EVERY Secret Henry Message Analyzed! (Bendy & the Ink Machine Chapter 1-5 Secrets)

Imagine being Susie Campbell and you’re giving your big monologue to Henry. You then watch him start scribbling Blah’s on the floor.

I think "Joey Drew nothing" means Henry did all the work and created the characters, and Joey took the credit for doing nothing

I think the "time wounds all heels" message is actually just Henry complaining that his feet hurt.

Henry is losing his memory as he gets closer and closer to the “end” of his journey. In the beginning he remembers pretty much everything: markings on how many times he’s been restarted, his comments about Joey, don’t turn on the machine, and so on. However, in Chapter 3 he writes “Who am I now?” “Why am I doing this?” Showing he’s starting to slip and forget. Also when you look at what Henry wrote in chapter 4 he writes “there’s no turning back” it just shows that he no longer has certainty of his memory from that point forward which shows in his chapter 5 messages: “it’s inside the vault!” “What door?” Then he resets everything including himself.

And how Joey said at the very end of the game. "Henry! I wasn't expecting you for another hour now." Indicating that Henry's been seeing Joey the same way over and over again. And when Joey said "But I know, I know. You have questions. You always do." Indicating there that Henry has been waking up in Joey's house and asking him questions about what's been happening to him. Just showing that Henry's been going through the same thing with no ending to be seen from miles. Or in this case... Years. 😞

Remember when Alice(good one) said that she felt like going around circles when she followed what the messages Henry left? It's as if following everything what Henry wrote leads in an infinite loop.

Who else can imagine Henry while he drew the halo on Allison, and she’s just like “Henry? What are you doing???” And he’s just like “STAND STILL DON’T RUIN THIS”

I think the message “the drinks were on Joey” means that maybe because Joey kind of never really kept his promises means that like Joey was supposed to like “pay” for those drinks, and he didn’t. Sort of like how he promised Susie that she would be Alice angel, and she would be beautiful if she ate the hearts and the body parts of the lost ones, and that didn’t happen. That’s a theory of mine. Have a good day!

"I don't sing with psychos" That shade tho-

beast bendy: *nearly kills mike* mike: so if you look at this message it says—

29:31 "Bendy...? Where's the door?" "It's right there, see? I drew it with a magic marker."

There is a silver lining here, Henry is able to write messages that survive the world being reset when the Loop repeats, he is capable of remembering events after each loop restarts and warn himself of what is to come. Now, come us beating the game, he finally figures out how to keep the Looking Glass with him when the loop resets this time around. Henry is Slowly, but surely breaking the loop. He is figuring it out, and is making progress to finding a way to ultimately change events entirely during each loop, and we are seeing evidence that he is managing to get to new places during each loop, for example the “She will leave you for Dead.” Message is outside Henry’s cage in chapter 5, implying that at some point he managed to bust out of there prematurely, another example is the Toilet in chapter 1, “Can I get a little Privacy?”.

I think the “the drinks are on Joey” is meaning that Joey should pay for this, he should pay for the drinks, but in this circumstance he should pay for what he’s done

I just wanted to tell you that the hidden message “nothing” is suppose to show Henry’s anger about how “Joey DREW NOTHING”

Henry is just like "Ah shit, here we go again."

There is only one easy way to break the loop. Remember henry writing "Don't go through the door"? That means the door you go through to enter the workshop, if henry somehow gets his memory back, he can avoid listening to joey and going through that door. which will result in breaking the loop.

I've seen some people wonder how Henry can write in invisible ink, so I would like to share my thoughts on it. I don't think the messages are written in invisible ink. I think when Henry wrote them, which was obviously in previous loops, he used the same, very visible ink that is used for all the normal messages we see throughout. The thing is, when he resets the loop the messages disappear, as the new loop wipes clean all the influence that Henry had on the previous loop. The messages that the Looking Glass reveals don't actually exist in the loop you currently play, they existed in loops Henry has already gone through, that's why they're invisible. Basically, the Looking Glass doesn't show messages that are written in invisible ink, it, somehow, shows messages from past loops that should no longer exist. That's what I think, anyway.

During the fight with Sammy in Chapter 5, I became a coward and ran away from him. This gave me the opportunity to hear some interesting dialogues from him. First, he said 'My Lord! Why have you forsaken me!?' and then 'I'm going to cut that smile off your face!'. This proves to me that Sammy thought Henry was Bendy, because he's the one whom Sammy calls lord and is always smiling. So it makes me wonder: did Henry become Bendy? EDIT: ok now we know Sammy is just insane 😂

27:02 Imagine henry just sitting there for hours making shore it doesn't move.

The giant message on the big staircase in chapter 3 says: Be kind to the people you meet on the way because you're going to meet the same people on the way down.
