Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game features visceral action and themes of plague and corruption, leading to moderate content risks related to violence and fear. However, it presents very low risks concerning dopamine manipulation, monetization pressure, and social interaction due to its single-player design and lack of microtransactions or social features.
