Tips
  • While Bendy is with Audrey, the Ink Demon will not appear randomly.
  • Hitting Bendy with your pipe will not harm him.
  • Bendy will often sit down when Audrey stops moving.
  • The mailboxes (dropboxes) along the city street can be opened for extra items.
  • 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).
  • Lost Ones can respawn if you move between areas.
  • When fighting Lost Ones near the hotel entrance, step inside and stand near the doorway to limit their numbers.
  • The "Illusion of Living" Book (15/24) can be found on a shelf below a drawing board in the Old Studio.
