Design risks

The game features high levels of violence and frequent references to drug use as a core mechanic. Its chaotic and unpredictable nature, coupled with the theme of a mental hospital and 'madness,' could be unsettling. While cooperative, the game's design can lead to competitive toxicity among friends, and its variable reward system for abilities may encourage prolonged engagement.
