Before running the game I ran it through VirusTotal. It read as having a Trojan. If this is accidental, I ask that it gets fixed. I've seen it in several other games as well on itch so maybe its just VirusTotal but I can never be to careful.

Sounds like a VirusTotal issue, been playing this game for maybe a year and I haven't had any issues, and my virus software ain't picked up on anything either.

I wouldn't say it's as much of a VirusTotal issue as a fact that VirusTotal is not intended to be used that way. I found a blog post that explains it so I don't have to: https://www.remoteutilities.com/blog/is-virustotal-the-right-tool/ (side note, although I'm using a link here, please be very careful about clicking any links in the itch.io comment sections as a lot of malware-posting bots have been spamming links too)

If VirusTotal is reading a significant number of reports then I'll see if I can do something about it, otherwise it seems to be working as normal.

I just ran it through VirusTotal and got a 1/70, and the 1 was Trojan.Heur, the Heur stands for Heuristics, meaning its functionally just predicting that it has a Trojan based on previous data from other files. It's also from one of the way too sensitive AVs which always have lots of false positives. The file is probably fine.
