Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game's 'nightmarish atmosphere' and 'bleak and depressing world,' inspired by dark artists, contribute to a high fear/horror content risk. While rated E10+, the dark themes may be intense for some players. There are no significant compulsion-loop design, monetization, or social risks due to its single-player, one-time purchase nature.
