Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.20 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks are low, as the game is single-player with no monetization or social interaction. There is a minor risk of escalating commitment due to the open-ended nature of simulation games, but natural stopping points mitigate this.
