Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game's high difficulty, intended to be frustrating, may lead to emotional outbursts. While there are no direct monetization or social risks, the 'unfinished' nature and lack of clear stopping points could lead to extended play sessions.
