There is such a thing as zero-day exploits. The moderators and admins here are not cyber security experts. Three times now I've gotten my computer infected from downloads here. Granted, that is twice out of probably 40-50 games downloaded and played. The games that nailed me? It starts off with a "false" positive of 13 detections out of 67. Then it creeps up to 35 or so detections after a month or two. I understand some cracks have to exhibit malware behavior to work, such as memory editing something as the game runs, but at the same time... I've also seen such laughably bad attempts to hide shit in RPG maker games where it was possible to just run the game.exe through 7zip to unpack it and bingo, crypto miner and some other bullshit tacked on.
There's nothing wrong with talking about virus total alerts here, and this is why the moderators put a "use your best judgement" tag on things like this. If you want to be the first person to run up the beach and get mowed down by malware, we salute you, but I think I'll just wait a month and see if anyone actually reports that they ran it anyway and got a ransomware or something.
The red flags from this game stems from Henry adding a locale emulator (NTLEAS,
applocale).
One of the new releases would CTD, or have
major bugs for anyone who doesn't have Japanese locality on their PC.
Japanese code can't be read by an English speaking computer.
So, instead of teaching everyone how to run non-English code on their computers, we get an emulator built in.
An emulator that is well known for creating false-positive malware / virus hits.
Wish Henry had done this a different way, but here we are.
Btw, the game on OP has been here since late 2021 with the exception of new character 'mods'.
There is no known malware.
