The primary risks in THE DOOM 2D are related to its content, featuring frequent violence against supernatural entities (ghosts) and potentially unsettling horror elements due to its setting. However, it presents minimal risks concerning compulsion-loop design, monetization pressures, or social interaction, as it lacks microtransactions, social features, and manipulative design mechanics.
