Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.22 | |
While not directly monetized, the open-ended nature and continuous progression in Evochron Mercenary could lead to extended play sessions due to the 'just one more task' loop. There are minimal social risks as stranger interaction is optional and not directly incentivized. Content risks are low, primarily limited to mild, non-graphic combat.
