I\u2019m Chris Darril, creator of Bye Sweet Carole and founder of Little Sewing Machine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Bye Sweet Carole is a special project, one that reimagines the animation that inspired me in childhood, interwoven with homages to video games that today\u2019s players can relate to. Before the game launches on PlayStation, it\u2019s my pleasure to introduce the \ufb01rst and exclusive look at The French, a mysterious character found sneaking into Bunny Hall by Lana. They seem to have an interest in heat and \ufb02ames \u2014 could this be a clue to Carole\u2019s disappearance?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-407726\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/stream.mux.com\/viQUsxj4muc800ahaE3Zi17CUIxFcORgmAkAUxrFu00rM\/capped-1080p.mp4?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ2aVFVc3hqNG11YzgwMGFoYUUzWmkxN0NVSXhGY09SZ21Ba0FVeHJGdTAwck0iLCJhdWQiOiJ2IiwiZXhwIjoxNzUyNjc0MTQxLCJraWQiOiI0TDV5T2NqclYxTlVxVnpjVXZKQm4xd1RtNGVUR0c5TWgwMjAxWWs1anU5TkEifQ.W_MXXoX6TmAt-egG45phuvXYPttdor7diKOVLCoPF3SDcOAPL4e8Z057kU65VAyjHTebODfS2St-VO7v7ufjCst5bAQkMkFuHLi_4ycq5JNYVr_ItuCb8GjYIoQIsVnw3--fYsqcUvopCHOqfNU6Cg6AWbq1JHoxfNeFDgfq3F8wMPkfR33ATfBrkBBvU3UVaexSkiTu40sVQESoSCxILwY1wuKJQr_OTKqrvTOOe0EfhJc4JJXH3TkTyVKE5Q6cPe-gnN6wu9X76b2eodu9QzjKLjG2u5TWaSONn6v80HT_fX32ZygTSj0ynAkw9t1XkdON8KcW8NkgUEJxmD2Fbw\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing The French<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">As mysterious as they look, this is clearly someone who has shared proximity with Carole.

Carole started off as a mistake: one day, while playing with my un\ufb01nished Remothered prototype in RPG Maker, I created a dreamy, cell-shaded protagonist. Instantly, the image reminded me of those early popular animated \ufb01lms featuring pastel-coloured princesses against dark backdrops.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Connecting this visual concept to video games was the \ufb01rst hurdle: titles like Resident Evil on the \ufb01rst PlayStation, Clock Tower, and Gris were all foundational sources of gameplay inspiration. Their slow, measured approach to storytelling and unique atmospheres informed our initial development, re\ufb01ned with modern messaging designed to evoke the same child-like awe in a now fully-grown video game player today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ps-image-modal__wrapper \">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024,1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-407735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=1 1024w, https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=0.5 512w, https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=0.38 389w, https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=0.31 317w, https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=0.25 256w, https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=0.21 215w, https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=0.16 164w, https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png?fit=1024%2C576&amp;zoom=0.13 133w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1170px) 936px, (min-width: 960px) 80vw, 100vw\"><\/figure>\n<p>\t<button class=\"ps-image-modal__trigger\" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tView and download image\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ps-image-modal ps-image-modal--hidden\" role=\"dialog\" hidden tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"ps-image-modal-heading-1\">\n<div role=\"document\">\n<h2 class=\"screen-reader-text\" id=\"ps-image-modal-heading-1\">\n\t\t\tDownload the image\t\t<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t<button class=\"ps-image-modal__close\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon--close icon--white\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\">\n\t\t<title>close<\/title><g class=\"icon-primary-color\" fill=\"#DEDEDE\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M1.496 17L0 15.447l6.951-6.946L0 1.552 1.496 0 10 8.501z\"><\/path><path d=\"M15.504 0L17 1.553l-6.951 6.946L17 15.448 15.504 17 7 8.499z\"><\/path><\/g>\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Close<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<figure class=\"ps-image-modal__content\">\n<p>\t\t\t<img class=\"ps-image-modal__image ps-image-modal__image--hidden\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/tachyon\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ps-image-modal__footer\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/6a01affcc65aef65487ead00e58fefd7fca02b89.png\" class=\"ps-image-modal__download\" download=\"\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon--download icon--white\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\">\n\t\t<path d=\"M8.43 1.3c0-.72.58-1.3 1.3-1.3.72 0 1.3.58 1.3 1.3 0 .72-.58 1.3-1.3 1.3-.72 0-1.3-.59-1.3-1.3zm0 5.19c0-.72.58-1.3 1.3-1.3.72 0 1.3.58 1.3 1.3 0 .72-.58 1.3-1.3 1.3-.72 0-1.3-.58-1.3-1.3zm3.74 5.55c-.78 1.35-1.78 3.08-2.55 4.42-.78-1.35-1.78-3.08-2.55-4.42h5.1zm1.53-1.76H4L9.61 20l5.61-9.72H13.7z\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\"><\/path>\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload this image\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving pictures to interactive pictures<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">As game designers, we are already directors, and the \u201ccinematography\u201d of video games is equally important. The presentation of a world makes an impact on the audience, and in both cinema and games, technology brings the storytelling to life. You\u2019ll always meet technological limitations, so remaining \ufb02uid is absolutely critical in the development stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">You start with the concept, then jump to the storyboard, then the rough animation, clean-up, and then the colors. Exporting animation happens differently if it\u2019s a cutscene, a video, or eventually a game scene, so you have to \ufb01nd people just to export each animation. As with \ufb01lmmaking, collaboration is key.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The art &amp; artists behind Bye Sweet Carole<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">The animation of Bye Sweet Carole was hand-drawn, frame by frame. Sacri\ufb01cing even just one frame means the magic of the old-fashioned animation style is lost. Computers made the production much smoother, but we made certain that the tangible expression of the animation style is always felt when playing the game. PlayStation players will be able to see the true labour of love in full 4K display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We\u2019ve also ensured that the visual and audio components work in harmony. The soundtrack was composed by Luca Balboni, a frequent collaborator. The large cast of characters will be fully voiced by Rossa Caputo in the Italian dub, Lani Minella (voice of the iconic Infected of The Last of Us), and Elsie Lovelock as our protagonist Lana.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-407727\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/stream.mux.com\/TU00Lep48sSswNO68daTVlfHydGVub01Ua8i7ehWtCbNU\/capped-1080p.mp4?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJUVTAwTGVwNDhzU3N3Tk82OGRhVFZsZkh5ZEdWdWIwMVVhOGk3ZWhXdENiTlUiLCJhdWQiOiJ2IiwiZXhwIjoxNzUyNjc0MTQxLCJraWQiOiI0TDV5T2NqclYxTlVxVnpjVXZKQm4xd1RtNGVUR0c5TWgwMjAxWWs1anU5TkEifQ.gb57fh4URZtmbSCN224Ng4Fz6NsBNvyq56sKkdhgyZGVoq-oFVz96wHSngUxI5PXiaA_xi8OV6bYJDLsIkd8nf96DkJYa76aZyDKzf_TzwaCcDGAr0JHGBM6gtVDbZv02cpBS5nm-B1ZnLsZlSSWKp2E9q4znWUAjFZw0mOPxd2crleEOucQS-Q1fN-8zW4jLYaBpCkEZnK3dF1WVyBW3VBBmChvit41mBqsgjT_sjTI3YiUvIBWrXwyDz1fQHrhLj8FydweD-mJa4yxnzk-pBDmIlWeh4wgQm4bAIwiNF5xxFv1fVPoaZTWGDVXq-G0s_xkhDf1QkMzRewP3IbIEw\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Doing something that by today\u2019s standards is considered \u201cold school\u201d wasn\u2019t easy, and required a huge learning curve. On behalf of the entire team, we hope all players will enjoy meeting The French and experiencing Bye Sweet Carole later this year by purchasing the game from <a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/concept\/10008528\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/concept\/10008528\">PlayStation Store<\/a> or at their favourite retailer. We aspire for the game to be a modern fairytale, one that feels like a deep-seated memory: sad, yet peaceful, and long-lasting. It\u2019s the best, most ambitious game I\u2019ve ever worked on, and for those that missed it, our most recent trailer is a fantastic place to start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There is one more mystery I can shed light on today, and that is confirming that Bye Sweet Carole is available from major retailers on discs. Today, players who want to experience the nostalgia of physical pieces of media inspired by nostalgia can pre-order a copy now in many regions and storefronts. Of course, the PlayStation Store is always open for those that appreciate modern accessibility of digital copies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We still have several surprises to reveal about Bye Sweet Carole, so stay tuned\u2014we\u2019re incredibly excited to bring this love letter to life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2025\/07\/15\/the-story-behind-narrative-horror-bye-sweet-caroles-gorgeous-hand-drawn-animation\/\">Go to Source (PlayStation.com)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello PlayStation readers!
