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.

Bye Sweet Carole is beautiful to look at, but a little tough to get through. The inconsistencies may not be enough to turn survival gamers off, but they may be too much to validate a full playthrough. If you love escape rooms, and not Dragon's Lair, hop to it.
Couch Soup: 7 / 10 by Iain McParland
Bye Sweet Carole is filled to the brim with personality and style. The art and animation are something I’ve never experienced in a video game before, and it’s beautifully done. The point-and-click puzzles are straightforward, yet satisfying to solve, and the story is intriguing. That doesn’t excuse the game’s misgivings, with a story that sometimes doesn’t fit in with its own themes and some stealth mechanics that almost had me throwing a controller at a wall in disgust. But, I have to say, Bye Sweet Carole is a video game experience worth having. I’ve never played anything like it, and I doubt that I will again anytime soon. Just be prepared for a little internal rage every now and again.
