The presence of microtransactions in Dream at Dead of Century introduces potential risks related to compulsion-loop design and monetization pressure, which could encourage excessive spending or prolonged engagement. While the game is episodic, the unresolved narrative at the end of the first episode could create a desire for immediate continuation. The occult themes and elements of despair and ghosts contribute to a moderate level of fear and horror content.
