Welcome Back to the Workshop… If You Dare
Once the lead animator during Joey Drew Studios’ golden age, Henry thought his days of bringing cartoon characters to life were long behind him, a distant memory fading with time. But decades later, a cryptic and unsettling invitation arrives, pulling him back to the dilapidated and now eerily silent studio. Little does he know that this return journey will plunge him into a nightmarish world of living ink, fragmented and broken memories, and something sinister that should have remained buried and forgotten.
Step into Henry’s worn shoes as he cautiously explores the ruined and decaying halls of what was once a beloved animation empire. But be ready, it is now completely overrun with unimaginable nightmares. Every darkened corner seems to conceal a hidden secret; every echoing hallway whispers with something profoundly unnatural. And somewhere within the inky depths, well, Bendy is patiently waiting.
