The primary risks in CRABS MUST DIE! stem from its content, which includes frequent violence against various creatures and humanoids, and references to alcohol (a 'cold bottle of beer' used as a weapon). While there are minimal compulsion-loop design mechanics and no monetization pressures, the game's focus on combat may not be suitable for all players.
