Lore-Filled ‘Bendy: Secrets of the Machine’ Available Now For Free on Steam
After the release of Bendy and the Dark Revival back in 2022, fans of Joey Draw Studios’ series are understandably hungry for more. As luck would have it, Joey Draw Studios has enlisted the help of developer Gent Corporation (a not-so-subtle nod to the contracting firm of the same name in the Bendy series) with the release of a brand new entry on Steam with Bendy: Secrets of the Machine. Best of all, it’s free!
Taking a route of mystery this time, there’s little in the way of plot for Secrets of the Machine. The summary on Steam states that you are Subject #131389145, and you’re exploring a series of rooms, and solving the puzzles within. Those puzzles involve you throwing cans at various objects, which in turn unlock new areas and reveal tidbits of lore.
Really, that lore dump appears to be the main purpose of Bendy: Secrets of the Machine. Fans have been busy on the fan wiki detailing what sort of clues they’ve uncovered while playing (don’t read if you’re not a fan of spoilers). Speculation is that this is all a prelude to the next game in the series in Bendy: The Cage, which is slated for a release later this year on Steam.
We’ll be waiting a little while longer for developer Studio Cut to Bits’ gothic Metroidvania Venture to the Vile. Originally slated to launch on PC via Steam on May 7, the game has now been pushed a couple of weeks to May 22. The PlayStation release of Venture to the Vile is still expected later this year.
In a press release, Venture to the Vile producer Masao Kobayashi explains the decision to delay the release, stating that while Studio Cut to Bits is made up of industry veterans, this is the first time that the team has released a game as indie developers. As such, the team encountered a few hurdles leading up to the original release date.
“We all love Venture to the Vile and want to make sure we are delivering the best possible game we can for our players. For this reason, we have decided to delay our game by two weeks. I’m sorry to those who have been anticipating our game but I assure you it is going to be worth the wait.”
Venture to the Vile centres on the town of Rainybrook, where an unknown darkness is taking over, transforming anything and anyone it touches. Fortunately for you, you seem to be unaffected by this presence. However, your friend Ella is nowhere to be seen. You must brave the horrors and find her.
