Tips
  • The mailboxes (dropboxes) along the city street can contain extra items.
  • Bendy's presence prevents the Ink Demon from appearing randomly.
  • Smash ten clay jars in the city area to trigger a giant moon Easter egg, a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
  • Knock five times on the boarded-up door across from the Downside Hotel to unlock the "It Stinks" Achievement/Trophy.
  • The Ink Demon may attack if you backtrack near the elevator shaft in the Gent Building.
  • Collectibles such as Audio Logs, Memos, Books, and Upgrades are scattered throughout these areas.
