it looks like the type of game i'd play and i was really excited when it finished downloading. but the thing is, i scanned it before unzipping on virustotal and i got 1 thing that got flagged "Zoner Probably Heur.ExeHeaderH" am i the only one who has experienced this?
Heur.ExeHeaderH on virus total says Ad-Aware on my download also, i check both the art book and the game. I did not open any of the files!!! Just dragged them to virus total and did a microsoft defender scan.
Only the game seems infected, the art book is clean, but only virus total found the @virus. Its strange how the other comments dont mention this.
Sucks since the game seemed to have a nice art style, i deleted my files instead. Not worth the risk.
RPG Maker games have a long tendency of throwing up false positives with certain antiviruses, it is not unique to Red Trees and is common among all games made with this engine. See: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rpg-maker-mv-virus.66938/
Game has otherwise been sitting comfy on itch.io since 2016 without issue. You're fine.
I can assure you that the game does not contain any viruses or malicious software. I just went to check for myself, as it's not something I have used before, and VirusTotal is a service which aggregates over 60 different antivirus services and scans the uploaded file with each one individually. In the case of Red Trees, only one of these 60+ services throws up a warning for potentially malicious software. This indicates a false positive. In the case of truly malicious software you would be looking for detection across the board from several different services.
False positives are not uncommon for games made in this engine (RPG Maker) and more broadly for all sorts of software being scanned through VirusTotal. VT even say so themselves and offer an entire paid service for developers looking to mitigate the risk of false positives.
