Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.03 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game presents very low risks in terms of compulsion-loop design and monetization, as it explicitly states no microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions, and its engagement mechanics are primarily narrative-driven rather than manipulative. Social risks are also minimal due to the absence of stranger chat and a focus on positive in-game relationships. Content risks include moderate violence from organized gangs and environmental hazards, mild romantic themes, and potentially some mild language and fear elements appropriate for its 'intense' sci-fi setting.
