Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.10 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.11 | |
The game contains mature themes, including violence and suggestive sexual content, which are often trivialized or used for titillation. The depiction of 'femme fatales' could reinforce gender stereotypes. While the game lacks modern monetization risks, the content may not be suitable for younger audiences.
