The primary risk associated with Zombie Ants VR is the potentially unsettling nature of its subject matter, the 'zombifying spore' and 'horrifying cycle' of parasitic fungi. While presented educationally, some players might find the theme of biological manipulation and infection disturbing. However, the game exhibits very low risks in terms of compulsion-loop design, monetization, and social interaction, as it is a single-player educational experience with no microtransactions or social features.
