Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game contains frequent intense violence and some fear/horror elements, which may be unsuitable for younger players. While it lacks overt compulsion-loop design or monetization, the mature content is a primary risk factor. The narrative does not appear to promote diverse representation.
