Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
This game presents very low risks across all categories. There is minimal dopamine manipulation, primarily through achievements, and no monetization pressures, loot boxes, or subscriptions. Social risks are absent due to its single-player nature. Content risks are also low, with only mild fantasy violence and occasional elements of fear related to battling 'dangerous and feared creatures' within a retro graphical style.
