I purchased and download buckshot roulette from https://mikeklubnika.itch.io/buckshot-roulette

Is it actually a virus or is it a false positive can anybody check?

Please report any such game using the little link in the page footer, so that itch.io staff can take a look.

This is release from a relatively well known creator, I would say it’s highly unlikely it’s infected with a virus. Typically virus scans will have false positives, so you should take that into account when deciding to trust a creator.

We use VirusTotal to review uploaded files by creators, which utilizes many virus scanners at once. You can see the results of a scan for the game here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d4b0907e2ee63585ea36c0335c21ee10b3334d999749fb72bda070d7df41624c

Personally I don't think malware reports should be done on a public forum. The fear for malware has already caused people to do strange things based on false public reports based on false positives by anti-virus-software.
Yet a good thing it's cleared up with a Virus Total result. 

hmmm.... idk if this is a false positive :0, im not gonna play it XD
