The video is a discussion and analysis of the game "Bendy and the Ink Machine" by Joey Drew Studios. The host, who goes by the name "Game Theory", starts by spinning a wheel of gaming to decide which game to discuss. He then delves into the game's assets, specifically the 6,000 or so files used across the completed game's 5 chapters. He mentions that the game's developers, TheMeatly and Mike Mood, have done an excellent job of keeping all their files clearly labeled.
The host then discusses a theory that contradicts some of his earlier conclusions about the game. He found evidence that, at some point during the development process, Bendy was planned to be revealed as Joey Drew. This theory is inspired by a Reddit post by Dreamfisher, who covered their theory on a one-eyed Bendy. The host also mentions that he dug specifically into the game's assets, giving closer inspection to the files used across the game's chapters.
The host then discusses the titling conventions and resonance in the game, which he believes provide evidence that Henry, a character in the game, expresses his shock at seeing Joey sometime between the start of the final Bendy fight and going to Joey's apartment. This gives further evidence that Bendy is Joey.
The host then discusses the 2D textures used throughout the game, which he believes hide more secrets than any of us could have ever suspected. He mentions a texture pack named: Props04_SHD-mat-_MainTex-atlas0, which contains a series of newspaper headlines, including one that reads "Local Artist Pushed Himself Too Hard, Found Dead At Desk". This headline, he believes, directly references Henry.
The host then discusses his final Bendy theory, which is that Henry got tricked and was sacrificed to the Ink Machine by Joey. He believes that Joey successfully lured everyone back to the office to sacrifice them to the machine, and that some people like Allison, Tom, and Wally just lucked out, they lived far enough away to take a meeting with their former boss said, "Thanks, but no thanks." But that other people, like Susie, Bertrum, and now Henry said "Yes" to the invite and became victims.
The host ends the video by saying that he believes his theory ties up a whole lot more loose ends and that it has a pretty good shot at being true. He also mentions that there is shockingly more Bendy in the works and that he will be there to theorize about the new project from theMeatly and Mike Mood coming down the pipeline.
