Given that it's intended to be an episodic game, there isn't a lot to write about the story, so to avoid telling you too much, I will only say that you have to face an evil entity which was apparently created from a cartoon.

Regarding the gameplay, in this first entry what you need to do is to find several hidden objects scattered throughout the level; I have to remark, in this sense, the excellent level design, because although these items are in very logical places, it still can be pretty challenging to spot them. Depending on how skillful you are, the game can take you between twenty and forty worthy minutes to solve it.
I have only two aspects to criticise; the first one luckily is easily solvable: I found a bit annoying the decision to make everything you see so blurry, so I preferred to deactivate the option; and the second one is regarding the voice acting: your character sounds strangely relaxed, considering the creepy situation in which he is involved. Also, since you might need to backtrack several times to find an object you overlooked, it would be nice to be able to run (the character is very slow).
In conclusion, I think the premise of this title has a lot of potential, and I hope the developers prove capable of offering a good story in upcoming episodes.

Looks very original but I have no clue what to do. Nothing seems to be clickable. Graphics are quite nice and surprisingly the game launch without issue (Mint kde 17.3)

Hmm, starts on the wrong monitor with no options, and then hangs on the first loading screen. Not an auspicious start.
Edited to add: Second try things worked properly, but got bored when I scoured the whole level and still can't find an item I need, and the bobbing as you walk was making me start to feel ill.

One item seems to be very well hidden but I got them all eventually. The jump scares are rather good and I look forward to chapter two.
As for the monitor issue, I had to edit the prefs file in .config/unity3d/TheMeatly Games/Bendy and the Ink Machine/ but after that it started fine. Unity really has fun with multiple monitors at different resolutions :-)
