Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.27 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The game features high levels of violence due to its zombie shooter theme. While it has no monetization risks, the 'loss aversion' mechanic where losing your drill cuts off income could subtly encourage continued risky play. There are no social risks as it's a single-player experience.

- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
