10 Best Nintendo Switch Horror Games

There is a reason why this game received such positive attention upon its release, and it's because the game is such a unique experience. While the gameplay itself is decent, it's nothing to write home about. Instead, it's the setting and art style that make it a must-play title.

Bendy and the Ink Machine takes place across five chapters, all of which were released episodically until the complete collection was created in 2018. It tells the story of Henry Stein, a retired illustrator who receives an invitation from his old boss to come back to the animation studio where he used to work.

After accepting this offer and returning to his old workplace, he's haunted by an assortment of nightmarish cartoon creations, who seem to have been brought to life by the titular Ink Machine.

The enemies in this game are incredibly creative, and the gameplay itself will keep you engaged with challenging puzzles and combat, but the rich atmosphere is the main selling point.

The game is a gothic love letter to the early days of studio animation, with many allusions to classics like Disney and the Fleischer Brothers, giving it a vintage aesthetic that's incredibly nostalgic and turns a style that should be charming into a nightmare.
