38:18 I'm gonna to just say, I think there's still life in this team and their series. I believe they have the capability to improve and grow their skills, that much was shown with the jump in quality from Ink Machine to Dark Revival. It's because of that, I believe they are set to continue growing. Bendy is a respected and liked series by many, and the devs plan on taking it to new heights and it's bound to reach those. There's a reason they announced a movie and like 4 new games, because they saw some demand for it, because people saw in them their new found potential with DR.
They have to REALLY step up their game. If they continue to use a combat system and crafting, both of those need to be expanded upon because as they stand, they just exist without any depth, or really need to justify their existence. If they wanted, they could do a defenseless survival horror, but I think they’re too fixated on the plot point of the main character “saving the day”. The set piece (Bendy) was mishandled in DR and honestly felt better in IM since he stalked the halls and just wasn’t a screen filter telling you to hide. They’ll have to reimagine how they want him to be a threat because as his design stands in DR, it’s laughable at best. The studio is riding a fine line when it comes to their games. Sure the brand is probably doing fine toy sales wise with a movie on the way, but these games are so boring. I never want to see a studio go under, especially an indie or AA, but there are too many games out there that serve as examples on how to do certain mechanics and gameplay loops for them not to use in their games.
The dialogue is pretty bad too. “Now I’m going to reveal why you were made.” Like just show us, not tell us
They were too busy spending the entire budget on visual upgrades instead of making a fun game with a good story.
What the hell, it's an incredible game.

Good Video. What do you think is a good example of mascot horror then?
God that's a tough question, I'll answer that in the next video.
do you think this game would be better without combat?
Maybe? I prefer combat-less horror titles but they do get old eventually. I just wish they expanded upon their systems a bit more.
