Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.22 | |
The game features high levels of violence and a dark theme of vigilantism, which may be concerning for some players. The competitive multiplayer mode could also lead to social comparison and potential toxicity. While there are no direct monetization risks, the game's focus on 'killing prowess' and 'achievements' could foster a drive for mastery that some might find intense.
