Design risks

R1	Compulsion-loop pressure		0.00
R2	Monetization		0.00
R3	Social risk		0.00

The primary risk is potential frustration from challenging city management mechanics, which could lead to feelings of failure if buildings are demolished. While the game does not feature explicit social risks or harmful content, the emotional investment in the buildings' well-being could be a minor concern for highly sensitive individuals if their efforts to save buildings are unsuccessful.
