Preface
Bendy and the Ink Machine quickly became one of the more popular games in the category of puzzle action and survival horror video games.
This time the focus will be on Bendy And The Ink Machine Characters.
We’ll get brief information about each character, the forces that shape it and the places where we can encounter it while playing the game.
Knowing the background of a figure can help to complete the picture and also some tips are provided.
Henry Stein
Henry is the game’s main character and the one you play.
He is a retired animator who returns to his old workplace, Joey Drew Studios, to explore the mystery and to fill his ex-business partner
Joey’s request to discover “something special”.
It appears that the ink machine is more than a simple tool because it can give life to cartoon characters, but the results are horrifying.
So Henry needs to fight is way out and escape the studio from the inky horror cartoons inside.

Bendy
Bendy is the main cartoon character created by the animation company Joey Drew Studios as their mascot.
Along the game Bendy appears on cardboard cutouts, clips of cartoons, posters, plush toys, cutout mask, status and more.
Ink Bendy is the deformed shape that brings the cartoons to life by the ink machine.
Ink Bendy
This is the primary evil cartoon character that was made from Joey drew’s bad attempt to create life out of Bendy mascot.
The figure’s body is covered with ink and her head resembles Bedny.
Ink Bendy has no soul and also lacks human intelligence and not capable of speaking.
When he appears, he creates an ink mask all around and causes ink to drop from the ceiling.
There is no weapon that can kill Ink Bendy, so the best strategy is to hide from him and wait until he passes.
Miracle Stations along the way provide a safe place to hide from Bendy
