Tell me the game I should choose ( BATIM)

Don't worry, I'm just gonna spin it again.

Wheel of Gaming, no joking around! Tell me the mind-blowing theory we found!

*Game Theory intro but it's the 1930's  (Not gonna lie, this is absolutely amazing and creative)

Where, first: a special thank you to my friend, Ryder Bergen,

AKA, Footofaferret for composing that jazzy, lil' intro (YA LIKE JAZZ)

He's an up and coming creator that produces the series: A Brief History here on YouTube

So, show him some love and check him out!

I would recommend the 2018 year and review episode! (OH DEAR)

A very special shout-out to Reddit and Tumblr theorist, Dreamfisher,

for single-handedly putting Bendy and the Ink Machine back on my radar with some really fascinating observations!

Trust me! I thought I was done with this game, too!

Now that I've started digging through the game again,

What I found completely up-ends a lot of what I thought I knew about Bendy's story (NANI! OWO)

So, let's not waste any more time because we got a LOT to cover!

It's time to dive back into the inky depths of Joey Drew Studios, one more time.

Before we get to things that got me to question some of my earlier conclusions about the game,

Let me first call out something that seemed to confirm

one of the Bendy community's biggest fan-theories,

there does appear to be confirmation that,

At least at some point during the development process,

Bendy was planned to be revealed as Joey Drew ( HOW MAT HOW?)

Inspired by Dreamfisher's Reddit post, covering their theory on a one-eye Bendy,

I did something I hadn't really done for any of the previous episodes.

I dug specifically into the game's assets

Giving closer inspection to the 6,000 or so files used across the completed game's 5 chapters

Now, I have very, VERY limited experience with making games

Having only done a few rudimentary ones back in college

But one thing I DO know, is that it pays to be organized ( It does)

In Bendy, you're dealing with 1440 separate audio assets

So, without any sort of clear labeling system, you're gonna be searching for a LONG time

Or else, you're suddenly gonna give Alice Angel some random ink splat sound effect (Splatoon?)

Luckily, Bendy's developers, TheMeatly and Mike Mood

have done an excellent job of keeping all their files clearly labeled

All character voices are marked with DIA for dialogue

followed by the chapter it's specifically being used in

Another titling convention they seem to use for Chapter 5,

was alternating titles in all caps based on the scene that it was in 

As you go into the Sammy Lawrence battle early on in Chapter 5

All of the audio clips from that section are in caps.

Like someone shouting for attention on Twitter.

"I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING! AND YOU LEFT ME TO ROT!"

*Sammy fight along with fighting and grunting sounds*

we enter a short cutscene with Alice and Boris.

At which point all the files names go to lowercase

(Alice) "Oh, that was close. You're lucky we were in the neighborhood."

Once the battle resumes with a new onslaught of Searchers,

Each segment of the battle is grouped based on its casing

In the files, the final boss fight against Bendy has Henry's one line:

(Joey probably) "But he's never seen, The End." 
Henry: "The End"

But there appears to be another unused line during that same segment

This then leads directly to a series of Beast Bendy

audio files all in lowercase before going into Joey's final speech

in the game's ending audio which ends in caps.

"I didn't expect you for another hour, yet."

So the naming pattern still fits, but also

In designing the game, the team did an amazing job reflecting audio reverb

to reflect the room scale that they're in.

Large, and full of echoes in the giant Ink Machine chamber,

And now compare the audio of The End, with Joey's opening line in the kitchen.

The real world audio with Joey Drew is much deader, there's no echo. No reverb.
