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.
Xbox Tavern: 7 / 10 by Corey Lyle
Here we are again, an absolute gorgeous game taken down a point or two by gameplay. If not for the bugs I encountered and the slowness that the game just seemed to me, this game could have been great. That said, I can realize when a game isn't meant for me and ultimately, I don't think this is a game I'd go in for myself after really thinking about it. But with visuals and audio like this, at least the ride was nice to look at it. I'd welcome a sequel even if we can just do without the sneaky, hide and seek bits.

Bye Sweet Carole is fine, but it doesn’t live up to the hype. Overall, it’s just aggressively fine; it’s not super fun to play, but it is really gorgeous. I hope the developers keep working on this game.
Capsule Computers: 6 / 10 by Travis Bruno
Bye Sweet Carole offers gorgeous animation and a touching premise alongside some solid puzzles, but its padded pacing, cheap stealth, and lackluster combat drag this storybook tale down.
