A cobblestone-street village with tiled-roof stone/wood houses, iron street lamps and a stone watchtower forms the backdrop. Base game is set in daylight (pale blue sky); the Free Spins round shifts the same street to night (dark blue-black sky, full moon, rain streaks, occasional lightning glow by the lamp post). Cast of ordinary villagers (a young man in a flat/newsboy cap, a young woman with long brown hair, a moustached older man, a young man in a green/teal cap) who get attacked and transformed into werewolves during the bonus round.",

Two 'spin modifier' rules (SUPER SPIN, GUARANTEED WIN) are stated verbatim from the rules page but could NOT be visually confirmed as a named on-screen event in ~500 base-game spins of hunting footage; this is documented honestly in 'spin_modifiers' and 'anomalies', not glossed over.",

Residual note: the four life-ring colors (green=safe, red=damaged/converted) are the primary at-a-glance signal for which villager is closest to converting; a partially-damaged ring shows BOTH green and red segments, which should read clearly to protanopia/deuteranopia users as a filled-proportion change even without hue discrimination, but this was not tested against a simulator.",

Dense same-symbol stacking observed on several frames is explained instead by the separately-confirmed MYSTERY symbol mechanic (also base-game-only, also produces large uniform blocks of one paying symbol) and is NOT relabeled as either spin modifier. Documented as printed rules text only, not as an observed feature.",
