The game contains mature content, including high levels of violence, fear, and horror, as indicated by its ESRB M rating. There may also be some strong language and references to substances. Due to its single-player, linear nature and lack of manipulative design, it presents minimal risks related to compulsion-loop design, monetization, or social pressures.

- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
