Players will constantly be evaluating their choices of upgrades and weapons to overcome increasingly difficult procedurally generated levels and foes. The game encourages critical thinking under pressure and rewards persistence.
Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks in Star of Providence are limited. The game's violence is directed at abstract enemies in a top-down pixel art style, mitigating its impact. As a single-player experience with no monetization, it avoids social and financial pressures found in many other games.
