Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook: An AFK Book (Bendy) (Bendy and the Ink Machine)
C**T
Got to have it! A companion guide to read over and over again!
A must have for fans of Bendy and the Ink Machine Game.This book provides never before seen letters, newspaper excerpts, memos from memorable characters , and concept art for Joey Drew's Bendy Land that were alluded to in the game but is revealed in this book. While you might or might not be able to play the game have no fear! This book takes you through a narrative style through the game as if you were playing with your favorite youtuber or friend. Missed some Bacon Soup cans and missed getting the achievement on your game? Don't worry there is a guide and a map there too. Missed recording files on the first try or didn't bother with it? Have no fear! Each and every sound file 's in game transcripts can be found in the book as well. This book gives detail on each and every achievement in the game and how to get it.So what should entice you to purchase this book?When I bought this book I knew I had to get it due to the fact that for theorists and history buffs this book sold me out as the title said "Employee Hand Book" I had expected that it would be information about the studio and how it fell apart. Which I will not get into too much detail but was very surprised and satisfied.So what doesn't this book have?That's a rather tough statement to make as this book does contain stuff such as the "Wandering's a sin" sign for hackers in the early stages of the game to even how to get the secret of the game. Here is what this book doesn't have:It does not contain any of the audio recorded dialogues that were found in the Joey Drew YouTube channel from the lead up to chapter five and after the games full release to the reveal of Bendy and the Ink Machine Dark Revival.It does not contain information about Bendy' Ink Run or about the cartoons that were used to make that game.Modern day references of technological and modern day advancements such as the current value of a dollar.This book was "created" in the time set when the boom of employment at Joey Drew Studios had been raised back in the 1940's to the early 1950's. During and after World War II. So one dollar back in 1944 would be seen as $14.00 today as an example.So even knowing this, is this book something I should buy and recommend to my friends?Simple answer, yes. Even with the flaws of the book I have and have not mentioned. Its charms outweigh the flaws. It is a great gift to all Bendy fans bit and small. Congrats to The Meatly and Mike Mood and team for a successful book and a successful game that keeps us fans squealing with delight for theory information. As well as Schoolastic for green lighting this book to be published.

Game guide for finding all the secrets.
The Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook is a complete guide to help you play through all five chapters of the video game, Bendy and the Ink Machine.I really loved having this guide. I am not a gamer, but I became obsessed with this game after watching all of the Game Theory episodes devoted to it.So I downloaded it, and I did not know what I was doing.This book will tell you everything from how many cans of bacon soup are in each level to how many hits each enemy takes to die. It also gives you a full list of achievements and how to collect them.This isn't just your average game guide though, it's written as if it were a real world guide to the animation company.It's full of news clippings and company memo's that add insight into the fall of Joey's empire. As if someone were updating their old employee manual in order to help anyone foolish enough to stumble inside.So welcome to Joey Drew Studios; it's dangerous to go alone. Take this Guide with you. The creator may have lied, but this book won't.Now if my heart would just stop racing every time I hear Bendy's chase music.

Love this guide!
To start this off I just wanna say I'm a super hardcore Bendy fan I have 2000+ hours of in-game time. This book is completely amazing its great for many things like getting through the game (Duh), Finding Secrets and Completing achievements! I do recommend beating the game at least twice before buying this though mainly because it's no fun knowing where everything is and stuff like that or if you do buy it before only use it when your stuck and can't get past a certain bit! The book also answers some long going questions and theories that said it has Major spoilers (duh) also I'm duhing at myself XD)!!

Great book, but doesn’t have everything promised
Slight spoilers, heads up!I really liked it. I did. I got game tips that would’ve been incredibly helpful when I played the game the first time, and there’s even an official recipe for Briar Label Bacon Soup! But the reason I’m only giving four stars is this;The description says the books tells you how to use the Ink Machine (aka explains how it works), but it doesn’t. The whole reason I even BOUGHT the book was because I wanted to know how the machine works, and I didn’t get that despite the description promising that exact thing. If it wasn’t for this, I’d give it five stars.

The best!
When I was a kid, I had one of these but lost it when I moved so I'm glad to have it back!

Great read
This is a treat strategy guide as well as a tip book on learning the ins and outs within the company. Plus you learn more about the man Joey Drew....to see just how low he really is.I like how its even shares tidbits on special challenges that even I didn't know about. I loved it!

Fantastic book
I pre ordered this a month ago, and I was counting down the days. I have only one thing to say about this book: it is worth the wait! This book gives information about the video game, its hidden secrets, how to make your own "Bendy and The Ink Machine" cartoons, and how to draw the characters (i.e. Bendy, Boris, and Alice Angel). This is a fantastic book and I excitedly wait for more books to come.
