But Henry is the only one who can fix it! If only he were here! And with the ruins of a crooked empire as his legacy… Joey is obsessed with how to fix it. And Joey tells Henry point blank at the end: “you should have pushed a little harder.” He wants to blame Henry for not fixing his mistakes, cleaning up his mess. Henry was always there, pushing Joey to do the right thing. Joey would never truly cast himself as the true villain.Īs for why it’s Henry going through all this and not Joey… Joey says it himself.
So Bendy is the evil villain Henry, the hero of Joey’s story, confronts. The character on whom all of this hinged. He’s convinced himself that the REAL evil all along… was the Ink Demon. He is CONSTANTLY living in the past, knowing he made mistakes…īut he’s going about it all wrong.
It’s his way of coping, of rationalizing what happened in the studio. In so many, many different forms… never satisfied with it. We see on Joey’s home desk a bunch of storyboards and concept sketches. Still, I do believe the child speaking is Henry’s kid, even if it’s not Linda.
Linda, Henry’s kid, I believe, is the child at the end of the game asking “Uncle Joey” to tell another story.ĮDIT: This has been countered by who pointed out that Linda is mentioned in Henry’s Chapter 3 tape from 30 years ago! Linda is then likely Henry’s wife, not his daughter. We aren’t told why, but we do know he valued his family more than the work at the studio. The Bendy cartoons were thriving, but the workers were unhappy. The REAL story of Joey Drew Studios is that it became wildly successful on the surface… but was suffering horrendous financial trouble. Joey, who ran the company into the ground. He’s a fictional character based on Henry Stein (possibly possessing of Henry Stein’s spirit, which I’ll explain in a moment) created by Joey. But the Henry we play as… is not Henry Stein. And I believe I have come up with a decent working theory which covers almost all plot threads (that I am aware of) of Bendy and the Ink Machine. So I thought about it… and thought about it. And while I do agree with a few of them… I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to story analysis, and certain pieces haven’t been adding up. I’ve seen a few theories floating around about the ending to BATIM. Squigglydigg: Bendy and the Ink Machine ENDING: EXPLAINED
