- That thing better stay dead.
- All the lighting's only paying attention
to certain spots in the game and not the whole freaking thing
just conveniently, you know?
Oh, great. Awesome. Now my ink machine's blocked.
- Oh, come on!
♪ (terrifying note) ♪ Oh, Jesus!!
- What?
♪ (terrifying note) ♪ (suppressed scream)
♪ (terrifying note) ♪ - (screams)
- He's alive!
Oh. Do I get to leave?
- It's just flooding with ink. Am I supposed to run?
- There's ink everywhere. I don't understand what is going on.
- Wow! That went dark really, really fast.
- Exit. Exit. Exit.
- Gotta go. Gotta go.
- Exit! (screams)
(Henry grunts) No!
- Go, go, go, go, go, go!
What? WHAT? (Henry grunts)
- I'm out. I'm out.
OH! [Bleep]! (Henry grunts)
(loud thud, Henry grunts) What the hell?
- What the frick just happened?
- "The creator lied to us."
- Oh, is it the animation's upset?
- Are the ink things alive?
- Oh no. What did he do?
Oh, we need this. We're taking this.
- Ooh, there's an ax. Awesome.
- (Henry) This will definitely come in handy.
- "Click to swing your ax."
- (grunts)
Now, this is what I'm talking about.
This is just entertaining by itself.
- Come on. There we go.
- See-- oh, no. Nah.
- Of course it's satanic.
- Are they, like, conjuring Satan?
(startling clanking) - Okay.
(startling clanking) - That's it?
- (clapping) ♪ (ominous music) ♪
- What? This is so much fun. Why would they just end it there?
Like, we were getting somewhere.
- Once it got going, it actually has the potential
to be a really good game.
- The whole animation thing was really cool.
I liked it a lot, but it wasn't scary.
- The art style and everything else was really cool.
So it was like, it's not just a game about jump scares.
It's, like, you're here for an experience.
There's no way that people aren't gonna fund this project.
'Cause it's like, this is amazing. Why wouldn't you?
- Thanks for watching us play Bendy and the Ink Machine
on the React channel.
- What do you think will happen in the next chapter?
Let us know in the comments.
- Bye, guys. Steamboat Willie got real creepy.
- Hey, everybody. Derek here, one of the React channel producers.
You know, I didn't think Bendy was that scary. Neh.
