good horror game, pretty much what you would get if bioshock and cuphead had a baby.

This game is overall scary, and it actually made me fall out of my seat once. I would recommend this to other gamers.

One of the most beautiful horror games i have ever played. Visual design, environment are done exceptionally good. Story and characters are well created. They provide the feeling that you are watching old cartoons. Gameplay is quite good as well, it contains a lot of secrets as well. A problem that i found so far is that you cannot skip cut scenes so if you want to play the game again you need to watch all cutscenes. I definitely recommend it and i am looking forward to the sequel with the name " Bendy and the Dark Revival"

Good game, especially for the price. Played this a bunch with my son who absolutely loved it!

I've been checking in with Bendy and the Ink Machine from time to time, playing the 1st two chapters before only the complete edition was available and finally buying it at the current sale price ($3.99) of this review. I was surprised by how much the game spreads its wings as you progress, especially in chapters 3, 4, & 5. Perhaps it was due to how this was originally developed but just playing chapter 1 is almost misleading.
A quick summary, you play as Henry who has arrived to Joey Drew Studios after being invited by an old friend. When you arrive, the place is abandoned and you need to figure out what's going on. Chapter 1 and 2 are fairly by the books when compared to a lot of PC horror games. You'll have a few jumpscares, some simple puzzles with backtracking, and a creepy atmosphere. I enjoyed it more as I progressed with improved narrative, much larger maps with more visual creativity and gameplay variety. Some moments in the later chapters reminded me of BioShock which was certainly a surprise.
There were a few things to nitpick over; the character that you're playing as has terrible voice acting, at times sounding completely monotone or sounding like a bad impression of Soild Snake. He got a little better near the end but it was jarring to listen to most of time because the other voice actors were pretty good or decent. Combat is functional, Bendy and the Ink Machine won't be compared to the Condemned series anytime soon but it usually gets the job done.
Bendy and the Ink Machine is a good game, it certainly rises above most of what is out there on the Steam Store. However, I'm disappointed in that there is a lot of potential in the premise and frankly the game is too plain and kind of boring at times if you've played your fair share of horror games. Thinking it over, this might be to avoid any kind of gore or mature subject material for perhaps a teen rating on consoles. Either way, let's hope they can bump up the complexity in the sequel. It's an easy recommendation if you're a fan of mainstream horror games but it's not worth paying more than $10.
FYI: Don't use the Steam Overlay in-game, it breaks the in-game controls in the pause menu and you'll have quit out and restart at the last saved location in the chapter.

Review in one sentence:
"It feels more like Bioshock than Outlast".
