Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game features intense violence with frequent blood and gore, including masterful executions. The narrative's focus on war and vengeance, while fictional, might not be suitable for younger audiences. The game is entirely single-player and does not offer social benefits.
