Thank you for the reply, i downloaded the game directly from the downloads page, clicked through the pick your price thing and hit download on the mac version. this happened with my very old download then another one i downloaded five minutes before scanning it and got the same result. I use VirusBarrier Scanner. i'll try this with other scanners and get back to you. i just find it really annoying since i haven't had this problem before. thanks again!

Hey, i absolutely love this game, but recently when i was running a virus scanner on my mac i noticed that it caught something within your game called backdoor:OSX/CrossC2.Cobalt, which after some googling told me that it's a cross-platform malicious payload generated by CrossC2, which can allow attackers to extend Cobalt Strike into a few different systems.
As you can see in the image above, i have the option to repair such files, and when i did, i was unable to open the application afterwards. this has also occurred for other games i downloaded from itch.io, such as Incursion, another well-made and legit game which i have played before.
I don't know if that was added to the file after i downloaded this game or not, but you should probably investigate that sooner rather than later, because i love this game but i can't play it until i know its safe again.
