Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and let me know! 💬

I understand how frustrating it can be when antivirus software blocks a game you’re excited to try. Talín is 100% safe and clean, but sometimes antivirus programs like McAfee flag indie games—especially RPG Maker games—as suspicious simply because they’re not widely recognized or digitally signed.

That said, I completely respect your caution. If you'd still like to give the game a try, one workaround is to temporarily disable real-time scanning while launching it, or add the game folder as an exception in McAfee. But only if you're fully comfortable doing so.

I’ll also look into this issue more deeply and see if there’s anything I can do on my end to avoid these false positives in future updates.

Thanks again for your support and trust—it means a lot! 🙏
If you ever do get a chance to play Talín, I hope the story and journey resonate with you.

Warm regards,
Emmanuel

If you check the game "Skolios", I remember having the same issue there. I no nothing about programming, but maybe it will interest you what Skolios' creator replied:

I've "packed" the entire game folder into the game.exe using "Enigma Virtual Box" so random people wouldn't be able to edit the game itself so easily (which happened before sadly).But that seems to cause some issues with said anti virus programs.

Greetings from Sweden!

Thank you so much for sharing that—and what a coincidence! 😊
I really appreciate you taking the time to mention Skolios and the creator's approach.

Just like in that case, I also “packed” the game using Enigma Virtual Box to bundle all the game files into a single executable. The main reason was to protect the integrity of Talín—I wanted to make it a bit harder for the files to be tampered with, especially after hearing stories of other indie projects being modified or broken unintentionally.

That said, I’ve learned this kind of packaging can sometimes raise red flags with certain antivirus programs, even though the game itself is completely safe. It’s frustrating, I know, and I’ll keep looking for a better balance between file protection and ease of access.

Again, thank you for your openness and kindness in sharing your experience—it helps a lot more than you might think!

Warm greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 to Sweden 🇸🇪

Hi again! I have had a good time with your game, but also experienced that the game crashed when using the great lightning staff combined with multiple shock. I switched it for an ice staff, which worked well.

Hi again!
I'm really glad to hear you've been enjoying the game—that truly means a lot to me! 😊

Thank you as well for pointing out the crash when using the Great Lightning Staff with Multiple Shock. You're actually the second player to report this, so now I know for sure it’s not just a one-time glitch. I’ll definitely look into it and do my best to fix the issue in a future update.

In the meantime, I’m happy to hear the Ice Staff is serving you well as an alternative! ❄️⚔️

Thanks again for playing Talín and for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback helps me improve the game and make it more stable for everyone.

It has been perfect days for gaming. It started to rain when I started the game, and I finished the game just as it stopped raining. It took me a little over 18 hours. Time to go outside and greet the sun. Great work, Emmanuel!

That is such a beautiful image—starting the game with the rain, finishing it as the sun comes out. 🌧️☀️
18 hours is an amazing journey, and I’m incredibly honored that you spent that time in the world of Talín. Thank you so much for playing, for sharing your thoughts along the way, and for your kind words.

I hope the sun greeted you as warmly as your message did for me. ☀️
Wishing you many more memorable adventures—both in games and in life.

With deep gratitude,
—Emmanuel
