The game presents minimal risks. Content-wise, it deals with the serious theme of a pandemic, which might involve mild fear or implied danger, but it is framed within an educational context focused on overcoming challenges. There are no predatory monetization schemes, social risks, or compulsion-loop design mechanics. The game's narrative is pro-public health, which is a mild form of propaganda, but generally beneficial.
