"The casual windows gamer" can say goodbye to his Windows installation.
When I opened that exe's info it did not say Ashampoo. And a few seconds later the Windows Defender removed the file.
For what's it worth, I shall also report this game. I found the hidden exe file that is the real game. There are two exe files in that folder. One is hidden plus system file - the rpg maker file and a known legit exe https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/487bd28f3d0b43ed9827ba519d6d113c4f31059bd62b...
It is sad that all those scanners do not agree on what malware exactly it is, since it is several years old.
