Bendy and the Ink Machine: Who's Laughing Now?

Sixteen-year-old Peter has spent most of his life trying to find a job and somewhere to publish his stories to escape the Lower East Side slums of New York City. He works as a delivery boy for his Mom's boss. A job Peter thinks will be his last. But all that changes when a delivery job puts him face-to-face with Mister Joey Drew, the eccentric owner of an animation studio.

Mister Drew takes Peter under his wing as a story writer, thrusting him into a world unlike Peter has ever seen before. There's the colourful cast of the studio, from the cranky yet driven composer Sammy Lawrence to Buddy, the studio gofer and Peter's neighbor. Working for Mister Drew, Peter starts to think that maybe it's really as simple as Mister Drew says: dreams do come true. But not everything is as picture-perfect as it seems...

Peter overhears Mister Drew talking to Thomas Connor about a machine and ink. Intrigued, Peter decides to find out what Mister Drew is up to. But what he doesn't know is the trap he's walked into.
