01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The page is a legitimate creator profile on itch.io offering a paid Steam key for the mature game 'Wicked Island' and a free demo. It is hosted on a well-known indie platform with age verification and no detected scam mechanics.

Platform and commercial offer

The page belongs to the creator 'RawDarkness' on itch.io and lists a paid Steam key for 'Wicked Island' at $34 along with a free legacy demo.

The site requires visitors to confirm they are 18 or older before viewing mature content, which is standard for itch.io pages hosting adult-themed games.

Technical checks and reputation

The browser threat feed shows no threat warning and the TLS connection is valid.

One older antivirus report flagged a result, but the page itself is hosted on the established itch.io platform and the detection is likely a false positive related to game files.

Why the score is 88

The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  1. Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on rawdarkness.itch.io and not a lookalike like r-awdarkness.itch.io or an IDN homoglyph.

  2. Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  3. Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is rawdarkness.itch.io legit and safe?
Our automated security review found no threat indicators on rawdarkness.itch.io, so it appears legitimate. and the parent domain itch.io is 14 years old, registered on October 27, 2011. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
Is rawdarkness.itch.io safe to use?
rawdarkness.itch.io has a Safety Score of 88/100 (Safe). The saved checks and analysis found no material threat at scan time. Treat unexpected login or payment requests with normal caution.
Could a legitimate site like rawdarkness.itch.io still be used in a scam?
Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from rawdarkness.itch.io), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from rawdarkness.itch.io is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
Has rawdarkness.itch.io been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged rawdarkness.itch.io, 1 of them as outright malicious in the saved analysis from April 8, 2024. None of these detections came from the engines we treat as highest-confidence, so they are weighed alongside the other checks rather than on their own.
Is rawdarkness.itch.io on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — rawdarkness.itch.io is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the rawdarkness.itch.io domain?
rawdarkness.itch.io is a subdomain of itch.io, which is 14 years old, registered on October 27, 2011 through 1API GmbH. That is the parent domain's registration age: it does not show how long rawdarkness.itch.io itself has existed or who runs it, so it is weighed alongside the other checks.
Does rawdarkness.itch.io have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — rawdarkness.itch.io presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 33 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is rawdarkness.itch.io hosted?
rawdarkness.itch.io resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the rawdarkness.itch.io report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 16, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about rawdarkness.itch.io has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
