Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game features a high level of violence, including frequent combat and killing. It may also contain strong language and elements of fear or horror, consistent with its mature themes. Due to its single-player nature, there are minimal opportunities for positive social interaction or development of social-emotional skills.
