Finding yourself in a quaint flower garden, talking to cute little birds, and chasing a rascal rabbit that has stolen an important letter you were reading, you run across fields of flowers and bask in the glory of Bunny Hall, an old, seemingly well-kept estate.<\/p>\n<p>I was enjoying every second of this brief introduction, feeling as if I were playing through one of my favourite childhood memories. But this is a horror game after all, so that feeling of contentment was rather short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>Soon enough, I found myself wading through waist-high swamp water running from a gooey tar man who wanted to rip me limb from limb. And it didn&#8217;t get much better from there. Stuck in an orphanage where she&#8217;s bullied by the other girls and harassed by the staff, the protagonist Lana often finds herself in locations that are dark, dusty, and decaying.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Zyk3fgCLgMcG4rXyZabKXd\" name=\"Bye Sweet Carole screenshots\" alt=\"Looking into a swamp\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/im-not-sure-whats-scarier-in-bye-sweet-carole-the-demonic-owl-or-the-fact-that-it-rips-apart-an-integral-part-of-my-childhood-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Maximum Entertainment )<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rcx69W2YCYv7zjv2kSPKXd\" name=\"Bye Sweet Carole screenshots\" alt=\"An evil tar-man\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/im-not-sure-whats-scarier-in-bye-sweet-carole-the-demonic-owl-or-the-fact-that-it-rips-apart-an-integral-part-of-my-childhood-4.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Maximum Entertainment )<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 3 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"B2PifuNBt6eQiM52EbBnUd\" name=\"Bye Sweet Carole screenshots\" alt=\"Flying in the sky\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/im-not-sure-whats-scarier-in-bye-sweet-carole-the-demonic-owl-or-the-fact-that-it-rips-apart-an-integral-part-of-my-childhood-5.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Maximum Entertainment )<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 4 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"kdrQqZguW3pkuxkRPnuhUd\" name=\"Bye Sweet Carole screenshots\" alt=\"Hiding from a boy\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/im-not-sure-whats-scarier-in-bye-sweet-carole-the-demonic-owl-or-the-fact-that-it-rips-apart-an-integral-part-of-my-childhood-6.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Maximum Entertainment )<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>With no one to rely on, you have to get creative to solve the situations you find yourself in. Whether that&#8217;s moving boxes so you can climb to reach helpful items, triggering timed traps to reach new areas, or combining the few items in your inventory like cheese and a mousetrap to lure out a poor unsuspecting rodent to use as bait for a particularly aggressive owl that manages to always make your life harder whether that be by blocking your path or just looking spooky with its blood-red eyes.<\/p>\n<p>But you have to keep going forward, no matter how unnerving the settings get, and it&#8217;s not just because you&#8217;re usually getting chased by some freakish humanoid rabbit or tar-man, what spurs Lana on is the search for her only friend, Carole. People say that she&#8217;s run off or left of her own free will but a mysterious and ever-elusive letter from Carole suggests otherwise. So Lana is hot on her trail.<\/p>\n<p>While Bye Sweet Carole isn&#8217;t the scariest game I&#8217;ve played in the run-up to Halloween, it&#8217;s a fun experience and one I&#8217;d recommend, especially for those who prefer a richer narrative experience and more eerie horror rather than relentless jumpscares. The platforming can be a bit finicky at times, but that in no way stopped me from having a great time solving little puzzles and exploring Bunny Hall, even if it has made me look at this old 2D animation style in a different light.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"39c026be-e5a4-428b-a121-7f15333a3540\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/im-not-sure-whats-scarier-in-bye-sweet-carole-the-demonic-owl-or-the-fact-that-it-rips-apart-an-integral-part-of-my-childhood-7.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"39c026be-e5a4-428b-a121-7f15333a3540\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/horror\/im-not-sure-whats-scarier-in-bye-sweet-carole-the-demonic-owl-or-the-fact-that-it-rips-apart-an-integral-part-of-my-childhood\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I grew up watching films from the aptly named Disney Renaissance\u2014I&#8217;m talking The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Mulan\u2014and then got to enjoy some bangers like Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, and Atlantis as I got older, so this style of 2D animation is a pretty formative part of my childhood.
