Sorry to bring this up again, but since this has become a topic of conversation here, I think it would be good for everyone (including the dev) to have someone other than the dev checking the game's files and sharing the results here.
This was done on January 22, 2024, with the version 0.1.3 of the game.
In summary: No threats were found in the game's files here.
I have Windows Defender from Windows 10 with all updates up to date + A paid version of an antivirus software that I use. I use both to protect my computer. Yes, I checked if all my protections were enabled, including real-time protection, and I did all the scans possible to detect any possible threat.
When I downloaded the game, my protections didn't signal any possible threat. After downloading the game I scanned it, before unzipping it, both with Windows Defender and with my other antivirus. The two didn't detect any threats in the file. I also checked the zipped file on VirusTotal, which also didn't detect anything malicious. Just to be safe, I also ran a full scan of my computer after downloading the game.
I also repeated the entire process above after unzipping the files. Still no threat found.
Sharing this in case there is anyone suspicious and worried about downloading the game after reading some of the first comments, and maybe having someone here sharing this could help.
