Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.03 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The game presents very low risks across all categories. There are no manipulative compulsion-loop mechanics, monetization pressures, or social risks like stranger chat or competitive toxicity. Content is clean with no violence, sexual themes, or inappropriate language. The primary risk is the time commitment inherent in a deep simulation game, though natural stopping points are present.

- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
