A young bride is wed to an ugly, but powerful man who invites her to explore the house - safe for one room. Eventually, the young bride falls prey to her curiosity and opens the forbidden door, discovering the gruesome display of former brides murdered...
In this gothic horror game the players will play different aspects of the Bride and explore Bluebeard's mansion to create our own beautifully tragic version of the old folktale. Since dark themes (e.g., misogyny, different forms of violence and abuse, religion, sexuality, body horror, and grief) are at the heart of the game, and one key mechanic "Shiver from Fear" literally relies on the reactions of the players, not the character; session will begin with a calibration of what the players are (not) comfortable with plus going over the safety mechanisms in play (lines and veils, X card).
