"On the plus side, I got a new character I think people are going to love." - Henry Stein
This article may contain unmarked details of spoilers. If you wish not to read without spoiling yourself, play the game, watch the cartoon, or read the book first, depending on the article's topic.
This is a list of all secrets in Bendy and the Ink Machine. This includes references to video games, YouTubers, and the game developers themselves, along with hidden Easter eggs that are easy to miss.
Using the Seeing Tool next to each music radios, the messages will display references to respective lyrics: "Listening and Always Watching" (Kyle's Bendy and the Ink Machine song), "Creator You Traitor" (Build Our Machine), and "How Could One Resist This?" (Bendy and the Ink Musical).
Horror Visions[]
A Horror Vision of a Wheelchair that is seen at the end of the first chapter.
Horror visions are event-based hallucinations, which Henry experiences throughout the chapters of Bendy and the Ink Machine, even used for unexpectedly startling the player. It is currently unexplained how the hallucinations appear during the events in-game.
Secret Messages[]
Several messages that can be seen within the prison by using the Seeing Tool.
The secret messages are messages written on the walls of the studio that can be only seen by the Seeing Tool. These messages contain references, hidden lore, references, and few jokes.
The Wandering Sin is an out-of-bounds secret that cannot be found in normal gameplay but only seen through hacks.
Other Secrets[]
Bendy's Whistle[]
In Chapter 2, after escaping the ritual room, walk in backwards to the corridor maze's ink-flooded room and hug against the door. If waiting long enough, Bendy's whistle will be heard.
Broken Headphones[]
The broken headphones from the crate.
From Chapter 3: Rise and Fall, on Level 14, it is possible to find a broken pair of headphones on the other wooden crate next to the one with Norman Polk's audio log. This is a reference to the YouTuber TZKUnit, after he discovered a glitch in the game.
"Top of the Morning"[]
In Chapter 3, using the Seeing Tool on Shawn Flynn's audio log will reveal the message "Top of the Morning", a reference to Jacksepticeye's catchphrase at the beginning of all of his videos.
Sammy's Hidden Voice[]
In Chapter 3, there are instruments in one of the stairway halls on Level 11. Play the instruments in the following order:
Bass
Drum
Violin
Piano
Drum
If done it correctly, Sammy Lawrence's disembodied voice will be heard speaking with the message: "We've all been waiting, but now, he will set... us... free..."
In Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders, just after riding the lift across the cavern, use the seeing tool on one of the boxes and it will reveal a heart. This is a reference to Companion Cubes from the Portal series.
In the start of Chapter 5: The Last Reel, there is a school of gold-scaled fish in the water tank behind the prison bed, likely representing Bookpast himself. Before the chapter's release, while his previous profile picture is an image of a electric yellow cichlid, Bookpast updated it with the fish's model as a brief leak.
