Bye Sweet Carole

It has such a sweet story and beautiful art. It reminds me of some of the old movies I used to watch when I was a kid, Like the Dark Cauldron and The Secret of Nimh I would like to tell the creators. Thank you for their hard work.

Let me keep this short: this game is beautiful and absolutely captures the Disney vibe. The art style is gorgeous, the music is fantastic, and the story is surprisingly solid. Unfortunately, the gameplay is a huge downside. It's honestly some of the worst gameplay I've experienced. For most of the game, you'll just be searching for items and using them in specific locations. Occasionally, you'll have to hide from stalkers, but once you understand their mechanics, they become incredibly easy to deal with and stop being interesting. The only gameplay sections I genuinely enjoyed were the occasional puzzles with Baesie. Overall, I can't really recommend this game. The presentation, music, and story are great, but the gameplay drags the entire experience down. I'd only suggest picking it up if you don't mind spending a lot of time on repetitive item-hunting and don't care much about gameplay.

This is the first Steam review I've ever written. That's how much I loved this game. The art style lives up to the hype in every way. The storytelling is so clever. The voice acting is phenomenal and includes some true legends. I was actually sobbing at the end of this. This game is highly underrated and you need to play it. Sometimes the navigation and puzzles were confusing and I kind of wish the combat played a bigger role throughout but I actually don't care about that because this game is fantastic and I will be thinking about it for a while.

Es un hermoso juego. Al principio quedé confundida, pero después me di cuenta de que trata de sobrellevar el duelo, de cómo combatir la depresión, los malos pensamientos en tu cabeza y a cómo dejar que siga el transcurso del tiempo así aprendiendo a dejar ir a las personas; de personas que formaron parte de nuestra vida pasada tanto en el buen como en el mal sentido, así de las personas actuales valiosas con las que seguimos haciendo lindos recuerdos.

Bye Sweet Carole felt less like playing a game and more like watching an old Disney movie come to life. From the very beginning, I was completely enchanted by it. The beautiful hand-drawn animation, the music, the characters, and that slightly dark fairy-tale atmosphere made the whole experience feel genuinely magical. It somehow feels like Snow White and Alice in Wonderland were blended together — the charm and beauty of a classic princess story mixed with the strange, whimsical, slightly unsettling feeling of falling into another world. But what made it really special to me was the nostalgia it gave me. It reminded me of the first time I watched Sleeping Beauty as a child: that feeling of being completely mesmerized by the colors, the animation, the music, and the magic of it all. I genuinely didn’t expect a game to bring that feeling back. There’s something so beautiful about Bye Sweet Carole. It’s whimsical and dreamy, but also eerie and dark in a way that makes its world even more captivating. It feels like a forgotten fairy tale from childhood that you somehow found again years later. Beautiful, haunting, nostalgic, and absolutely magical. One of those games I’ll remember more for how it made me feel than simply for how it played. 🌹🪞🍎🐇✨

The art is so pretty!!! I love the style. The game is simple yet engaging, with an interesting storyline. The achievements also add some fun extra challenges :)

Don't get me wrong, this game is really beautiful but I feel that, for me, the ending fights felt very lackluster and not very enjoyable. I wish there was a bit more mechanics you had to do during it. The gameplay also felt a bit frustrating when I experienced some glitches, such as buttons not working and having to reload a checkpoint, or random scene glitches. Overall, I give this game a 5.5/10. I mean if you like old games or Disney, give this game a try when it's on sale.

I honestly don't even regret buying this game, i've played similar 2D games but this one is different, it almost feels like im just watching some old disney cartoon about a princess, the characters are amazing, the villain too, Mr. Kyn is such a cool villain, Baesie is also a pretty fun character, i like him so much and all the characters are unique at some point, the narrator describes everything so well it actually makes you feel more immersed into the story. i’ve seen quite a few people complaining about controls being weird, can’t complain about that because i played on a controller which game actually suggests to play on for better experience, overall you should definetly check this game out. EDIT: Now that i completed this game, i can confidently say i loved every second of this, in my opinion the game was perfect, the story, the characters, the beaautiful and i mean BEAUTIFUL hand-drawing style just like from old disney animated cartoons, i loved the story so much it even made me sob little at the end, heck im sobbing right now man, this game is so good. yea sometimes i was not that smart for these puzzles and i've been stuck on some of them for quite long, other than that i reccomend this game. It's that type of game that you'll buy and you think it'll be just another completed game in your library, but not in my case, i'll remeber this game and this beautiful story. 9.5/10 game in my opinion for sure

Bye Sweet Carol is a really solid game about letting go where the biggest selling point is that you are essentially playing an old Disney movie. From the wonderful and expressive animation to the the darker atmosphere, I was intrigued from the moment I heard the game was announced to the moment the credits rolled. The game never goes beyond that of a PG rating but that is not an issue. Gameplay is rather simplistic, it's not long so it doesn't get too repetitive. The story is a sad one that hits especially hard at the end, leaving me thinking about it still days later. Moving forward and making the most out of the time you have is emphasized throughout the game and I think it is done rather well. Overall I am glad to have played this and hope to see more from these devs.
