I honestly am kind of neutral when it comes to this film - i highly see why people dislike it.

I've been doing FNAF voices lately, but for DVloper, these are the characters that came to thought. Whoever has the most requests i will voice.

Characters: Springtrap, Freddy Kreuger, and Chucky

Throught my time as a content creator and horror lover, I mostly try and aknowlege the positives of horror, especially Mascot horror. The thing about Mascot Horror to me is that it's concept takes a cutesy character or image, but throw in dark elements, as well as the classics trophes that make up for Survival Horror. One example would without a doubt be the Five nights at Freddy's series, which is one of my top favorites. However alongside that, is an indie horror game that both blends 20's cartoon styles with an unsettling atmosphere.

From the title, I'll be reviewing Bendy and the ink machine, without a doubt one of my favorite mascot horror games, and in horror games in general.

Before I go into what the game is about, as for visuals, this game looks beautiful. The lighting is crisp, and there's these elements of "fog" that build up to the charm of the art style - the ink flowing animations are also peak. And speaking of the art style, the game centers around this cartoon, abstract art style which mimics old 20's rubber hose style cartoons, while keeping a yellowish, non-color apearence, as the building it takes place in is rotting away, or yellowing like how paper does over time. The soundtrack and sound design can be outstanding, and both frightening at some times, like the chase music, which really kicks off your anxiety. The model animations are also professional, and well made.

This game is very special to me, as well as it's sequel, that as a creator, for fan work, I recently did my voice take on the game's main villian, The Ink Demon.

This game started out with releases of each other chapter in each update, eventually them being remastered into one full game.

The game centers around the New York area, in an old animation studio called "Joey Drew Studios". The place was founded in lore in the 20's by business parters Henry Stein, and Joey Drew. The company sky rocketed with the creation of Bendy, which would become their most iconic creation. During the animations, and team expanding, several other characters like Boris the wolf, and Alice Angel would be created, as well as voice actors being hired. However, this is where the darker elements take place. Henry eventually retired and left the studio, and later, the studio faced countless allegations from the IRS, the place shutting down, and being supposedly abandoned indefinitely.

Years later, which is the events of this game, you play as Henry, who got invited to the old studio because Jeoy wanted to "show him something".

This is where interest in the game sparks, as you wonder why you were invited back, and you're up to explore, and oh boy, is there a LOT of that. Soon, of course, things start to get scary. The main villian of the game is an entity known as "The Ink Demon", an entity resembling Bendy, but in an abstract, horrifying way, and he was brought into the world through rituals, sacrifice, and the ink machine itself, as well as the cursed ink. And oh boy, does the game make it clear that HE is a threat. Just, if you're in a hallway, and there's nowhere to hide, and you just see his ink trails, your fight or flight response kicks in, frantically wondering what you should do, or if you should stay in one place, or try and snoop around without meeting the inevitable. And right when you see him, you know what type of monster he is - it just feels so... wrong staring at him, as well as his walking animations.

There are several other memorable villians, like Sammy Lawrence, introduced in Chapter 2, and Alice angel (or Demon Alice) introduced in Chapter 3. Of course, on top of that are memorable "good" characters, like Boris (clone), as well as the rebels known as "tom" and "Alison". Other than the ink Demon, my favorite villian would have to be Sammy Lawrence - he is the EXAMPLE of good horror writing.

The game also features combat, with several diferent weapons you obtain throughout the experience. The main non-serious problem is have is that combat can be a bit clunky, and can be just like more "hacking and slashing" more than an actual fight works. But, the several boss fights are memorable, and the monsters you kill, like searchers, pipers, fishers, ect all have designs that are memorable, but still terrifying at the same time.

As for atmosphere, the game NAILS a dark atmosphere, making the art style more memorable. There'd sometimes be dark hallways, or rooms, and you wouldn't know what was ahead. There's also sever secrets and easter eggs, most notably the clipping through wall easter eggs, to see preferences to the game creator, TheMeatly. It's very clear that this game's dev team had a passion for this project.

Overall, this game's art style is actually what inspired MY art style in my character redesigns, while having my own abstract aproach, much like a Tim Burton style. The sequel to this game, Bendy and the dark revival is far grounded than this first game, and a movie adaptation to this game has been announced, which i am highly looking forward to.

For me, I absolutely love this design.

Video name: my take on Springtrap's voice - REMASTERED. [Credit goes to David Near]

Summary: a remastered version on my old take of Springtrap's voice.

I created the thumbnail mostly in canva, but insisted the text in a photo editor. For future reference, any thoughts?

For context, this was from one of my posts (I deleted it) which is my take on The Boogeyman's voice from the Boogeyman horror games. This was posted to the horror sub reddit, and was a repost from a more smaller community, which is the horror games sub reddit.

The reason why I make this post is that with this voice take, I don't even know what to do with it anymore, or where to even post it anymore. I'm a content creator, and I previously did my take of Springtrap's voice, which a lot of people really liked. For the Boogeyman voice take, I used better voice filters and editing, and I fist posted it to my YouTube channel, then started the reddit post attempts.

However, this is where the BS starts to happen. Whenever I post it to the main horror sub reddit, people just downvote it like crazy when it's an improvement over my Springtrap voice. I post it elsewhere, and I still get hate, or nobody even LOOKS at the post. Like, seriously, do I deserve this hate? And i did this almost 15 times. 15 TIMES. I posted it to the main horror sub reddit again, to see if anything would change, but nope, still the same thing.

Like, seriously, I don't even know what to do. Other than hate, the moderators of sub reddits just remove it for no reason. Like, can I not even POST my damn works? This is just so idiotic.

If anyone would be nice enough to give alternatives / advice, I would really apreciate it. This situation is just so annoying.
