Alice Angel’s face was disfigured as a result of the in-universe production process of the characters in the “Bendy and the Ink Machine” game, where characters are created imperfectly and often with grotesque results.
In the game “Bendy and the Ink Machine,” Alice Angel is one of the animated characters brought to life by the Ink Machine. She was designed to be a beautiful singing cartoon angel, but the reality of her existence is far from perfect. The character of Alice Angel we encounter in the game is actually named “Susie Campbell” initially, one of the voice actresses for Alice who becomes twisted and corrupted by the ink.
The in-game lore suggests that the Ink Machine, created by Joey Drew Studios, was used to bring cartoon characters to life, but the process was flawed. As a result, many of the characters, including Alice, were created with deformities and imperfections. Alice’s face, in particular, is a symbol of the broken dreams and the dark side of the animation studio. Her face is disfigured, with part of it appearing melted or torn, reflecting the corrupted nature of her creation.
This disfigurement is a source of great distress for Alice, who is obsessed with regaining her former beauty and perfection. Throughout the game, she is seen as a tragic figure, driven mad by her desire to fix her appearance and willing to go to great lengths to achieve this, including harming other characters. Her disfigurement is not just physical but also symbolic of the twisted reality behind the seemingly charming world of the cartoons created at Joey Drew Studios.
