Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
While primarily a single-player experience with no manipulative monetization or social risks, the game's 'T' ESRB rating indicates moderate violence and potentially mild language. The challenging nature of traps and monsters could also induce some fear or frustration.
