Don’t let it’s pastel hues and whimsical animation fool you: Bye Sweet Carole is no child’s fairytale. Beneath a Disney-esque veneer lies a dark fantasy horror game. Inspired by classic animation giants, this upcoming indie title is from developer Chris Darril (Remothered). It promises a chilling journey into a world where childhood wonder collides with nightmares.
As Lana Benton, a newcomer to the eerie Bunny Hall orphanage, players enter a captivating tale of insidious shadows that lurk beneath seemingly idyllic facades. Whispers of her best friend Carole’s sudden disappearance ignite a spark of suspicion within Lana. And leads her down a rabbit hole of surreal mysteries. Her quest unfolds across two meticulously crafted landscapes: the familiar, gritty reality of the orphanage and the fantastical Kingdom of Corolla, where enchanting beauty masks a creeping darkness.
Bye Sweet Carole is not just a visual feast. Its 2D world pulsates with tension, demanding both exploration and stealth as Lana navigates treacherous landscapes and avoids sinister threats.
