Release Date: October 9, 2025
A horror adventure game, visually inspired by iconic animated movies. Bye Sweet Carole stars Lana Benton, a young girl seeking a way out of a horrible orphanage overrun by nightmarish rabbits.
Bye Sweet Carole is an indie horror adventure game. It was co-created by Little Sewing Machine and Meangrip Studios, and directed by Chris Darril, known for the Remothered series.
The main protagonist of Bye Sweet Carole is Lana Benton. Under urging of the terrifying Mr. Kyn, also known as the Old Hat, she finds herself transported into a mysterious garden. After reading the letters written by a certain "French", she decides to follow the trail of Carole Simmons, a girl her age who has somehow managed to escape this place. Lana must explore the nineteenth-century Bunny Hall orphanage and find a way out. She finds the building overrun by hordes of wild rabbits, trying to open a portal to her world.
Bye Sweet Carole is a side-scroller. The player must explore the orphanage and the surrounding garden, solving puzzles and obtaining clues regarding the world and its inhabitants to progress the story. We must be constantly on guard, as the rabbits are hostile and dangerous. Our character can't fight, so she must hide from the enemies, sneak behind them or flee when detected.
Not all encountered characters are hostile, thankfully. One friendly NPC is Mr. Baesi, a sizeshifter. Lana herself soon gains shapeshifting abilities as well; in the form of a rabbit, she can interact with other rabbits and reach usually inaccessible places. We can switch between these forms freely, which comes in handy when solving environmental puzzles.
The most striking feature of Bye Sweet Carole are its atmospheric, hand-drawn graphics, inspired by iconic animated movies.

Game Ratings for Bye Sweet Carole Video Game.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Ken Talbot
Unfolding like a classic Disney tale, this is a beautifully animated adventure that weaves a deeply personal tale. Bye Sweet Carole is driven by its art style and a brilliant musical score, but occasionally stumbles due to stiff controls and frustrating mechanics.
Game8: 66 / 100 by Aaron Bacabac
Much like classic Disney, Bye Sweet Carole exudes a nostalgic charm that’s hard not to admire—its visuals, sound, and story all steeped in vintage flair and period commentary. Sadly, much like Disney today, it’s hard to love despite that beauty. With sluggish pacing, thin gameplay, and only half the heart of a point-and-click adventure, you’re better off rewatching an old Disney classic and experiencing the magic where it still lives.
Analog Stick Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Jeff M Young
Bye Sweet Carole has all the hallmarks of classic adventure games and the countless point and click games of the past. It handles horror in such a unique way due to its Disney-like presentation, and frankly, the whole experience feels like a truly interactive animated film. While the gameplay can be a bit uneven at times, Bye Sweet Carole is nonetheless a fascinating experience that looks incredible, sounds incredible, and has a truly memorable, yet tragic story, about an era where women were vastly under appreciated.
