Boris and the Dark Survival scares its way onto Android this week

Boris and the Dark Survival made its way to Android devices earlier today and brought with it a new lens to the Bendy series of games created by Joey Drew Studios. You play the role of Boris, Bendy's beloved wolf companion, as he traverses a creepy cartoon studio.

Your goal is to gather supplies and learn more about the mysteries of Joey Drew Studios. Beware though, as the Ink Demon will be hunting you down as you explore, so there's no time to chill out and take in the everything you see.

However, you will need to get some food to help refill your stamina to keep you moving at a fair pace. This will require you to, yes, stop and eat, which could leave you vulnerable if you aren't careful out there.

Similar to other games in the Bendy series, the game showcases its signature nostalgic aesthetics, in a classic cartoon universe. What's different however is the camera angle, with Boris and the Dark Survival featuring a top-down point of view, giving you a unique vantage point.

One thing that's interesting is that the studio is randomly generated, so no two experiences are alike, and it adds to the potential replay value. This means that you may discover new items and secrets in each run through Joey Drew Studios but of course, you still need to watch out for that hungry Ink Demon.

There's no word on if the game will be released for iOS but it is available right now for Android and three other platforms. According to a tweet though, there's a good chance that the game will release for iOS devices while they finish things up. 

Boris and the Dark Survival is available now through Google Play, and releases with $.99 stamped on its price tag, making it one of the most affordable games in the series.
