Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The game's primary risks stem from its mature content, specifically high levels of violence and frequent depictions of fear and horror. The themes of sacrifice, including body parts and lives, could be disturbing for younger or more sensitive players. While there are no direct monetization or social risks, the intense atmosphere and ethical dilemmas presented might require emotional maturity to process.
