Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.10 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game features moderate violence and some sexualized content (rescuing maidens). While there are no significant monetization or social risks, the focus on combat and potentially simplistic character representations may limit the development of empathy or critical social thinking. The defenceless target modifier for violence is true as the game involves rescuing maidens.
