The game incorporates several dopamine manipulation mechanics, such as variable rewards, streak mechanics, and escalating commitment to unlock gear. The 'underwater blackout system' could be perceived as a mild stopping barrier due to its penalty for failure. While there is no direct monetization or social risk, the game's difficulty and 'blackout' system could create frustration.
