Despite being free of direct monetization (microtransactions, subscriptions), the game's 'addictive' design and likely reliance on advertising present risks. The absence of natural stopping points, combined with potential dopamine manipulation mechanics like variable rewards and near-misses, could lead to excessive screen time. The constant ad interruptions, if present, could also detract from the experience and potentially expose players to inappropriate content.
