Dark Fantasy Adventure Game ‘Bye Sweet Carole’ Receives a Disney-esque Trailer [Video]
After showing off their upcoming dark adventure title Bye Sweet Carole a couple of times now, developer Little Sewing Machine has finally dropped a trailer for the game, which is expected for release next year. The trailer shows off the art style for Bye Sweet Carole that harkens back to the golden age of classical animation, while also displaying the game’s unique mood and atmosphere.
Created by Chris Darril, creator and director of Remothered series, Bye Sweet Carole focuses on Lana Benton. Urged by the terrifying Mr. Kyn, also known as “Old Hat,” Lana finds herself catapulted into a mysterious enchanted garden to deal with menacing and disturbing creatures. After discovering a number of letters from a certain “French,” Lana decides to follow the last known trail of Carole Simmons, a girl of the same age who apparently escaped from Bunny Hall, an orphanage in the nineteenth century. The building is now infested by colony of wild rabbits that are able to open a dimensional portal to the realm of Corolla.
Featuring a universe hand-drawn universe with the techniques from the greatest animation movies, Bye Sweet Carole will also see you using Lana’s ability to shapeshift into a rabbit and various forms to solve puzzles and overcome challenges.
Bye Sweet Carole is planned for release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.

To do so, players can sign up for the waitlist to participate at the State of Decay 3 Playtest website. The first wave of playtests will be limited, but the team plans on sharing insights and feedback with everyone as they go, with more opportunities to participate “throughout the year.”
