You will be fine; you needed to have to run it on the 1st or after. So, just re-download and good to go.

Positive - there's code that disregards OS's other than windows. Based linux gigachads just can't stop winning.

Lucky me then, 3rd time in the last few months Ive had a virus scare but been fortunate enough that I'm unaffected
Definitely had those 2 files on the system (token ones). Ran game yesterday (before 01/08).
Full scans done with Malwarebytes, RogueKiller and Defender, nothing found.
Deleted game and saves, going to observe for now. Not sure what the bloody thing even does, but not noticing any strange behaviour.
Lesson learned, wait a day before downloading stuff.

Compressed was infected too, but if you played it before your date switched to 1st Aug, you should be fine.

It is as they said to activate on/after the 1st.
I still re-did new links now as I noted.
what are the steps we should take? I ran windows defender and malwarebytes and I got not hits. I deleted the game and the zip file for the game and I got rid of the stuff in the token folder (yes I did find the two weird files in my token folder that everyone is talking about.) Is there anything else I should do? I'm kinda new to all this. I also don't understand the whole pc date thing, will the malware have only infected me if I downloaded the file after august 1st? or does it automatically run once my pc hits august 1st?

My understanding is that it runs if you start the infected game after August 1st and that they have since cleaned / removed the infected links.
This is one of those "consult your doctor if any weird spots start showing up" situations I guess.

Ok so i downloaded the game and started it up around 06.04 CET (Norway) give or take a few minutes I played the update fully then came back and saw the virus announcement. I've uninstalled the game and done a quickscan with the windows anti virus but it says everything is ok. Is there anything else i should do/check? Thankfull for any and all help as im absolutely horrible when it comes to stuff like this.

Uhhh so. Well there is sadly no guarantee for anything. You after you have done the scan you could check the "%appdata%/RenPy/tokens" folder and check for "AutoIt3.exe" & "script.a3x" files, but even if they are not there doesn't meant they weren't as they can (and previous virus version did) infect system.dll(s). The only really safe measures would be, re-installing Windows and changing all of the PWs.
