- Bendy and the Ink Machine is now available for free on the Epic Games Store
- Take a harrowing journey through an abandoned animation studio
- Discover the mystery of the ink machine in this classic survival horror game
Well, I don’t mind saying that with all the excitement going on at Pocket Gamer Towers for Halloween, I almost completely forgot about the Epic Games Store freebie of the week! But I remembered that, as it turns out, you can get the classic survival horror game Bendy and the Ink Machine completely for free!
For those who don’t know, Bendy and the Ink Machine is considered a true classic for a reason. Set in a failing animation studio, you play as Henry, a former animator now called back to the set, so to speak, by owner Joey Drew.
As you might expect, it won’t be a elated reunion. You will have to make your way through a world where animation penetrates reality in a very perilous way. So you’ll have to face bizarre monsters and obstacles to get to the bottom of what’s going on at Joey Drew Studios.
Bend it like Bendy
Over the past few years, Bendy and the Ink Machine has gained a bad reputation for pioneering the unfortunately oversaturated mascot horror genre. But at the same time, there’s a reason why it resonated so well with audiences.
Boasting a distinctive setting and enemies that aren’t just your run-of-the-mill, gory monsters, I think it’s unthreatening to say that it was the first survival horror game set in an animation studio. Oh, and did I mention it’s completely free? If you’ve ever been putting off trying Bendy and the Ink Machine, now is the time to dive in! Go er, ink.
But once you get through Bendy, there are plenty of other great options. So if you want more spine-chilling thrills, check out our list of the best horror games for Android for more options?
