Design risks
| R1 | Dopamine pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
This game presents very low risks, particularly concerning monetization and social pressures, as it explicitly states no microtransactions, loot boxes, battle passes, subscriptions, or stranger chat. The primary risk, if any, might be mild thematic elements related to the 'Baldi' character's origin, but these are unlikely to be significant given the educational genre.
