Didn't run the .exe, neither Malwarebytes nor Microsoft defender flags the .exe as a threat anymore BUT VirusTotal shows 11/66 red flags on the executable for the game saying its most popularly labelled as a trojan, not sure if every single one of the red flags is a false positive but I ain't gonna risk it. looks like it could be a great game though outside of the security risks!
Yeah, this has been pretty frustrating for me too. A lot of it comes from the reputation issues and vulnerabilities Unity executables have had over the years, which unfortunately can trigger false positives on some antivirus services.
I totally understand not wanting to take the risk, though. As soon as I can afford a code-signing certificate, I'll start signing my executables to help get rid of these false positives and make the .exe files look more trustworthy to antivirus software.
In the meantime, if the .exe still makes you uncomfortable, you can always use the APK versions of my games or the web versions instead.
Thanks for checking it out and for being cautious!
It’s actually a false positive. I’ve already submitted the executable to Microsoft for review so Windows Defender will stop flagging it as a virus. In the meantime, if you’re still concerned about the PC version, you can use the APK version instead. Thanks for letting me know!
