The game includes microtransactions, which may lead to additional spending. While not explicitly pay-to-win, the presence of in-game purchases could create pressure for players. The 'enemies follow you to the next level' mechanic introduces a mild form of loss aversion, potentially encouraging longer play sessions to avoid penalties. The action-oriented gameplay involves moderate violence and mild fear elements.
