    Отличный квест с отличным, хитросплетённым сюжетом. Игра вполне стоит своих дегег, Must Have!

    Great game! The designs are unique and the game is a mix of horror and puzzle. Made me jump from my chair, indie games like this truly deserve a bigger audience!

    This game was surprisingly good, for an indie horror game this is one of the better ones out there

    The game has a really great esthetic, the music is fantastic, the horror is really subtle and it keeps you on the edge throughout the the first quarter of the game but the rest kind of shifts to a regular survival game rather an atmospheric horror game.

    This is a really good horror game, I think it truly deserves the cult following it gets. The story is very interesting and the monster designs are very well thought out.

    The story is really great, the designs are really cool, the sepia toned style is appealing. The third chapter needed some fixes though.

    great story, beautiful music, scary places and clever jumpscares. What is there more to say about this game then the great nostalgic artstyle that gives it a unic look to the game.

    This Game Is terrifying and while I do think that the game doesn't really have as much puzzle elements as I would hope (it has more fetch quests than puzzles) It still gets me every time a jumpscare happens because they are so far in between.

It works fine in the first chapter as it's really just to give the players a feel of how the game is supposed to feel (kinda like a demo). but in the 2nd and 3rd chapters it's kinda meh. But regardless I can't wait to see how chapters 4 and 5 turn out and very exited to see the new updates regarding chapter 1. Also the game has a very unique art style which not alot of games these days can say. Over all a great game!… Expand

    This is a pretty game, Bendy have an unique art style, bringing the feeling of a 30's movies, the story is very interesting, full of mysteries and surprises, and a interesting confusing ending, but the game still have It problems like bugs and long puzzles

    Great art style with a great atmosphere but unfortunately thats the only positive thing I can say about this game. The Three current chapters are all extremely short (if you don´t count the really annoying puzzles that aren`t fun at all and only makes the game worse) which really makes you wonder why both episode Two and Three cost 6€ each when they should cost about 2 or 3€.

Chapter One was great (and free) but it seems like after that each chapter has just gotten worse. Episode Two introduced the unnecessary and boring combat system which removes a big part of the games "scare factor" and episode Three was just completely awful since the only thing you really do is completing some really annoying quests by searching the same floors over and over again. In the end Bendy and the Ink machine has great potential but it seems like the developers don´t really know what they want to do with the game… Expand

    After playing this game, I was honestly a bit underwhelmed by the experience.

The art style and story are the best part of the experience, creating a creepy abandoned atmosphere in the style of the old cartoons. My issues come with the gameplay as the puzzle segments are a bit dull with not too many scares occurring while the action sections are just repetitive with each encounter mainly consisting of a cycle of hitting the enemy and then running after taking too much damage. Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone interested in the atmosphere rather than the actual gameplay.… Expand

    It is a videogame that surprises me because of its design that is very charming but it is worth the graphics history designs and many more things in these 4 chapters

    I really like this game, the atmosphere is great the style, I can tell this "could" have a bright future. However the second chapter was a big disappointment, It's worth 6 dollar and only has 15-20 minutes of content. After completing 2 or 3 objectives you think that the chapter is just getting started but that's it, you are left reading the credits and wondering did I just spent 6 dollarsI really like this game, the atmosphere is great the style, I can tell this "could" have a bright future.

    I have enough of these games without saves and that you can't change controls ! Also very poorly optimized with huge FPS problems. Have some respect for PC gamers !

    The vision behind Bendy and the Ink Machine is so absurdly coherent that soaking in the game’s atmosphere is pure pleasure. It’s a shame that the overall impression suffers from repetitive gameplay and – from time to time – boredom. [02/2019, p.52]

    Bendy And The Ink Machine is a beautiful, dark tribute to old-school animation. Its explore and puzzle adventure surprises the player in every chapter with new mechanics based in hide & seek and stealth. Its compelling story is an allegory to workaholism.
