This is DIFFERENT from the catalog/record name \"Wild Ape #3258\" and from the in-panel Game Rules title, which both read \"Wild Ape #3258\" (rules_p1.png, first line under the 'Game Rules' header, verbatim OCR match). Recording BOTH per doc-writer convention: catalog/rules name = 'Wild Ape #3258' (digits 3-2-5-8), splash LED wordmark = '3250' (digits 3-2-5-0). This is a genuine number discrepancy between two in-game sources, not a misread — flagged for TL, not resolved here.",
    "theme": "An NFT-collectible-style cartoon ape avatar (dressed like a Bored-Ape-Yacht-Club-inspired profile picture: black baseball cap, sunglasses, gold hoop earring, black-and-white striped shirt) at a nighttime tropical dock/beach-hut party strung with colorful string lights, moving into a warm desert-canyon sunset with crystal outcrops during the Free Spins feature. A small skull-and-crossbones-style logo mark and the letters 'BA?YC' (partially obscured by a skull glyph) appear on the splash screen next to the game name, echoing an NFT-club emblem without spelling out a real brand name.",
    "art_style": "A single semi-realistic, glossy 3D-rendered CGI mascot character (the ape) is composited over stylized 3D-rendered environment backgrounds (wooden dock at night, desert canyon at sunset) with dramatic cinematic lighting, bloom/glow highlights, and warm colored rim light. Small iconography elsewhere in the game uses a different, flatter register: simple flat-color 2D icons (crown, watch, bottle, glass, pizza, banana) and thin neon-outlined card-rank glyphs with a soft colored glow. Overall mood is vibrant, energetic party/nightlife with saturated neon pinks, purples, cyans and gold, not a flat daytime cartoon and not photorealistic realism.",
