Oh yeah, Miyazaki by Entropy Stew 09/06/2019, 1:58pm PDT
Wizard assassin with magic door fortress is basically Howl's Moving Castle.

And who says Boba Fett cannot in a stately pleasure dome decree that there exist a room carpeted wall-to-wall with murdered wives? George Lucas? Fuck that guy. Miyazaki had Howl get "saved" by some chick moving in and cleaning his house. That castle was a walking, talking bachelor pad, and Howl was out there in the world. Setting fire to it. Dude gave up his murderbird shapeshifting ways to have picnics in a field of posies with some random ensorcelled seamstress. She probably even made him sell his motorcycle. Way to Lucas things up, Miyazaki. You disenfetted your Boba.

What are you supposed to do with Bluebeard's story in the space of game design, anyways? The direct translation is some kind of Japanese waifu murder dating sim. And who would buy that besides Worm? Who would even publish it? Oh, sure, the waifus can murder the protagonist all through the live long day. That's rote for the genre. But Wormbeard's Dead Wife Storage? Not a chance.
