Bendy: Secrets of the Machine - The Story Explained

Seeing Riley as the main villain in the throne game will honestly make a lot of sense. She could be trying to make her drawings come to life and we, the player, have to stop her.

It’s really cool that the lyrics of Build Our Machine was in this. It’s like when the FNAF1 song was in the fnaf movie.

Joey: fires Riley for disturbing drawings Also Joey: Sacrificing souls to the ink machine to make his characters come to life.

I Love Ragtime Guffie, He Seems So Chill and Relaxed. Also Very Poor. Very Poor. Have no Idea why is is called a "Tin Can Boogie Man".

I’m sad to know that the story ends with B3ndy, but I’m also happy that it will HAVE an ending Edit: I meant the MAIN story not the franchise

When he said “A janitor of sorts” when talking about Ragtime Guffie, I yelled “Wally Franks?!?”

I wonder if Riley and Audrey will meet in Bendy 3. Both are artists but Audrey enjoyed drawing light-hearted cartoon while Riley drew gruesome cartoon could potentially be the character conflict between them if they faced each other as enemies in the next game. Or the protagonist may be someone else and Audrey may not appear much but we'll see...

I’m so excited that B3NDY will probably go more into Gent, because I’ve wanted to know more about the company. I also hope we see Audrey and Henry return, this game is great with their protagonists!

6:46 this song is creepy af not gunna lie the line “can’t u here the brakes squeal” is so dark bro 💀

I think this game is a platform to push news and updates throughout the process. It's a great way to keep us engaged and interested while getting different updates throughout.

It's not the Drawing Room, it's the Drawing Board, as in "back to the drawing board", meaning to start over...as you do multiple times during this game.

Now I'm really starting to think Riley the one who made those morbid inky creatures that Henry will fight in the bendy the ink machine cage the one with a human skull red eyes

"Bloodwheel, Bloodwheel, can you hear her breaks squeal? Bloodwheel, Bloodwheel, coming round the bend." That voice...where have I heard that voice before???

This is a long stretch but what if Riley is Henry’s daughter, we know that the Henry in bendy and the ink machine and bendy and the dark revival is a ink variant made by Joey so what if the real henry and his wife Linda had a child but at some point died in a car accident.

Now in the last game they tried to make a brand new mascot character to replace bendy. It failed, but his design went back into the ink. Guffie looks inspired from popeye, for some reason he kinda reminds me of wimpy. So I wonder if the failed attempt to change the mascot of the universe, and with the new design added into the ink. That the world of bendy of the ink machine can incorporate new designs with each reset, meaning that it has the potential to evolve.

The rooms shifting/changing and the way the story telling is written and handled feel very much inspired by the horror game Layers of Fear. The gramophone scene especially sold it to me that the creators took notes from the first game of Layers of Fear. A mentally distrubed artist, a tragic family accident, an artist rejected from job opportunities for their art being too disturbing for children's content, and a little girl are the main things they seem to have in common storywise. I just thought it was a likely and an interesting comparison and possible inspiration.

Even if this may be the end of the trilogy, remember this: The movie has yet to release. We still have bendy: the cage (although that may be b3ndy but I highly doubt it). And we also have bendy: the silent city. (While that’s probably low priority, still good to look out for) and more! Bendy may end its main series but that doesn’t mean it will be the end of bendy.

I just started to listen the audio logs for Dark Revival and found something big related to Riley: Steve McCregor mentions a girl with blonde locks following Allen Gray from Gent, referring her as the secretary. The family portrait here shows she has blonde hair and locks. The secretary Steve talks about must have been Riley

I have a feeling Riley would’ve been corrupted by gent and maybe she’ll become the villain because they did something to her because she doesn’t seem like a villain, like she’s got a twisted perception on the world but that could be because of trauma from the car crash

This story is interesting now because we now know the main artist behind the now delisted and dead BINR, but also we need more story content as to why she created the rest of the enemies seen in that game! (Really excited about the future of the franchise Mike and hope to see you next time also don't let there be BOTS on my COMMENT!)
