For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Bendy and the Ink machine is a light-horror adventure game. The game's most striking feature is that it maintains a 1930s cartoon aesthetic, albeit with creepy dilapidated, worn out, and rusty environments. It has a monochromatic palette art style, with mostly black, white, and sepia yellow tones. Gameplay involves exploring a creepy abandoned animation studio, fetching mini quests, solving puzzles, fighting enemies, and overcoming a few stealth sections. The game takes approximately 4 hours to complete a first playthrough. + The art style is gorgeous, and runs really well in 4K HDR. The graphics are really sharp and beautiful. + Excellent use of lighting. + The story is original and interesting. + The sound effects are well made, especially on headphones during the stealth sections. + Unique and original monsters. Well designed boss fights. + Real voice acting. - Later levels are maze-like. It is easy to get lost and frustrated in certain environments. - One game breaking bug was never fixed by developers in 10 years since release. During one certain stealth section a small amount of players might have to redo an hour of gameplay. - Combat is a bit too basic, not enough weapon variety. Excellent style and atmosphere overcomes shortcomings in the gameplay department. Overall: 8/10

While the gameplay could be better and final boss battle a bit underwhelming, this game is still one of the most refreshingly original and atmospheric horror games ever. It's truly a one of a kind game with great story telling, slowburn suspense and a fascinating world. Easily one of the best indie horror games of the golden era.
First playthrough review time. Bendy and the Ink Machine is a first person horror game with a very different style compared to many other games in the genre. It combines an old cartoon look with a dark and mysterious atmosphere, creating a world that feels unusual from the beginning. The design has a distinct style, especially in how the game builds its atmosphere. The game has detailed environments and the abandoned studio setting is filled with small details that make the world more interesting to explore. The classic animation style gives the game a unique identity, and the story, characters, and voice acting help make the experience more interesting. There is clear detail in the design, especially in how the game builds its atmosphere. Overall, Bendy and the Ink Machine is a creative horror game with a style that makes it stand out. The presentation, mystery, and storytelling keep the experience interesting from beginning to end. This is a game with combination of animation, horror, and nice design.
Спершу гра не здалась лячною(хоча по факту, не прям що дуже лячна). На початку був момент, коли виліз можна сказати скрімер і трохи налякав. Але загалом, далі звикаєш до виду деяких персонажів. Гра цікава. Кожна глава відкриває нам щось нове і з чимось знайомить. Для мене це було більше як головоломка, ніж жахастик.
Its a really cool horror game and i grew up watching fgteev playing it and now im playing it myself it has a really good story but has a lot of puzzles.
Absolutely one of the gratest games I've ever played. Every chapter feels so fresh and uniqe and the ending was suprisingly good.
Art is nice, but the gameplay and mechanics are really outdated, the game is like a walking sim with horrible pacing, lack luster bossfights(if you can call it that). If this game seems interesting bcs of art, go for it. Horror is pretty mild and nothing scary(for me). But as Ive beaten the game, for me its a no
Maravillosa Experiencia muy recomendable si te gusta el terror y los cartoons clásicos una mezcla original y única ha sido una gran experiencia pasarlo, ya ando con el 2 porque ese final te deja mas preguntas que respuestas, sin mas un 10/10 para un juego narrativo y de terror esta muy bueno para ser la primera entrega.
This game was some hot garbage. For a game that is currently sitting at Very Positive on Steam and is known for being one of the indie games that helped pioneer mascot horror, it truly is a steaming pile of crap. Fps was terrible Movement was unbearably slow Boss "fights" were comically boring Horror was nonexistent Story was lackluster What else is there to say? Stylistically it looked cool I suppose? I don't see the hype for this game.
After several years of procrasinating finishing this game I finally did! and what did I think? well- i'm quite disappointed lmao, i'm incredibly surprised Bendy was able to become a pillar in mascot horror while it's first game is just so boring and not fun I understand this title was made by a tiny tiny team and I shouldn't be too harsh but the amount this game goes from mediocre to just plain bad by the final chapter is insane, hyping up this villain the entire game just for the final boss to be as simple or even more so then the beefed up Boris fight just a few chapters before it, it's absolutely laughable
