The game's high difficulty, scarce checkpoints, and penalization of breaks can lead to frustration and extended play sessions. The strong horror elements, including violence and fear, may be unsuitable for younger or more sensitive players. While there are no direct monetization or social risks, the intense atmosphere and potentially disturbing content warrant caution.
