Introduction
Welcome to this (very "basic") guide on the newest Bendy game, Bendy: Lone Wolf! As a remake for the game, Boris and The Dark Survival, the game includes most of the original elements, being a collectathon similar to Chapter 1 Of Bendy And The Ink Machine, but with a more deadly threat. The game has also added some new elements, so you can skip to the "New Gameplay" section if you are already familiar with the game's basics.

Also, don't mind the bold letters at the start of each section, it's to help people keep track of the words.
Gameplay Basics
Lone Wolf begins with you in Boris' Safehouse from Chapter 3 of BATIM. This is your Central Hub of the game. When you're ready to begin the game proper, enter the lift and choose which floor you want to go to. You'll begin with only the Studio, but as you find more Elevator Buttons, You'll unlock new floors. Every time you go down, you add one day to your "Day" counter. This shows how many times you have descended. If you die, the Day is nullified and never happened.

When you enter the studio, the game creates a random layout of the level you are on, influenced by which level you went to. Your goal? Find 6 items scattered around the area, all whilst bewaring the Ink Demon and any other enemies in your way. As you walk around, you'll find random containers, all opened by a Quick Time Event (hereby referred to as QTE.) Each container has a unique QTE, such as lockers having a rotating arrow where you must press the Interact button on the Orange part of the lock. In these containers are tools and items that can help you progress the story and provide some buffs, even!

Now, let's talk about the demon in the room. Him.
The Ink Demon doesn't automatically spawn in. On your first day, he spawns after you collect Three Supplies. On Day Two, he spawns after you take one supply. After Day Two, he will spawn in as soon as the level starts.

When the Ink Demon is nearby, Boris' heart will begin to be heard, your screen will shake with each step. A ring of Ink surrounds the Demon, so you can always where he is through the walls.

If He spots you, it's time to run! Your stamina is on the right of your screen, starting topped up every day. As you run and fight, your stamina will be consumed. To replenish it, each Bacon Soup Cans from killed enemies and Stamina Stations. Your goal in chase? Find a Little Miracle Station! To find one, look for a box with a halo on the top of it. One spawns in the same location of the Lift, so if you haven't seen any, you can always run back to the lift and hide. When you hide, the Ink Demon will approach the Little Miracle Station, stare at it, then leave.

After getting the last supply, the Ink Demon will automatically know where you are and chase you, never dropping chase. Run back to the lift and complete the day! As such, I recommend you leave the final item nearby the lift, so the run is less scary and precarious.

Wait, did i say "fight" and "killed enemies"? Well, let's talk about that.
New Gameplay
Added in Lone Wolf is the ability to fight enemies, such as the Searchers and Lost Ones! You begin with the Frying Pan (ey, maybe that's why it was unused in the original game?) as your weapon. You can swing your weapon to attack, and use it to block to negate any damage you take. Swinging your weapon or blocking damage will use up a little bit of stamina. You can break Gent Boxes to get Weapon Schematics to get more weapons. There are 5 in total, which you can choose to change in the Safehouse.

Boris can now take damage. Boris can take three hits, filling up a crossbones and Boris Skull meter above the Stamina Meter. When this meter is filled, the next hit you take will kill Boris, failing the level and playing a death cutscene. To heal up, use the new Coffee stations around the level. These are a one-use machine, so use them sparingly! No matter what your health is, The Ink Demon will kill you if he touches you.

Now, when walking around, there is a chance you may see something... weird. A skull on the floor? An Ink dispenser? A weirdly placed floor grate? Lord Amok from The Dark Revival has trapped the studio, meaning you have to be careful! When you step on a trap tile, a ticking will begin. after three ticks, the trap will activate, dealing one bit of damage if you are in the range of the trap.

A new helpful item is the Gent Stick. Use these to show where you've been, or you can use it in special ways! For example, I used them to easily show where my final supply would be, along with the easiest way back to the lift. You can also use them in other special ways that not even I thought of! You can carry up to 25 at a time, not including those on the floor. If you pick up any others, they are deleted from existence.

Do you remember the favourite bone from Chapter Three and the Original? Well, now it's a special buff! When it is equipped, Boris' speed is faster. There is also the Golden Soup Can, giving more stamina. Find them in lockers and other containers! After closing the game, find them on the table in the safehouse for the bone and a crate nearby the weapon changer.

Slugs from The Dark Revival have been added in the Locker and new Footlocker container, along with spawning wherever a supply can spawn as well. These can be spent in a new area in the safehouse, along with a new feature. The Wheel of Fate! This Wheel has 5 outcomes. It can:
-Increase Damage done to Enemies
-Increase speed of Boris
-Increase Stamina
-Nothing (This takes up two of the wheel's possible options)
-Boris takes 3 bits of damage, leaving him on the death state.
The wheel is free the first time you use it. Afterwards, the wheel costs 5 Slugs.

Randomly, when entering a floor, you may enter the Bendyland Warehouse from Chapter 4 of BATIM. This is the best place to get Slugs, getting at least 8 each time! Only drawback? It's a boss fight. It's simple, though. You got this in the bag! See that meter at the top? That's the Boss' health. Normally it's orange, but I'm too lazy to go back into the game and fight it again. But make sure you don't get hit much in this boss, because there's no coffee!

Some minor stuff, you can turn off your headlight, but honestly? Don't even bother, really. You can also rotate the camera to see around corners or in other rooms easier!

Tips for first few hours
Bendy: Lone Wolf is really fun, but for the first few hours/In Game Days, you may feel a bit scared. The audio is very important, but you can play without it. But just remember to take breaks, maybe watch a hour long clip compilation.

I'd suggest using a controller for the game, it feels WAYYY better than keyboard and mouse.
When playing, you'll get padlock keys. Don't use them yet until after freeing her.
On that note, Boss Fight's end after collecting all the supplies. Just collect them all as soon as you see them.
There are SOME parts of the game, mainly in the Abyss that may cause sensitivity for your eyes, relating to flashing projectors. If that isn't for you, try and get someone else to play for you for a bit.
The game very much relates to Bendy and The Dark Revival. Before playing this game, Play the current Bendy Duology of The Ink Machine and The Dark Revival, or the game will be spoiled for you.
Conclusion And Praise
Now, with this very (not so basic) basic guide, you should be ready to fare in the studio. I'm sure you will be able to survive in this place. I know that you're gonna be the best player I have ever seen. Now, It's time to begin your game, Little Wolf.
