This article contains a list of the Bendy series' all known inspirations, references, and homage related to the game series BioShock.
List
Characters and enemies
- Joey Drew - Reminiscent to the first BioShock antagonist Andrew Ryan.[1]
- Butcher Gang - Possibly inspired by the recurring BioShock enemies Splicers, as both are groups of disfigured and deformed individuals carrying random weapons.
- Fisher's hook weapon from Bendy and the Dark Revival is also possibly a reference to the Spider Splicers.
- Lost Ones - The Lost Ones' battle combat in Bendy and the Dark Revival is possibly based off the Thuggish Splicers.
- Audrey Drew - Her sweater is inspired by the iconic sweater worn by BioShock protagonist Jack.
Items and objects
- Audio logs - Heavily inspired by the audio diaries from the BioShock series.
Miscellaneous
- Horror visions - The three flashing images from the finale of Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 1 is possibly a reference to Jack's flashback scenes from the first BioShock.
- Administration appointments - Frank Fontaine, one of the main antagonists of the first BioShock, is mentioned in the administration lobby's appointment schedule from Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 5.
References
- ↑ "As we progressed through there were several elements that reminded us of Bioshock; a comparison that works in Bendy's favour. The most obvious comparison is that both of these games have horror elements based around earlier periods in the 20th-Century, and even the owner of the studio, Joey Drew, is reminiscent of Andrew Ryan in a lot of ways. Both had visions that consumed them, leading to their downfall and the ruin of everything they had built in the first place." - "Creaing a Monster: Bendy and the Ink Machine", Gamereactor
