The game contains mild suggestive themes and language, consistent with its E10+ rating. While it lacks manipulative design mechanics or monetization pressures, the narrative's focus on 'catgirls who really, REALLY love their master' could be seen as promoting potentially problematic relationship dynamics for younger audiences if not discussed.
