Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game contains mild cartoon violence and some infrequent use of mild language, typical for a 'T' rated game. There are no direct monetization risks, compulsion-loop design mechanics, or social risks due to the single-player nature of the game and lack of microtransactions.
