Design risks

The game's permanent death mechanic and demanding missions can be frustrating and lead to emotional regulation challenges. While there are no overt monetization risks, the game's design, with elements like loss aversion and escalating commitment to crew members, could subtly encourage continued play. The historical WWII setting introduces a mild level of propaganda and a focus on warfare. The game's structure, with its mission-based gameplay, encourages extended play sessions, and quitting mid-mission can have negative consequences.
