Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.07 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks are minimal, focusing on very mild compulsion-loop design through collectible items. The game has no monetization, social interaction with strangers, or problematic content. The main limitation is the lack of diverse representation.
