Visage offers significant cognitive benefits through its emphasis on exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Players must piece together a complex narrative from subtle environmental clues, navigate intricate spaces, and strategize to survive against unseen threats, fostering strong spatial awareness, memory, and learning transfer. The intense psychological horror also challenges emotional regulation.

The primary risk of Visage is its intense psychological horror, which can be genuinely terrifying and cause significant distress. The game's themes of murder, suicide, and insanity, combined with its defenseless gameplay, create a constant state of fear and tension. There is also a warning for photosensitive epilepsy, indicating potentially triggering visual effects.
