Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game's primary risk lies in its potentially problematic framing of a real-world pandemic, which could be seen as trivializing or misrepresenting a serious issue through a 'destroy the enemy' lens. The lack of social or emotional components means it doesn't offer benefits in those areas, and the absence of diverse representation is notable.
