Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
While largely free of monetization and social risks, Ghostly Acres, as an incremental game, utilizes variable rewards and infinite play loops which can encourage extended engagement. However, the 'play at your own pace' design mitigates some of these risks.

- DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.: Estimated from review data. No dark pattern or child-targeting concerns found.
- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
