Bye Sweet Carole | PS5 Review | The award-winning Italian production arrives on PlayStation 5, retaining all its charm.
Bye Sweet Carole is a charming 2D adventure with a deeply beautiful story, creative puzzles, and stunning art style that make it an experience that you'll remember long after the credits roll.
None of the control, sound, animation issues, or bugs stopped me from falling in love with Bye Sweet Carole. Its powerful story, captivating puzzles, and beautiful art inspired by the works of Don Bluth were more than enough to make it one of my favorite games of 2025.
The adventure of the Italian studio Little Sewing Machine is a work with a strong and enterprising personality, which deserves your attention.
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.
Bye Sweet Carole has all the hallmarks of classic adventure games and the countless point and click games of the past. It handles horror in such a unique way due to its Disney-like presentation, and frankly, the whole experience feels like a truly interactive animated film.
Unfolding like a classic Disney tale, this is a beautifully animated adventure that weaves a deeply personal tale. Bye Sweet Carole is driven by its art style and a brilliant musical score, but occasionally stumbles due to stiff controls and frustrating mechanics.
Bye Sweet Carole delivers on the promise of a narrative-driven horror experience with the visual inspiration for classic Disney cartoons. Though it succeeds in this endeavor, it falls short of keeping you engaged with frustratingly unresponsive controls and easy stalker encounters.
Bye Sweet Carole is a promising adventure that needs some refinement. Platforming and general movement feel slow and clunky, making traversal a chore. Each area features a range of strong puzzles, though some bugs affect your ability to complete certain tasks. Narrative inconsistencies further diminish the enjoyment of what should have been a magical adventure. Despite its stunning presentation, with beautiful hand-drawn visuals, smooth animation, and a lovely orchestral score, it ultimately struggles to deliver an experience as magical as its visuals suggest.
Back in the ancient past of the late 20th century there was a real push towards games emulating animated films. While this was generally more a matter of marketing spiel than anything substantial, the true pioneer of this approach was the classic (albeit terrible) Dragon’s Lair, a game which used the beautiful animation of Don Bluth to stitch together gameplay that was more akin to a lengthy QTE than anything else. The timeless nature of this approach means that the original game still holds up visually to this day. Modern gaming has taken a turn towards hyper-realism with the increase in processing power, so Bye Sweet Carole stands out as much as Dragon’s Lair did, for different reasons.
Bye Sweet Carole is perhaps a step into the unknown for Little Sewing Machine. As the creator of the Remothered series, Chris Darril is experienced with

If you’ve watched the trailer for Bye Sweet Carole, you’ve seen the best parts of Bye Sweet Carole. The game takes a demo's worth of content and stretches it out over four painfully long hours.
In our Bye Sweet Carole review, learn why this gorgeously animated ode to Disney films of old is a massive gameplay trap.
I have rarely had such mixed feelings after finishing a game as with Bye Sweet Carole.
Have you always wanted to be a Disney princess? With Bye Sweet Carole, you can come pretty close, but is it worth it? You can read about it in the review.
Pitched as a love letter to classic animation, Bye Sweet Carole is an incredibly pretty game to look at. From the very first frames, it is evident that a lot of
"Bye Sweet Carole is an ambitious game that shoots for the moon and ends up among the stars. The Disney-style presentation is damn near flawless and evokes a sense of childish nostalgia that hardly any game has managed to do before. Not to mention, it's a pretty competent puzzler that feels cut from the same cloth as LucasArts classics in many ways. However, due to a slew of technical issues and some of the most cumbersome and unsatisfying platforming, stealth, and action sequences I can recall enduring, the game undoes a lot of its fine work to ultimately end up being a unique, but rather average experience."
Nevertheless, it’s a unique experiment: a hand-drawn fairytale that dares to scream. Whether you’ll find it enchanting or exhausting depends entirely on how much patience you have for repetition wrapped in beauty.
