Torsion presents very low risks across the board. It contains no microtransactions, loot boxes, or subscriptions, ensuring a clear one-time purchase experience. There are no social risks as it's a single-player experience with no chat features. Dopamine manipulation mechanics like variable rewards, streaks, or FOMO events are absent. Content risks are minimal, with cartoonish violence against 'creepy monsters' and no sexual content, strong language, or substance references.
