@inflorescence Holy shit I haven't thought about that castle game in probably over 20 years haha. Thanks for posting!

I remember playing a PC graphic adventure game, prob late 80s or early 90s, which was sortof a Leisure Suit Larry wannabee. It involved some nerdy protagonist whose name I think started with an L (leroy? Leonard?) and he basically tried to get lucky with (maybe space?) chicks. It was mostly PG13 type stuff. I've always wondered what the hell that game was called but my pubescent self was very into it lol.

What about Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender? It came to PC in 92, and can definitely be thought of as Leisure Suit Larry in space, even down to the cutesy subtitle.
Also worth noting that one of the Leisure Suit Larry games was actually set in space.

Lol. I vaguely remember that one but that's not it. I feel like maybe the little nerd was also a sorcerer? I know this sounds like a completely absurd pitch for a game but it was real.

Maybe Simon the Sorcerer? It was a '93 PC game that seemed to have less of a sleazy angle than LSL, but you absolutely tried to pick up every woman you saw. 1:17:00 for the interaction with Rapunzel:

There's this game I remember on I want to say the Super Nintendo. It may have been Japanese, and it may have been played on someone's computer using an emulator, but from what I remember, it played like a typical JRPG, but when the protagonist died, the person who killed you would become the new protagonist, and the story would shift to following them. I was pretty young, so I may be remembering wrong, and this may not even exist, but if anyone has any ideas, I would be happy to look into it for my collection.

@happygaming
I want to say Terranigma maybe?

No, it wasn't that. I actually played that a couple years ago thinking it might be though!

Romancing SaGa 2 has permadeath and a multigenerational storyline:
I hope we find this one, I am very very interested in seeing more of this game. Do you remember anything else about it? How it looked? The way the battle screen was set up? Was the person that killed you the antagonist?
