The game's primary risk lies in its high level of violent content, depicting the 'slaughter' and 'devouring' of living beings as a core mechanic. While not overtly manipulative in its design, the incremental nature of the game with continuous progression and permanent upgrades could encourage extended play sessions. The dark themes of being a 'demon lord' and harvesting souls may also be a concern for some players.
