The game's horror parody elements, while not graphically violent, can create a sense of fear and anxiety, especially for younger or more sensitive players. Its single-player nature offers minimal social-emotional benefits. While not designed for manipulation, the tension and near-miss mechanics can make it hard to disengage.
