The game presents very low risks. The thematic elements of death are stylized and presented in a 'gruesomely sweet' manner, not intended to be frightening or graphic. There are no manipulative monetization schemes, social pressures, or explicit content. Mild engagement mechanics like achievements and bonus levels are present but do not constitute manipulative design.
