The primary risk in Erma: The Game lies in its 'comedy horror' theme, which includes elements of fear and horror, such as 'whispering' and general spooky atmosphere. While violence is likely mild and implied, the horror elements might be unsettling for very young or sensitive players. Crucially, the game presents very low risks regarding compulsion-loop design, monetization, or social pressures, as it is a single-player experience with no microtransactions or manipulative design mechanics.

- 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.
