We've seen visuals inspired by classic animated movies plenty of times, but rarely have the worlds of Disney-inspired and horror gone hand in hand. But Little Sewing Machine's new game, led by Remothered creator Chris Darril, brings the two worlds together to beautiful, unsettling effect.
Bye Sweet Carole is a horror adventure game inspired by "the greatest animation movies" where a young woman jumps into a world that's been infested by rabbits. Blending surreal and creepy vibes with a gorgeous world, Bye Sweet Carole looks to unsettle players with this potent and unusual blend.
The game's first trailer was unveiled during today's Guerilla Collective, and it gives us a lovely little look at both sides of the coin. The whimsy and magical atmosphere of the world, the cute little birds, and the gentle music soon give way to some rather chilling visuals and creatures.
Publisher Just For Games has shared more details about this upcoming curio, including the basic premise and a handful of features — including the ability to turn into a rabbit. Come on, you're tempted. We've got all the additional details below, including some stunning screenshots of the game:

If you're enchanted by what you've seen, well, us too! But we'll have to wait for a little while before we can get our hands on this one. Bye Sweet Carole is due to release sometime in 2024 on Switch and all other platforms, so we'll tend to the rose garden for a while to keep up preoccupied.

They need a new story description, it sounds interesting but I started to get lost after "letters from a certain French"
This is, quite frankly, very exciting.
Some games have come out with cute visuals punctuated by dark or horror themes, but the horror element usually gets blunted in the end.
This coming from the same creators as the Remothered series gives me a lot of hope they wont skimp on the creepy elements.
No Sweet Caroline jokes? Oh, I bet you are holding it for the review. 😉
Looks marvellous! Waiting for any gameplay trailer
Horror Disney vibes. There's a word for that: Over the Garden Wall.
Amazing. Few other words do it justice.
Been better if we seen actual gameplay.
What's even the point if there's no gameplay footage? What is this, a game or a movie? It might be an amazing game, but that trailer is waste of time.
The art direction is stunning, but I need to see some gameplay to take it seriously.
I'm not the biggest fan of horror, but I'm willing to give this a chance because it just looks so beautiful and intriguing, looking forward to seeing gameplay of it!
