The primary risk of Amnesia: Rebirth is its intense psychological horror content, designed to evoke terror and fear. This M-rated experience features horrific creatures and a constant sense of dread, which may be disturbing for some players. While not relying on manipulative design mechanics, the game's immersive nature and focus on fear could lead to emotional distress for sensitive individuals.
