Game Theory: We Were TOTALLY WRONG! What Bendy's Ending REALLY Meant (Bendy and the Ink Machine)

in Chapter 3 and again in Chapter 4 at the hands of Bendy. In both cases, Norman's body persists and lies on the ground if he is eliminated. Or Bendy drags him away if he's the one doing the deed. Those creatures, the one that actually has soul infused into them, are all the ones associated with coffins... So

what

does all this have to do with Henry and a newspaper headline about the death of an artist? He tells us that Henry was tricked. That Joey successfully sacrificed him to Ink Machine. I mean, think about it. He received a letter from Joey Drew inviting him to return to the studio, in the same way that Joey reached out to ALL of his former employees.

Those letters on Joey's bulletin board, which I originally interpreted when Joey approaches, tries to make amends to his former employees is

really

just evidence that he tried to lure EVERYONE into the office to sacrifice them to the

machine

. And that some people like Allison, Tom, and Wally were just lucky, they lived far enough away to meet his old boss and say, "Thanks, but no thanks." But that other people, like Susie, Bertrum and now Henry said "Yes" to the invitation and became victims ("It was at that moment that Henry knew, he screwed up.") What about that final scene between Henry and Joey ?

Actually, it's out of sequence. Actually, that's the first scene of our little timeline. You can tell that Henry went to meet Joey, and now he listens to

what

Joey says: "Actually, you were always very good at pushing, old friend... ...pushing me to do the right thing. You should have pushed a little harder." strong..." That's him admitting that it's still

wrong

. I mean, translating that line is basically, “You pushed me to be better, but not enough.” Do you need more proof? Do you remember the end of the Tombstone Picnic cartoon where Bendy sees a human shadow? Well, look a little closer at that scene and you'll notice that in the final frames we see Bendy smile.

It's not a reaction of fear or mischief, it's him smiling at his creator, Henry. And that's not all, in a second playthrough, we have the ability to use the Lens of Truth. Which reveals hidden messages written on the walls throughout the studio. We establish during the last Bendy Theory that those messages were left by Henry as evidence through lines like: "IT'S THE JOEY I KNEW" and "HIS DREAM of him. MY EFFORT" But it's the invisible line of "JOEY LIED TO US." This shows that even Henry at this point in the

game

recognizes that he was betrayed by his former business partner.

Remember those weird flashbacks at the end of Chapter 1? Well, they happen when Henry enters the sacrificial circle. And what do we see? Joey's wheelchair from a ground-up perspective That's us! *Arrow pointing to lower left corner* On the floor, facing Joey's wheelchair. We also see the ink

machine

and Bendy (when you skip leg day, lol). We are flashing back to the moment when Henry was first sacrificed. Lying on the floor, looking at Joey's wheelchair. But the squeeze here is in the lead-up to the final battle against Bendy. We see Boris, Allison and Henry arrive at the Ink Machine one last time.

But before they can enter, they have to cross a black river and it is here that Allison and Boris have to stay behind saying this: "I don't see any way forward..." we are not like "Henry. If we go in there, well... you rarely see a drop of water in the ocean again." Again, Allison and Boris here are supposed to be Allison Pendle and Thomas Connor, but Joey hasn't been able to get hold of their souls. Lo We see why they wrote a note on the bulletin board. As such, they are just ink creatures, no doubt, but still, they are just ink.

That's why they can't cross the river while Henry can. accepts Joey's invitation. 30 years after leaving the studio, Joey leaves Henry with the machine, performs the ritual and sends Henry's soul to a character, leaving behind an empty shell of Henry's body to be discarded. a coffin like the others, but abandoned on a desk. An artist collapsed over his work, reported dead from pushing too hard. And why would Joey do this? Well, maybe, unlike his other victims, Henry has a family. A family that would be curious if one day he disappeared. Meanwhile, Henry's soul wanders through the film reels.

An animated purgatory, over and over again. Along with the characters he helped create. They were turned into monsters by the man who betrayed them all. It couldn't be more in tune than the initial

ending

I proposed for this

game

. But I have to say that it ties up a lot more loose ends in my opinion. As I said. , has a good chance of being true. Maybe not this

ending

about getting rid of the body and stuff like that. But I think a lot of things that led up to this make sense. theMeatly, Mike Mood, if you're watching this (hi, if you have subtitles lol (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞) or if theorists see this, send this to yourself, are we closer this time?

I'm curious to know that news is coming out about a new project for you guys. I can't wait to see it, you know I'll be here waiting to theorize. MEANWHILE, REMEMBER! That's just a

theory

... a GAME THEORY! Thanks for watching! While researching this episode, I found a lot more

theory

about Bendy. Surprisingly, there are actually a lot of things I haven't seen covered anywhere else. So be sure to hit that Subscribe button to stay informed when those theories happen. Surprisingly, there is more Bendy in the works. And with a new project from Meatly and Mike Mood in the works, you know we'll be there to theorize.

Make sure you subscribe to be there. And hell! If you want to see my completely opposite Bendy ending theory, click on the box you see on the screen right... NOW! So now, if you'll excuse me, I'll see you next week.
