Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.17 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.13 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks are related to content, with intense and graphic depictions of violence and a strong psychological horror theme. There are minor risks from compulsion-loop design and monetization due to the presence of microtransactions, which could involve variable rewards and spending prompts.

- DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.
- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
