The manifest cites a 'Powered by iNOUT' footer string on a frame named '_menu.png', but that file is not present in the slot's screenshot folder (only 'settings.png', which shows the hamburger-menu dropdown with just Music/Sound toggles, no footer text). 'iNOUT' is the provider (InOut Games) in any case, not a distinct sub-studio, so the studio field is left empty regardless.",
    "game_type": "Classic 3x3 fruit/joker video slot with a fixed-line paytable, plus a hold-and-collect ('Collect Feature' / 'Bonus Game') mechanic with four progressive-looking (but bet-scaled, not pooled) jackpot meters. Despite the provider's catalogue leaning heavily on crash-style instant games and the aggressive word 'Clash' in the title, this is a standard reel slot, not a crash/instant game.",
    "theme": "A single sinister, grinning joker/jester character (the 'Collect Joker') dominates the game as mascot, host and bonus-trigger symbol. Visual motif is a stylised casino card table: the entire background is tiled with faint repeating playing-card suit glyphs (spade, heart, diamond, club) on a dark blood-red field. Reel symbols are classic fruit-machine icons (BAR, bells, watermelon, grapes, orange, lemon, plums) plus jester-themed bonus coins and jackpot medallions.",
    "art_style": "2D digital illustration with semi-realistic painterly shading, NOT a flat vector/cel-shaded cartoon and not a 3D render or pixel art: the joker's face, coins, bells and fruit are rendered with soft gradients, specular highlights and drop shadows rather than flat fills or heavy dark outlines. Lighting is dramatic and low-key/theatrical -- a dark maroon-to-black background with warm golden glows radiating from the coins, medallions and the ornate gold picture-frame around the reels; there is no daylight anywhere in the game, it reads as a night/stage-lit scene throughout (base game, bonus, and win screens alike). Mood is villainous and dramatic rather than cheerful or child-friendly: the joker's expression is a menacing grin with narrow yellow eyes, sharp white teeth and a red mouth, closer to a horror-villain than a party jester. Camera/composition is a flat, straight-on frontal view of the reel grid with the joker character looming symmetrically behind/above it -- no isometric or side perspective anywhere. This is a notably darker, more dramatic palette than other InOut titles documented so far (which tend to be bright daytime cartoons); it must not be described using that lighter house style.",
