A first-person survival horror game and sequel to Bendy and the Ink Machine, Bendy and the Dark Revival takes place roughly a decade after the events of the original. The story follows Audrey, an animator employed by Arch Gate Pictures, the company that absorbed the long-bankrupt Joey Drew Studios and its legacy of beloved cartoon characters. Audrey is pulled from her ordinary world into the nightmarish ink-soaked dimension of the old studio, a warped and living realm born from the mysterious Ink Machine. Trapped in this twisted cartoon underworld, she must navigate its decaying halls and shifting environments while evading the grotesque ink creatures that stalk them, chief among them the fearsome Ink Demon. Armed with makeshift weapons and forced to solve puzzles to press onward, Audrey searches for a way to survive and escape. As she ventures deeper, she begins to uncover dark secrets about the studio, the ink, and her own connection to this haunted world.
