Sometimes, a game pops up that just feels made for me. Usually it's a nostalgia thing, like my diehard obsession with Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. Or maybe it just happens to speak to my exact blend of special interests the way vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker does. But every so often, something amazing happens: I get both of those things at once.
That's what Bye Sweet Carole is. The side-scrolling survival horror adventure looks, sounds, and feels fresh from the desk of an old-school Disney or Don Bluth studio, inspired by classic hand-drawn animated children's movies such as Snow White or Beauty and the Beast. But as game director Chris Darril points out, it also draws upon the "ambiguous magic" and "hidden eerie feeling" those films held.
