Design risks

This game carries high risks due to its mature content, including frequent and brutal violence, strong language, and explicit references to drug dealing and sexual themes. While it avoids manipulative monetization and compulsion-loop mechanics, its open-world, continuous gameplay loop may lead to extended play sessions, and the lack of natural stopping points could make it challenging for players to disengage. The game's themes also lack positive social-emotional development opportunities.
