So Many GamesSteven LandrayOct 20254.5/5 starsIn spite of some minor visual issues, Bye Sweet Carole manages to excel in all aspects of design, storytelling and characterisation. Gameplay is forgiving and well-paced without becoming irksome but largely plays second best to the game’s narrative prowess.

Pure NintendoKirstie SummersMar 20262/10Bye Sweet Carole excels at beautiful art that echoes the style of early animation, but its tension is undermined by poor pacing and clunky controls, and any goodwill towards the spooky atmosphere is ruined by the game-crashing bug that freezes the game midway through.

Slant MagazineSteven ScaifeOct 20252/5 starsClearly the game is taking aim at the Disney Princess archetype, but the shots fired are all so clunky and obvious: One girl accidentally drops her manifesto for women’s liberation in front of the teacher, and later she reads from a book that just lists the names of accomplished women throughout history. If horror is meant to elicit strong emotions, the most that Bye Sweet Carole can manage is cringe.
