very despicable things

(a bit late but i left this in my drafts and forgor lmao)

Depite the trend being to 'just listen and not judge', i'm still very open to hearing your opinion on anything i bring up so feel free to comment.

The only thing stopping BATDR from being better than BATIM is it's story.

BATIM introduced Bendy's overall narrative as "Greedy immoral studio founder toys with the concept of mixing automaton and ritualism at the expense of his company, employees and characters."

We were being told about lives being sacrificed to the ink machine, the unethical gamble of trial and error to birth life and at the end the revealing of Henry's fate being trapped in an illustrated purgatory, trapped by Joey.

Now with BATDR, we find out that the GENT Corporation is the greater evil than Joey, the company using JDS as a front to continue experimenting on the ink creatures that were manifested by their machine to the point where they can not only manipulate them through fuckin signal towers but even made the INK DEMON powerless. I get that this is somewhat of a dystopia concept but how do the mechanical aspects coincide with the rituals?? Oh and we find out that Henry in BATIM was actually just a copy of the real person, made for Joey's petty amusement and Sammy just dies cause apparently Lord Amok was more important than the ACTUAL leader of the lost ones. I feel like Sammy would've been the final boss for Chapter 3. Like, I get that “oh there’s more than one cultist group in the cycle” concept but could’ve atleast did a thing where the two groups of followers clashed you know?

Making the books non-canon definitely didn't help either. It's probably because they don't want to capitalize on lore details through merchandise unlike some titles but it makes theory-crafting alot harder for us without the depth the books could've given.

And again, those atleast gave us a rough idea on how JDS was like (atleast theoretically) but we have little to barely anything on GENT.

oh yea

IM A FISH - Tyler

as a bonus, have the draft I made on my Instagram story in the shower

This should be the same safe house from BATIM Chapter 3 and BATDS but with the updated BATDR textures.

Ditto with the audio log getting updated.

Interestingly Allison narrates,

"Every day it seems Mr. Drew loses more and more interest in the project. Almost as if something else has captured his imagination."

LONE WOLF takes place between Ink Machine and Dark Revival so this might be our look at the ink beings' reactions to the changes GENT/Wilson have been making to the loop, mistaking it for Joey.

Turrets! Though we don't see them in action in the trailer, I feel like this will work similarly to Bioshock. Turrets attack you until you damage it enough till it goes offline, giving you time and access to hack it to work in your favour instead.

Self-defense mechanics! No need to keep running till you find a miracle station or just perish from no sprint!

Looks like we're going back to Bendy Land!

Ink Widows are now an enemy type!

It could be a stretch to say that this is the bad ending but could be the death animation.

Interestingly, there's a red glow emitting from the ink swallowing Boris.

This is now the second instance of Red in the Bendy series, the first being in a screenshot of The Cage. We could see this further explored and explained there.

Traps! Noticeably in the second pic, Lord Amok's symbol is on the trap. There could be 2 different types of traps, one being placed by Boris and won't damage and one is a environmental type that damages us.

Quality of life update, you can now change your perspective!

We might be able to find materials in lockers to either upgrade or build new weapons and MAYBE more lore.

Boris animatronic enemy! Seeing as we're adventuring through Bendy Land, we might also encounter the Bendy animatronic and possibly an Alice as well.

This is either a new addition to our spawn hub like other rooms in previous updates of Dark Survival OR an arcade room you can find in one of the levels (or both)

The sledgehammer Boris wields earlier in the trailer came be seen next to Butcher Bash so this might be where we find that after playing it as a mini game.

(small note: look at all of them in plush form!)

And of course, the new Ink Demon model. Sad to see the BATIM Ink Demon go but hopefully we also see a new mechanic or two with this new one.

BONUS: ALICE ANGEL AND SAMMY LAWRENCE ARE CONFIRMED TO APPEAR IN LONE WOLF

An official still of Alice can be found in the LW Press Kit on the JDS Website, Sammy is in the gif in the description of the steam page and website.

Don't tell Pastra, Alice's model looks updated here! Way more polished and detailed than BATDR, love it.

‪Never realized how much the first gameplay trailer footage looked more like a fan-game made in 2018 rather than an actual game by the same devs.

Don’t get me wrong, the fan-games in the community were amazing, especially that one game everyone mistook or took as BATDR, but it’s the details that make a difference that really make the years of silence and lack of transparency worth the wait.
