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.
So Many Games: 4.5 / 5 by Steven Landray
In spite of some minor visual issues, Bye Sweet Carole manages to excel in all aspects of design, storytelling and characterisation. Gameplay is forgiving and well-paced without becoming irksome but largely plays second best to the game’s narrative prowess.
RageQuit.GR: 70 / 100 by Giorgos Dempegiotis
An enchanting fairy tale, which nevertheless "suffers" from its clumsy controls and controversial approach to the action part of the 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.
