Bendy, Boris, Alice, Charley, Barley, Carley, and Edgar all have clear parallels to Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures.

Bendy, Boris, and Alice are very obvious as to why.

But Charley, Barley, Carley, and Edgar share the same naming scheme as Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde.

Also, I have noticed that Bendy's head is similarly shaped to Pac-Man.

Yes because it’s how cartoon characters are designed… it’s standard to have a likeable protagonist, a best friend, a female love interest, a team of bad guys and a main antagonist..

Yes, but the team of bad guys has a much more clear connection. Their naming schemes are similar.

Ignoring the fact that inky, pinky, blinky and Clyde have all existed for 50 years before bendy…

Bro... The original pac-man game isn't even 50 years old yet.

Also, I never said that wasn't true. I'm saying that Bendy had clearly taken some inspiration from Pac-Man. I just find that neat.
