Bluebeard's Bride uses the popular folktale as its base: A young bride marries an older man despite some question of where his previous wives have gone. He leaves her alone in his sumptuous castle but warns her not to open one door. Eventually through boredom or curiosity, the young wife opens the forbidden door and discovers the corpses of the previous wives, whom she soon joins when Bluebeard returns.

Play as parts of the Bride's personality... Animus (hostility), Fatale (seduction), Mother (selflessness), Virgin (vulnerability), and Witch (deception).
