The primary risks in Of Light and Darkness: The Prophecy are related to its content. The 'apocalyptic' theme, 'Dark Lord', and 'end-of-the-world predictions' contribute to notable fear and horror elements. There is also mild violence and language, consistent with its ESRB T rating. Crucially, the game presents no significant risks from dopamine manipulation, monetization pressures (as it has no microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions), or social risks, as it is a single-player experience without online interaction.
