The game's abstract and slow-paced nature might not appeal to all players, potentially leading to disengagement. The 'pretend lovers' aspect and exploration of complex emotions might be unsuitable for very young children without guidance. While not explicitly stated, the 'lonely walks' and 'pain of love' themes could evoke feelings of melancholy.
