Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.33 | |
The game's themes of precarity and corporate exploitation, while thought-provoking, could be challenging for younger or more sensitive players. While there are some mild compulsion-loop design elements, they are not a core focus and are unlikely to lead to excessive play. The game's narrative focus and cycle-based structure provide natural stopping points, mitigating the risk of extended, unhealthy play sessions. Some mild language and references to substances and violence are present, consistent with its T for Teen rating.
