Given its genre as an action shooter and title 'Spookiest', there is a high likelihood of significant violence and fear/horror content. However, the game appears to have very low risks related to compulsion-loop design, monetization, and social pressures, as it lacks microtransactions, loot boxes, subscriptions, and stranger chat features.
