Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
This game presents minimal risks. Its single-player nature and lack of social features eliminate concerns related to competitive toxicity, stranger interaction, or social comparison. There are no microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions, removing monetization pressures. Content-wise, the game's 'weird atmospheric' setting may evoke mild fear, but it does not feature violence, sexual content, or explicit language.

- 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.
