About Bendy
Bendy and the Ink Machine began February 10, 2017 on Game Jolt as episodic chapters about animator Henry Stein returning to Joey Drew Studios, with the full set out October 27, 2018 and consoles November 20, 2018. It mixes puzzles and stealth in a 1930s cartoon studio taken over by ink.
Bendy and the Dark Revival released November 15, 2022 with Audrey Drew in the studio depths, followed by Bendy: Secrets of the Machine in 2024 and Bendy: Lone Wolf in 2025 expanding the cycle. A film from Radar Pictures with Andre Ovredal is in development but has no date, so the games carry the story for now.
Good to know
Play in release order since the Dark Revival assumes you know Henry, Joey Drew and the cycle twist. The mobile Nightmare Run is optional and sits outside the main plot. Treat Secrets of the Machine and Lone Wolf as side stories after the first two, with the film still undated and outside this list. Plan extra time for finales, since later parts assume full knowledge of earlier twists.
