   Summary

   Henry Stein has been trapped in the studio for a long time, endlessly repeating the cycle mindlessly wishing for a way out- a break in the mundane that could possibly change things. When that break finally comes to him however in the form of a familiar face yet unfamiliar friend, things begin to break loose upsetting the balance. As the story diverges from its path while Henry learns new secrets about exactly how the studio has been running beneath him, the world he came to know begins to show a whole new level of horror and mystery. Who and what is the Ink Demon? How did it all come to be in the first place? What's really been going on this whole time that he hadn't known before? Making new friends while coming to re-face old enemies, Henry must learn the answers to find a way out before it's too late and the reel breaks and falls off past the point of return.
