| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risk in Frostfire is the potential for excessive screen time, as its infinite play loop and engaging puzzle mechanics can lead to prolonged sessions. While it lacks overt dopamine manipulation tactics like FOMO or notifications, the variable rewards of successful merges and high scores can still contribute to extended play.
