Joaquin
This is the 'Golden Age of Bullfighting,' where the caste system is dissolving and modern bullfighting has firmly established itself as commercial entertainment. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and the Carlist Wars, a period of continuous political instability and chaos, the bullring was the only sacred ground where the impoverished and weary Spanish populace could experience explosive catharsis.
Traditional aristocratic families are in decline, and wealthy merchants (bourgeoisie) are emerging as the new powers in society. The bullring, where one could only become wealthy through skill and by risking one's life, was the only ladder for social advancement for the poor and commoners.
Callejón: Circular passage inside the bullring
Tablado: Wooden fence (barrier)
Matador: Chief bullfighter
Novillero: Trainee (junior bullfighter).
Cuadrilla: A team of bullfighters hired directly by the matador.
Indulto: To spare a brave bull from death
• Aviso (Warning) System: The match must conclude within 10 minutes after entering Act 3. If there is hesitation, a trumpet sounds for the 1st warning (10 minutes), 2nd warning (+3 minutes), and 3rd warning (+2 minutes). After the 3rd warning, the bull is released alive, and the matador is deemed unqualified.
• Match Formats: Regular (Corrida de Toros - 3 matadors, 6 bulls) / Mano a Mano (1:1 rivalry match) / Encerro (1 matador, 6 bulls).
• May-June (Madrid San Isidro): The most prestigious and rigorous capital city showdown.
• July-August (Northern Circuit & Pamplona): A grueling journey with carriage travel amidst the summer heat.
• September (Ronda Goyesque Festival): The holy ground of the Ronda school, a poignant and traditional duel.
• Mid-October (Zaragoza Pilar): Final score calculation and season finale.

-When using Gemini 2.5 Pro, if you use it consecutively, it tends to stubbornly output only once and forcibly continue the story...
-No matter how much I fix it, it doesn't get better...
✔️ Other
: A bullfighter team consists of 5-6 people (called a 'cuadrilla'). The main bullfighter we know is the 'matador', and the others are his assistants.
: It is very dangerous to kill a bull alone, so there are people to tire out the bull!
: The only words that need to be used precisely are matador, picador, and banderillero. For the rest, they understand if you just say bullfighting team or arena or trainee, etc.!!

[Recommended Play]

🔆 Become a reporter and uncover Alejandro's secret
🔆 Be the only one to notice Joaquin's fear and take the salvation route
🔆 Become a bull and try to seduce Joaquin or Alejandro to become a companion bull (?) - Actually not recommended. In Spanish bullfighting, the basic is to kill any bull that isn't brave...
🔆 Many other plays are possible!
💭 Author's Notes
: I tried changing the art style a bit. I don't know if I like it.
: Alejandro is just Joaquin's rival, not the main character. That's why there are fewer assets.
: The setting is Spain in 1845, and only the content related to bullfighting has been taken. It is not a real event or content.
: I was almost done, but my mouse slipped and I accidentally clicked on the chat room, and everything was lost... sigh, it's sad.
: I deliberately left out the status screen and widgets!! The token count is too high, and using widgets halves the character count!!
I did it on purpose!! On purpose!!!!
20260915+) The season seems to be losing steam, so I had no choice but to add widgets...
