The game's rogue-lite nature and 'infinite work procedure mode' can lead to extended play sessions, with mechanics like loss aversion and near-miss events contributing to compulsion-loop design. The constant need for active management and the potential for chaos if not stopped instantly can penalize breaks, making it difficult for players to disengage. The game also features significant violence and fear/horror elements.
