BATDR Trailer Analysis



1. It seems that the Unknown will be the main antagonist. He continues to sound sinister and creepy. We now know that he’s trapped inside the studio together with us. Was he the one who kickstarted the girl’s transformation into an ink creature?



2. The girl we play as is NOT Linda. Linda is around 60 years old at the time of BATIM and Henry talks about her like she’s still alive outside. The main character’s voice sounds very young and the Unknown refers to her as a “girl”, which doesn’t fit a 60 year old granny. Henry also sounded young, but for all we know he was fully an ink creature at the time of BATIM. This girl is still mostly human, so she would sound her age.

3. We finally know how a person becomes an ink creature. They do not die in order for their soul to enter an ink figure - they physically transform from a human to a being of ink. But if that’s the case, then where do the bodies in the coffins come from? We know that Grant has transformed, since there’s a tape named “grant_transformation” in chapter 4. But Grant’s name also appears on the coffin. If his body physically turned into ink, what is lying inside the coffin? Are the coffins actually empty, and the names are symbolical? Strange…



4. The girl is acting like her transformation into an ink creature has only just begun. But she already has the new gent pipe and knows how to use it - meaning she’s been inside the studio for a while by now. This means that she will start off as a human at the beginning of the game, coming inside the studio for the first time, and she will gradually transform into an ink creature as we play.

5. Take a close look at the girls hand before and after she kills the Piper

It seems that killing ink creatures is the thing that accelerates or perhaps even causes her transformation into one.



This raises an interesting questions - was this the same for Henry?



6. There’s at least one creature inside the studio, which seems to want to keep the Ink Machine running forever.

It doesn’t seem like they want Henry to set them free.

7. Why would someone create a lock that can only be opened via an electric gent pipe?

Notice that the door can only be opened from one side - it was intended to keep something out.



Assuming there’s only one electric Gent pipe inside the studio, it was probably the work of the same person who created this lock. Someone wanted to ensure that only they can open this door.

8. More One-Eyed Bendy symbolism!

Why, hello there, Bender! Good to see you again ;)



9. The way the Piper died in the trailer is strongly reminiscent of the way that Bendy withered away at the end of BATIM.

When we play the End Reel, the vision has not yet started. The Ink Demon is severly weakened, but he still finds enough strength to growl at Henry and reach out to kill him.

It’s only AFTER touching Henry, that the vision starts and Bendy is quite literally blown away.

The same thing happens when the girl in the trailer touches Piper - the vision effect begins, and he disintegrates.



This would imply that although the End Reel made the Ink Demon weaker, it was actually Henry’s vision-touch that killed him!

10. This Bendy cutout looks fake

It has crooked teeth, looks sketched, and the hands are lacking the dots. It’s like someone with no artistic abilities was trying to make a new cutout.
