Game pageBendy and the Dark Revival — step inside a cartoon gone wrong
Familiar cartoon shapes become unsettling when you can walk among them. Reviewers enjoy the collision of old-fashioned animation and horror.
Looking closer is part of the attraction: players describe lingering over details instead of simply hurrying through the studio.
What makes it fun
Find clues to open the way
Search for keys and switches to open blocked paths. The old cartoon studio invites you to look closely for clues tucked into its scenery.
Find cover when the warning appears
When the warning says the Ink Demon is coming, you must reach a hiding place such as a locker or barrel before it catches you. Objects you passed while exploring suddenly become places to escape.
Discoveries off the direct path
Looking around the old cartoon studio reveals easy-to-miss details and Easter eggs. There are discoveries you could miss by heading straight for the next objective.
