Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.03 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.11 | |
The game presents very low risks regarding compulsion-loop design, monetization, and social pressures, as it lacks microtransactions, loot boxes, and explicit social features like chat. Content risks are minimal, with stylized fantasy violence appropriate for its E10+ rating and mild thematic elements of fear/horror.
