Why we think so
2 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, including all 17 major antivirus engines that returned results. It has been seen from over 700 sources across eight months, and its sandbox run was clean. It is unsigned, so get it from the game's official source.
No engine reports a detection, and every major antivirus engine that returned a result marked it clean. The file is common, with 729 unique submitters over 249 days, which fits a distributed indie game; it writes a GameMaker temp folder when it ran. All contacted hosts were checked against our URL cache with no malicious or suspicious results, and most were the analysis machine's own background traffic. A community tag list naming several unrelated malware families has no engine or intel corroboration and carries little weight.
What We Detected
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this 64-bit Windows executable. Malware-intel feeds and researcher YARA rule sets returned no matches. The file has been submitted from 729 unique sources since February 2026.
Threat Behavior
One sandbox run completed with a clean result. The program launched from the desktop and created a GameMaker temporary folder, typical of a GameMaker-built game. All 8 contacted hosts were checked with no known-bad results, and nearly all were background traffic from the analysis machine. Five dropped files have no saved verdict, which is neither good nor bad.
What To Do Now
The evidence supports running this game. Because it is unsigned, download it only from the developer's official page or a trusted storefront, and keep your antivirus enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The executable is unsigned, so publisher identity cannot be confirmed from a certificate.
- The sandbox mapped process-injection and elevation-control techniques, though no injected process was recorded and game engines often trigger these mappings.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.

- The executable has no digital signature, so the publisher cannot be confirmed by certificate.
