To me, there is something unsettling about the alpha version of the ink demon. It's less about the appearance, more about the size. Only the top half of the demon is shown, but it still is as large as a human being, meaning that the alpha ink demon with legs would be twice the size of a regular human, if not more. Just imagine how scary it would be if suddenly a 12 feet demon would appear in front of you, squeezing itself through the halls, looking like a wall of ink chasing you. That would be terrifying. I also like the fact that it sorta looks like the actual bendy cartoon figure and also looks more like an ink blob, than a human figure with skeleton and stuff, combined with it's size, it fits the idea of a failed attempt to create a live mascot by the machine much better. I'd be very curious how the game would have turned out if they have stuck with the idea of design, improving it, instead of changing it completely.

I believe the alpha version of BATIM chapter 1 is scarier than the final product, the reasons being mainly the place feeling old and abandoned with simplistic and mysterious design, locked doors and the lack of information about what’s going on. It does make the game scarier when you don’t know what you’re doing neither what’s gonna happen next, which the alpha version makes you feel more.

Imagine how weird and awkward the story would be if it had the original Bendy Chapter 1, 2, and 3..

They should’ve kept it when Henry says “I’m getting the hell out of here!” to add a better sense of fear in Henry as well as giving him more emotion

NGL it does look slightly unsettling seeing the alpha version slowly emerge from the dark of the room, it's mainly when you see the full model that it's not so intimidating.

7:03 when I start up batim on my computer:

The Alpha version feels like decades ago!

DAMN this brings back old memories.

I have to say this chapter is the best version of the game. Fear, mystery, and intrigue made it so good

If you want a canon reason for bendy's old versions being weird, maybe it could be the cycle repeating and changing things.

boi ppl always ilustrate him as a smol boi but he's a big boi

Something about this old version has a certain charm that isn’t there in the final version. The final version still has charm, but a different feeling one. This one was scary, although not as unique. The final game feels more original and inspired, but not nearly as scary.

This is the first batim video I have seen in 2021.

“Im gettin the hell outta here” -Henry’s unused line

The nostalgia, man its been a lot of years since batim was made, i would like to play this game but i can't, i wish i could, thank you batim and your team for making batim, it changed my life forever, thank you for the memories

The alpha bendy looks bigger than any other version of bendy or is it just me

Bro I remember when the alpha came out YEARS ago and I was scared shitless when I first played it. Yet I'm still loving the game still.

When you were at the end I was thinking "use the bootleg lens of truth!" Forgetting it wasn't even in the game yet lol.

They should’ve kept the feature where a trail of ink slides into the pentagram room
