This game has a lot of positive reviews, and by looking at some of them I'm not sure how many of them actually played the game. I mean, the achievement for beating the game has 7.5% completion and a lot of the comments have memey vibes to them. So I'm going to play devil's advocate here:

This game is pretty stinky.

I won't like fully blast the game because it is from a small dev team and it does legitimately seem like there was true love and passion put into the game, but it's just not enough to justify the many flaws. I think it will be easiest to explain with a simple pros and cons list:

Pros
  • Original concept and a well written story.
  • Interesting art style.
  • Decent voice acting from the supporting cast.
  • Character design is alright and in one cast actually a bit creepy.
  • uhhh...
Okay on to the cons

Cons
  • Episodic content renders game totally disjointed in story, tone and gameplay.
  • Plotlines, characters and mechanics are quickly introduced at the 11th hour and never concluded.
  • Many sequences lack ambient scary music which would have really helped build tension.
  • Enemies chasing you will forget about you the INSTANT you hide in a closet and walk away, I've never seen horror game
    enemy AI with such short attention spans.
  • Frankly pathetic boss fights. You should never be standing there politely waiting for a boss to slowly walk across the room to wind up an attack that you can effortlessly dodge.
  • Protagonist voice actor did such a bizarre job, sounded like he recorded all his lines in a public library and didn't want to cause a scene so he spoke the whole time in a really hushed way.
  • Not actually scary. There are a few really loud jumpscares but game completely fails to build any tension or fear. Bendy
    himself was scary at first but quickly had a 'face-timing Bendy at 3am youtube video' feel to him if you get what I mean.
  • Buggy as hell. I lost progress due to save file errors, soft locks and crashes. General FPS is very poor too.
  • A 5 and a half minute long unskipple cutscene.
Okay, I guess I did rip into the game pretty hard after all.

TL;DR
I think a good summary of the game is that it feels like a Borderlands side quest. It's janky, at one stage you have to fetch meaningless items and deposit them into a drop box for a character behind a door, and most of all, it's not very much fun. Maybe this game would be cool for like a little kid as their first horror game that they can play, it sorta feels like it's geared at children anyway.
