Whenever I try and download the zip file for the game and it finishes. I try and open it and it comes up as "File Forbidden" is anybody else having this problem!?!?!?!?! I really want to play this game!!!

Could you provide any screenshot? Did you extract the downloaded archive and run Game.exe inside of the extracted folder, and not the archive?

I tried opening the files in my downloads folder and it says I don't have permission to the file and it shows the preview and downloading time remaining, when its finished downloading, I click it and results with "failed - file forbidden"

That's weird. "Forbidden" means that itch.io's server is preventing the download. Did you try downloading it again and could you try to download via the itch.io app if re-downloading fails too?

See the other thread here about Bitdefender and Malwarebytes flagging the game executables as a false positive. Perhaps there's another program doing the same on your machine.

According to this, I don't think it has to do with anything locally:

This error means you don't have permission to download this file from the server.

I'm not sure what's the difference between that and outright throwing a 403 Forbidden error, but I assume it has to do with forbidding mid-download.
