The game's giving a windows defender alert whenever it's booted up, is it a false warning?
You can check F95Zone or Patreon. Those people havent had any issues. You can scan it, Avast told me it was all good.
That happens with a lot of games I've downloaded on itch, but never had problems.
There is also a lot of malware on Itch. Like, really a lot.
The problem here is, that the dev mentions other places, but those other places do not link to the Itch account. Well, at least the Twitter does.
These are my direct uploads. Sorry for not the other links
