At the moment I can't risk it and I only recently started downloading Itch.Io stuff, some games like this one got 2 fagged. 

From 1 I did got a more harmless bot thing or whatever that was catched.

Hi, did you get the Virus Total warning, from the download link, the page link or from the downloaded file?

If it is the file itself, our game is developed in Renpy, and while investigating the problem you reported, we found these reference posts.

Apparently, it is a false positive with games created in Renpy, anyway, we understand your concern and will investigate if we can do anything about it.

Thank you, I would like to try it out, but I might wait for another answer, seems like your still investigating.

If you should post it on steam, germany needs the not so cheap USk 18 rating to make it aviable, but I also might be able to buy it here soon.

Is there a priced version or something already? I have seen this a few times already.

Thank you for the reply, I wasn't sure how likely this was, only using Itch.io a short while.

I just noticed what you were asking, well I downloaded it and then put the downloaded zip data in Virus total I think.

Joangmin Trojan.Generi.hpekt  /           VBA BScope.Exploit.Shellcode          

After reading those posts I went back since I notice I forgot to empty my trash and  put the zip in virus total again.

The Joangming one was mentioned in the post you showed me, not the VBA I believe.


I hope this helps, in chase this is shown under the game and not just where I'M currently answering, I don't want to scare anyone, might as well be a false positive. I just needed to be sure.
