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

[@surrealkunstlerin]

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.

[@ewnot.sophie]

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

[@n_kau]

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.

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.

[@chrimsonphantom]

@jerboe9346 the poster to the new game had color.

[@chrimsonphantom]

@jerboe9346 actually I just realized since you said it flew over everyone's head that color was introduce last game. That in this game when we hear the car crash and we see blood appear on the painting. We realize that it's blood so fast even if we could figure out that the parents died, is because blood is red. Red came out of the ink painting.

[@MoodyMickey]

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.

[@compassrose1466]

Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked. It reminds me of Resident Evil 7/8 where the daughter also has the powers. But honestly, to me it sounds like this one character has two different personalities that may have split due to the ink. So it’s you vs your other half and not a sister. Idk.

I was thinking that too. If Riley didn’t get Henry’s last name Stein, maybe she was adopted by her mother’s side, so her name is changed to Wells.

Thank you for mentioning the song that plays on the phonograph! I felt like I was one of the only people who figured out the lyrics! I also don’t think that Bendy in Nightmare Run is part of the story anymore, since the game was discontinued. I’m pretty sure that the car monster we see is not Gaskette, but Blood-Wheel who was mentioned in the song. I think the devs just recycled Gaskette’s design to use for her. I also want to acknowledge the possibility that Riley’s parents could have been killed in a hit and run instead of a traffic accident, given the fact that there doesn’t seem to be any implication of a car that the parents were in and the song refers to stepping out into the road. Joey Drew Studios is also located in New York City, and it seems to be a bit of a joke that NYC cab drivers (the car is specifically a taxi) aren’t known for stopping or slowing for pedestrians.

[@LonelyPandora]

Didn't realized that the taxi car that chased us down was called Bloodwheel. After listening to the creepy lullaby, for a moment I thought that maybe Riley may have ended up becoming Bloodwheel if Gent had subjected her to their experiments. But if she's to become the new villain, I guess it would make sense that they would be more monstrous ink creatures that we will see in Bendy 3. Also the fact that now Bendy/Ink Demon isn't in the machine, Gent would quickly take his place to take control of the ink world just like Wilson but seeing how Audrey and Bendy were able to get out of the ink machine, I believe that would be their goal. To use the ink world to create and test their experiment for their attempt to bring them to life.

The car accident is one thing I had in mind. If this is a real car crash that Riley’s parents passing, then this story is true. Or perhaps I would think that they died from a hit and run while the suspect is nowhere to be found. Trauma which she only see the car, not the driver.

[@dawson687]

I do have a theory that when Riley went to go work a gent clicking on the ink well is probably symbolic of Riley turning into the taxi being gents first experiment and also when human characters get attached to cartoon characters love or hate they end up becoming the same take susie cambel and Alice angle for example

I'm surprised no-one has picked up on the fact that the building is called "the drawing board." What's interesting about that is the fact that there's an old saying that some people use when plans go awry - "Back to the drawing board." This implies the whole building and everything in it represents things that did not go according to plan and we are experiencing them, perhaps in a vision or dream-like sequence, coagulated and combined into this ever evolving entity that changes whenever something goes wrong. We are literally going 'back to the drawing board' each and every time.

I'm beginning to wonder if the mysterious ink in the ink machine is as volatile as the "mood slime" from Ghostbuster 2. As evident from the past two main titles and the possibly in "The Cage", souls with a strong negative emotion usually ends up twisted and distorted, while those that are generally good-natured are relatively ok. However, it really is difficult to gauge this idea without truly knowing who's a trap soul or who's just a copy of someone. As for Bendy himself, who is created without a soul, who knows what vibes he felt when he first awoken.

[@shacharlem4424]

I have an idea that for a future game, the ink demon should become a dad (both as a foil to joey and Audrey and as a way to explore his more sensitive sides). The Idea is that 6 kids with tragic backgrounds (at the age range of 9-14) found their way into the cycle and ended up In a dying state. The ink demon found them and intended to make them other pawns for him to use, so he rescued them from dying by taking their souls and giving them ink Bodies with powers based on their characteristics. However, along the way they sort of started to grow on him And he started to see them as more than pawns and as people who are really important to him. This is because never really feared him and saw him as a benevolent figure who was there for them when no one else could (think of it like a more demented version of despicable me). Each kid is named after a classic cartoon character of sorts with their ink forms mostly based on modern human kids cartoon characters. There are three boys and three girls in total, each with their own set of powers, skills and personalities. The kids are lulu (named after little lulu and her ink form has an appearance reminiscent of Luke Pearson's Hilda), olive (named after olive oyl and her ink form has an appearance reminiscent of thomas austruc's Marinette), Felix (named after Felix the cat and his ink form has an appearance reminiscent of Patrick McHale's wirt), Wednesday (named after Wednesday Addams and her ink form has an appearance reminiscent of Dana terrace's Luz Noceda), Annie (named after Little Orphant Annie her ink form has an appearance reminiscent of Owen Denis's Tulip Olsen and Julia Vickerman's Reggie Abbott) and Casper (named after Casper the friendly Ghost and his ink form has an appearance reminiscent of innocence boy characters like Enrico Casarosa's Jesse Andrews' and Simon Stephenson's Luca paguro and Carl Harvey Greenblatt's Harvey beaks).

[@HolaPaisano]

I don't know of you noticed but the Gent that gets cut off sometimes will Display "Gen 1" or "Generation 1"

Looking for the happiest year of my life

[@twistedwonderland1043]

I find it really funny that this game always forces you back to the Drawing Board.

[@toypikachutheoctoling6029]

I feel like we'll get more story on Riley in either Silent City or The Cage, and it leads to either her being the hero of B3ndy or the villian and eventual cross paths with either Audrey or Henry

[@lucusjadryev4942]

Why not both

[@alvarolopez1414]

This guy never stops and in happy that he doesn’t

[@libramoon1582]

Now I'm curious to learn about Gent Corporation's secret experiments with the Ink Machine and Riley's descent into darkness after being terminated by Joey Drew Studios for her morbid artwork

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Im wondering how Riley was able to find work at joey Drew when all her art is disturbing.

[@matthaygood654]

Her drawings might've be childish and friendly at first, but slowly got more and more disturbing as she continued.

[@ReeseMicahTuico]

But she’s a good artist

[@Nightmare-Studios25]

Why can an artist live a good life in any of these games

[@jonathanwassabi5714]

At 2:09 That’s a very Warming welcome, Thx Ragtime Guffie 😃😃

[@averagegamecritic]

Reminds me of the theater creepypasta game. Wanna say that may’ve been the inspiration. While she SEEMS not mean, same with the Alice Angel situation. She could be warped. Not intrinsically evil, but tainted.

[@Helpy_Hand]

Im just happy that the old graphics came back

[@thegamingvetYT]

This is great and it was a great way to introduce us to some new characters in the bendy universe.

[@Revenant7125]

When I heard the creepy lullaby I couldn’t sleep

[@Beffingtin]

“May your dreams come true somewhere else” is wild

[@Liamking7984]

Yeah a new story explained video there my favourites

[@TotallyNotIceOwl]

I personally believe that Bendy dancing is extremely important to the lore

[@DellCTRL]

Ink demon bendy just having a rave with other ink creations lmao
