The primary risks in To Be Altered: ACT 1 stem from its mature content, including high levels of violence, horror, and potentially strong language, consistent with its dark mystery theme. However, the game presents minimal risks related to compulsion-loop design, monetization pressures, or social interaction, as it is a single-player experience with no microtransactions or manipulative design mechanics.

- 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.
