So. Let's talk about Bendy, shall we? Part one.

As all people who follow the Ink Demon knows, the last chapter of BatIM was released a few days ago. Some people are disappointed with the ending, some not, but what I wanted to talk about are the wrinkles in all of this that doesn't quite fit in, but if we were to take everything into perspective, it all makes sense. Let me explain.

Oh, and also disclaimer: I don't have reddit, and I'm not familiar with any theory other than the whole loop thingy, so everything that is in there, are my thoughts. Or in instances that are not, I'll clearly tell you about it.

So, everyone know that the leading theory, which proves to be true is that Henry is trapped in a loop by Joey Drew. But what is maybe even more important is why he CAN'T leave it.

It's because that Henry not only is trapped in a loop, but also a game script. Let me explain.

There aren't many proofs as to it, except what Henry from previous loops had Williton in golden ink. We know that he tried to leave (proof is that he written in gold ink at the very beggining to turn away, to leave, but when he tried the door was pernamently closed), but he can't. Later on, when we are about to start the ink machine, in golden ink was written:There was never a choice.

And that is our clue that he's following the script. He literally must start the IM, because otherwise the script won't allow him to take any action.

Another clue? Why would he even start the IM in the first place? JD wanted him in the old workshop, but Henry literally hadn't need to do anything and he just straight up say: Hey, let's start IM, I mean, what can go wrong?

Why he even know about IM? I don't think it was even there when he was in the company, but I can be wrong.

Also, the little wrinkles about Tom and Allison. Even if there is some sense to Tom, the one and only little wrinkle doesn't fit in.

Tom had suddenly turned into an ally after we fight with Sammy. This can mean two things, either Sammy was an enemy of Tom and thy enemy of your enemy is your friend, or that because Henry was able to escape his prison in the first place made him scarred to the point where being his ally was a much better option, because that means if he was able to escape from then, he could have done it much earlier, but he didn't. He could have kill either Tom or Allison in their sleep, even if he didn't. The possibility was there and it's enough to scare Tom.

Back to Allison. The one wrinkle is the thing that she says to Henry. Set us free.

Why would she say that? It doesn't quite add up when you thing about it. All she knew about Henry is that he was an old employee and that's it. Also, when I think about it, why she ask if Henry knows where to go after killing Sammy and Co.? For all that matter, why would Henry even know where to go in the first place?

That could be explained that he knew about it because he was the former employee, but somehow I don't think that's the case here. But even if, why Allison would ask something like this? She should know her way around the place like the palm of her hand and she just asked if Henry knows where to go.

Next thing with the script theory is that he says exactly the same things in every loop that we witness. Doesn't matter if we have the tool or not, and one would wonder why he don't make any sort of comments about it. Which brings us to the next point.

Why would Henry do the comments in the first place, of it was him that wrote the messages?

He forgot.

Or rather, he sealed away his memories. Maybe not even specifically him, but his brain.

After so many loops, where you can't do anything and you just follow the script because you have to, you might go slightly mad.

You can see a little of this in his messages throughout the whole game. He's bitter (Joey Drew Nothing) man after all of this and there are some messages that might look cheerful, but they aren't.

Ouch, Boo! Peekaboo!, they look cheerful but they aren't, they are at the places that Henry gets hurt. Why would he be so cheerful about that?

Also, the drawings on the letters, like a skull or horns.

And also those messages that may imply that he's desperate or slowly loosing his mind,like You bring death and Say hello to Sammy. Especially the second one is creeping me out a little.

So, as to bring some normalcy back to his life, he chose to forget about all of those loops, so he won't go more mad than he already is.

There is a small chance that he still remembers about all the loops, but then the amount texts in golden ink would be increasing after each playthrough and I don't think there would be additional content in third run.

Okay, next in the agenda. Someone has pointed out in jacksepticeye playthrough, the game was actually been made by Joey Drew Studios. Or this might be even more precise, by Joey Drew himself.

We know about it because of his drawing, where he was showing us Alice Angel and Bendy.

And the text underneath: Bendy wins.

Also one more thing points out to this — the last cassette in Bendy's throne room. How would Joey knew that Henry would even need the "The end" thingy? Why he even recorded that thing?

It wouldn't make sense, if the script hadn't been at least written by Joey Drew.

Okay, next. The coffin thingy.

We see coffins of so many people, Susie coffin most prominent of them all. We can assume that all of them were put through the IM.

But, curiously enough, we never seen Tom's and Allison's coffins. Weren't they put thought the IM like the rest of them?

No, they probably weren't. The only proof except lack of coffins would be the letter Joey had received from Allison. She had a career in film industrial, Tom also was probably working somewhere and we can say that they were happy.

So I think there are two possible options: Joey had invited them, just like he invited Henry, and throw them in the IM and he didn't have time to make coffins, or even the will to do it so he left it like this. Or they are programmed in the game as characters, but not actual people. They aren't real.

The real Allison and Tom are happily living in some town or city or something.

This might even explain the weird wrinkle in Allison dialogue about setting everyone free.

And the last thing on the list. Sammy.

It's obvious observation, but I wanted to include this here anyway. How is that Sammy had mistaken Henry for Bendy? This man was saying that he's a prophet of Bendy, that Bendy is his messiah, so why would he feel betrayed by Henry of all people?

Well, the conclusion isn't obvious, I'm not even sure if I'm right.

It's not because Sammy is mad or have some kind of schizophrenia (both of what has might be true), but maybe, just maybe he also remember every loop and Henry might'be promised him that he'll do everything he can to save them all and take them out from workshop. And after so many loops, Sammy finally had had enough.

It's half baked theory at least, but I wanted to share it nonetheless.

That would be all I wanted to rant about. If you had read all of this, we'll, thank you for bearing with me.
