Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game’s focus on repetitive tasks and solo play offers limited social-emotional development. While there are mild compulsion-loop designs, these are not aggressive and primarily serve to motivate progression rather than create compulsive engagement. There are no monetization or content risks.
