BATIM but in a alternate universe
DISCLAIMER: This game is not created by me, it was originally created by indie development studio "The Drawing Board" back in 2013. I am merely using Gamejolt as a place to archive anything I find regarding it.
----------------------------------------------------
Bendy and the Ink Machine (Henceforth referred to as B&TIM) was obscure indie horror game from 2013 created by a small team of developers who's names have been lost to history. There is currently no known builds of B&TIM but those who played it back in the day compared it (rather negatively) to the "Weeknights at the Arcade" series from Chuck E. Cheese.
B&TIM was, according to all sources, a pretty terrible game. The story was bizarre, the graphics were... interesting, and the studio that made it shut down before the game was ever finished.
But it is still an important piece of history. There are those who have alleged that the Mickey's Playhouse horror game from Disney was heavily inspired by B&TIM, though this is unproven.
Regardless, B&TIM is representative of an earlier era of horror games and I am doing my best to archive everything related to it. As I write this, I am tracking down a new lead from someone who claims to have played the early access version back in the day.
