Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game contains frequent instances of strong language, crude humor, sexual content, violence, and references to drug and alcohol use, consistent with the South Park franchise. The humor often trivializes these elements. There is also sexual and violent content that appears together in some contexts.
