Welcome to the walkthrough for the indy-turned-cult phenomenon Bendy and the Ink Machine.
The game itself is short, clocking in with only 5 chapters, but don't be fooled because what it lacks in length it makes up for in spades with atmosphere, plot, and gameplay variety.
As a former employee of Joey Drew Studios named Henry, we watch the horrors unfolding through various events that all start with an innocent request for a reunion that quickly spirals into insanity beyond comprehension.
This walkthrough aims to point you to every collectible, miscellaneous achievement, and strategy you may want to use during your time in the abandoned studio.
Each strategy mentioned was used by me during my playthrough and DOES work as of 07/01/19 (special thanks to those who worked on the achievement guide as that was where I found most of the strategies). Before we dive into the deep end of the inkwell, though, you should be aware of a few things.
This game will require one playthrough to complete all but one achievement (see Chapter 3) and has a Chapter Select option to help you nab anything else you miss or just give up on for the time being.
Collectibles can also be re-collected using Chapter Select but they will ALL respawn in the chapter. If you follow the guide closely you should be okay with them but the game has no tracker to speak of, meaning that if you don't get the achievement for getting all the cans of soup, you're in for another playthrough since you won't know where that missing can is until you pick it up.
With all that out of the way let's get going!
*fun fact: Bacon Soup is a real thing and it's got its own special day; April 18th (coincidentally the same day chapter 2 released for Bendy!)
