Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks are mild violence and fear/horror due to the medical themes and the depiction of bodily harm, though these are presented in a stylized and non-graphic manner. There are no significant compulsion-loop design or monetization risks. Some mild pressure from time limits during operations might induce stress for some players.
