Official Bye Sweet Carole Plushies Arrive, Produced by YouTooz

The magical and dark universe of Bye Sweet Carole, the acclaimed interactive horror-fantasy that has enchanted global audiences, comes to life in a whole new form. Little Sewing Machine and the renowned pop-culture merchandise brand Youtooz today reveal, with an animated trailer, the first exclusive official plushies dedicated to the interactive fairy tale of Italian production.

Available starting September 24th at 9:00 PM (CEST), fans worldwide will be able to pre-order the limited edition plushie versions of Lana Benton and her faithful sidekick Mr. Baesie on the official website youtooz.com.

Splendid, Detailed, and Frighteningly Soft

The two iconic protagonists of the record-breaking dark fairy tale created by Chris Darril temporarily leave the cartoon atmospheres of the mysterious kingdom of Corolla to transform into unmissable collector's items. Each plushie has been designed side-by-side with the Little Sewing Machine creative team to ensure maximum fidelity to the original character design, capturing the nostalgic and refined style inspired by traditional frame-by-frame animation that helped make the work famous.

• Lana Benton: The brave princess of the forgotten kingdom of Corolla, reproduced in minute detail and enriched by her unmistakable features, such as the magical bow that adorns her hair.
• Mr. Baesie: Lana's indispensable and beloved sidekick, the friendly lanky shapeshifter, complete with his amusing bowler hat, ready to protect your collection from the dangers of the terrible Mr. Kyn.

A Record-Breaking Success for Italy

Developed by the Italian studio Little Sewing Machine, Bye Sweet Carole is a hand-drawn narrative adventure with thriller-horror elements, created by the award-winning author Chris Darril (also creator of the Remothered series).

Since its release, the game has broken historical barriers for the Italian video game industry, achieving unprecedented milestones including:

• Annie Awards Nomination: The first Italian production ever to receive a nomination for the "Oscars of animation" for a video game.
• Webby Awards Achievement: First Italian video game to receive a nomination and subsequent win at the Webby Awards – Best Independent Production.
• NAVGTR Awards Record: The most nominated Italian title in the organization's history with a record six nominations, later triumphing in the best soundtrack category.
• Telly Awards Record: The first Italian title nominated in the organization's history with six wins, including screenplay and social impact.
• Audience Success: The title quickly surpassed all sales expectations, exceeding 100,000 copies in just the first two months after launch, confirming itself as one of the most iconic and popular "Made in Italy" intellectual properties in the territory.
• Transmedia Collaborations: In addition to the plushies in collaboration with Youtooz, an editorial partnership with Tora Edizioni aimed at developing dedicated artbooks and graphic novels and, with Lost In Cult, a beautiful vinyl edition of the game's soundtrack.

The plushies will be available for purchase directly on Youtooz for 4 weeks, and while supplies last.
