The primary risks in Insomnia: Chapter One stem from its content. The game's premise of an 'out of control' situation in an isolated Arctic station strongly suggests elements of fear and horror, which may be intense for some players. There is also potential for moderate violence as players confront the unknown threats. Parents should be aware of the suspenseful and potentially frightening atmosphere.
