Review: Answered Questions, Yet The Mystery Still Continues... - When I heard this book was coming out, I made sure to read another book by this author to understand what her writing style and storytelling was like (it was called "Outcast" which was a well done and interesting story, though focusing on the high school aspects more than the actual interesting concept of the story was a bit tiring to get through at times). So when I finally picked up this book I was excited by the prospect of looking into what the version of Joey Drew Studios was like in it's heyday before crap hit the fan. It starts off with Daniel Lewek or Buddy as his friends call him and as he retells his story of how he got hired and worked for Joey Drew. He has the dream of becoming an artist and when Mr. Drew notices him the day he drops off a suit to his office, he's hired on the spot. Buddy at first is excited about the prospect, but being hired as a gofer/artist in training seems to have many downs before it gets better. We are introduced to various characters from the game before they became what they are and the contrast is very interesting as well as shocking with some characters not being quite what we would expect (pointing out Norman as well as even Tom for that matter). We also learn about some new characters such as Buddy's family who we get to learn the history of during the story (the growing bond between Buddy and his grandfather is so wonderful) as well as the ever sharp Dot who helps Buddy along the way, getting him acquainted with work but also in the growing mystery of the studio. But wow, I was really amazed with how much you get to learn about Joey Drew himself, and dang he's more dastardly then you think! (one scene which I will not spoil made me boil in anger at the audacity and selfishness! Grrrr on your Mr. Drew!) The only critique I have on this book is that it seemed some typos did escape into the printing of it, but for the most part did not bother me while I was reading. Another thing which I think was the publishing's mistake was there was one page that had some of the words faded out (ironically it was the "stained" in the combination of "ink-stained" which somehow fit the concept of the story). Overall, an amazing read! A definite must for anyone whose a fan of the game who wants to learn more about the background of the studio as well as the other characters through the eyes of a teen anyone can connect to and even grow to deeply care about (even though the horrifying realizations made throughout and even at the end will leave you possibly going, dear god what happens now?) I think people who haven't played the game would also love this book. I think it's one of those reads that keeps you guessing what happens next and keeps you reading as fast as you can until the very last page. I'm even more excited to learn that this is only book one! Whaaat?! More to come?! Heck yeah!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good book
*by J***S on July 13, 2025*

Really enjoyable to read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More history about the fall of the studio!
*by C***T on September 3, 2019*

When I first saw a preview of the book I didn't know what to expect. Only this book goes into days before the studio fell and who were the first to go. This book gives a more detailed interaction between the characters and is a perfect companion novel for those who have bought the Employee Hand Book. It provides information about who worked at the studio besides the characters we were introduced. This book provides more depth of characters like Joey Drew and Sammy Lawrence as well as Thomas Connor and quite possibly Borris the wolf. I would recommend this book to audiences who enjoy Bendy and the Ink Machine and the unique plot line of background information. Previously stated inside of the studio handbook. Five stars deserved for giving us important information about the studio and the brilliant writing.
