Bendy and the ink machine one shots and headcannons

My second theory.

So, my second theory.

If you didn't read the first part, I basically went over my first theory for the story of bendy. My second theory goes a little like this.

Joey hires Gent engineers to build his giant ink machine, right? This device basically makes his studio into a pocket dimension. This dimension is representative of Joeys morals, and what his plans were, but they didn't quite work out. So, after all his workers leave because of either Joey going nuts, or not being paid, he uses his abilities of manipulation to bait them back, a few at a time. You know, buttering them up and all to get them back, that kind of thing.

They all go to the studio, and enter the pocket dimension. They enter as regular people, and through a series of unfortunate, and ink related events, lose their memory, and wined up as what they are now. Via the ink machine, they're all transformed into what they are now. The giant ink machine has turned the ENTIRE STUDIO into a hellscape. Joey didn't plan for it, but all his failed creations he'd tried to make with gent engineers are freed, and soulless. So they're basically killing machines.

But you know all of the tally marks and messages in the first chapter, and rest of the game?

That's Henry, telling himself over and over what has to happen for his to survive. All those tally marks are how many times he's been through the story.

The pocket dimension is a loop, basically. It's like a cartoon itself. It's got a beginning, a middle, and an end. But once Henry gets to the end, the entire thing repeats. The ink machine resets, and the entire thing repeats. To break the loop, Henry must destroy the machine. That device he has, he stole from Tom during one of the cycles.

He's been trying for so long, but he's not quit grasped yet how to end the story.

The dimension kind of works like a cartoon, as well. The physics are broken like a cartoon, and the style is so different when compared to the real life style we see in chapter five.

Why Joey did this, you may ask, is simple. He wanted his amusement park, and work to be real, so it'd bring him back from the debt he was in, and give him his empire he wanted.

I might end up doing a therapy session with Joey at some point. Do something entertaining. Explain his morals, and his whole thought process or something. But anyways- that's my second theory.
