Design risks

The primary risk of Party Hard lies in its extreme violence, where the objective is to kill numerous people. The violence is often presented in a trivialized manner, and targets are often depicted as defenseless party-goers. While presented in a pixel-art style, the core gameplay loop revolves around murder, which could desensitize players to violence.
