Storyline

On June 18th, 1973, Audrey is an animator who works at Archgate Pictures and spends her night working overtime on animations. She gets up after a grueling shift of redrawing old frames from Joey Drew's Bendy cartoons to get coffee, and encounters Wilson, the janitor. Wilson and Audrey enter the cycle, where Wilson beings to solidify his position as the new ruler of the cycle. Wilson claims to have vanquished the Ink Demon 211 days before, and Audrey finds herself in an inky form in the world of the ink machine. Now Audrey must navigate the studio and ally with iconic cartoon characters such as a hardened Alice, a tough Boris and even a 'perfect' Bendy, surviving the horrors of the studio and avoiding the nightmarish creatures such as the dreaded Butcher Gang, the tormented Lost Ones and the vile Searchers, in her journey to escape the realm she is trapped in.
