The story
Fiction and adapted settings written by Akitsora Gaming for this title, including invented dialogue and events. This is not a historical or folklore reference. The rules and specification tables define the gameplay and math.
A bunraku puppet takes three people to bring to life: one for the head and right hand, one for the left hand, and one kneeling for the feet.
I. Waiting in the wings
Before the curtain opens the puppet rests on the lead puppeteer's hands, the gold plum blossoms on its robe catching the lamp; the left-hand and foot puppeteers wait in black hoods for the same breath.
Only when the three breathe together does the puppet lift its head as if it were alive.
II. Three-person puppetry
The puppet spreads its sleeve, tilts its head, steps forward — every movement is three people moving at once. The number on a falling golden bell is the weight of the spin (base game ×2 to ×20).
III. The curtain opens
Gather 4 programme tags and the deep purple curtain parts to reveal the formal stage. Over the next 15 spins the multiplier keeps growing (×2 to ×500).
3 more programme tags add 5 more spins.
IV. The curtain call
The last pose holds, and the lead puppeteer bows to the audience with the puppet — its sleeve still swaying softly under the lights.
