Sunset encourages strategic thinking and problem-solving through its gameplay mechanics, such as resource management (cinnabar) and adapting to different biomes and enemy types. The adaptive challenge of boss fights and randomly spawned events promotes learning and transfer of skills. Players will also develop hand-eye coordination and reaction time due to the TPS combat.
Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.17 | |
The game's focus on combat and progression through ranks may foster competitive toxicity and social comparison, even without direct multiplayer interaction. The emphasis on 'cinnabar, cinnabar and more cinnabar' for upgrades, while not directly monetized, could create a compulsion loop around resource accumulation. The violence content, while against hostile characters, is a core mechanic.
