Now take that in consideration and think: did Henry really walk into a workshop the moment he left Joey Drew’s apartment? Was there really an Ink Machine and crazed ink people trying to attack him? Or ink demons chasing him around? We can infer from that Joey is creating a new story involving his old characters, from the original Joey Drew Studios, right? Only this time THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL TWISTED. Henry ALSO sees sketches in Joey’s desk of the characters and (some) events we see in the game.

Wally didn’t mysteriously disappear or become a random Boris. Allison and Thomas didn’t become real life cartoons. What is it that Henry sees in Joey corkboard? The REAL fate of Joey Drew Studio’s employees. There’s also a post-credits scene where a child asks “uncle Joey to tell them another story”. We assume from Chapter 1 he got a letter from Joey when he was actually personally invited by Joey to visit his old workshop.Īnd then, as you play the game after having finished it once, you gain the magical lenses which allow you to see hidden messages, right? And this in turn made players and fans speculate that Henry was caught in an endless temporal loop. He visits Joey Drew’s apartment, learns about the fate of the real workers at the studio - Alice, Thomas Connor, Wally Franks and Joey himself - and goes to meet Joey thirty years after having quit the studio. That scene actually refers to how Henry entered the studio the first time. You know how Joey invites Henry to his home after you defeat Bendy and finish Chapter 5, right? And then the story seems to start all over again. I think I’ve just figured out BATIM’s ending.
