• Chapter 1: "Moving Pictures" *

Henry finds the studio abandoned and flooded with ink. The cause of the chaos is* the Ink Machine *: a device created by Joey to bring cartoon characters to life.

To activate the machine, Henry collects* six items *:

• a wrench,
  *a music record,
• a gear,
  *a plush Bendy toy,
• an inkwell,
  *The book "The Illusion of Life."

After activation,* the Ink Demon (a reanimated Bendy) appears and attacks Henry. Trying to escape, the hero falls to the lower floors of the studio, flooded with ink. He drains the ink, finds an axe , and finds himself in a room with coffins and a pentagram *on the floor - after approaching it, Henry loses consciousness.

• Chapter 2: "The Old Song" *

After waking up, Henry explores the music department. He fights* Seekers (ink creatures) and finds the office of music director Sammy Lawrence *. Lawrence wants to sacrifice Henry to the Ink Demon to free himself from ink imprisonment. The ritual is interrupted by the Demon itself - it attacks Sammy. Henry escapes.

• Chapters 3–5 *

Henry meets* Boris the Wolf (an animated cartoon character), later saving him from Angel Alice . He battles other ink creatures, including the Spotlighter and Brute Boris . Together with Allison Pendle and Tom, *Henry confronts the Ink Demon.

From Joey's message, Henry learns that to destroy the Demon, he must show it a reel of the film* "The End *." Henry plays the reel, and the words "The End" appear on the screens, causing the Ink Demon to dissolve.

• Finale *
  Henry teleports to Joey Drew's house. Joey talks about the different paths they have chosen and calls Henry back to the studio. It turns out that the hero is caught in* a time loop ("Cycle") - the events of the game are repeating themselves.

Appearance: A tall, thin, elderly man of medium build with blue eyes, slicked-back gray hair, and a thin mustache. Due to his age, he has difficulty walking and sometimes uses a wheelchair.

Personality: In his later years, he's optimistic, a workaholic, a big thinker, and a dreamer with ambitions. However, studio staff tapes reveal a different side: a rigorous work ethic, a tendency to reject old ideas for new ones, and eccentricity. In reality, Joey is a greedy, manipulative, selfish, and heartless man who cares only about his own gain.

Appearance: Bendy's ink-distorted form. A massive humanoid figure with a face covered in dripping ink. His left arm is longer than his right, and he wears a huge white glove with four fingers, while his right hand has five. His right foot resembles a human foot, while his left foot is covered in lumps, causing Ink Bendy to limp. Wisps of ink smoke float around him.

Appearance: In recordings, he has the gruff voice of a repairman. In the game, he's an anthropomorphic wolf, similar to Boris, but more serious. He wears work clothes.
