Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
This game presents very low risks in terms of compulsion-loop design and monetization, with no microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions. Social risks are also minimal, as stranger chat is explicitly absent, reducing competitive toxicity and privacy concerns. The primary risks are content-related, involving moderate violence against otherworldly creatures and some fear/horror elements due to the game's setting and enemies.
