This got flagged as malicious on virus total as a trojan (worm)
Is this a false positive? I usually don't get such things from games on itch.io

False positive. Many games often get flagged by antivirus software that were made using various platforms, such as RenPy and RPGMaker. Best to double check with another, more reliable, antivirus program or just download the game, transfer it to a datastick or external drive, remove the stick, check your comp again for viruses, reconnect the stick, play the game, remove the stick, and check your comp again. If it comes up with no virus, then it was definitely a false positive. Honestly, most virus warning are just an issue with the company producing the antivirus software and them being competitors of other companies or not getting paid by certain groups, so they make anything related to those groups seem like a virus or maleware. Use common sense and your own decisions on this.
Wasn't being rude. I ment that as literal advise. When in doubt always ask someone. Wasn't ment as an insult or anything. Just what I would tell anyone. It might seem a bit off, but you'd be surprised at how often simply reminding someone about common sense can cause them to think of answers they otherwise would have missed.
