itch.io

I have the exact same issue

No, and I removed my controllers just in case. Normal keyboard and mouse

Hello, when I launch the game it says press any button to continue but nothing happens no matter how many buttons I press it wont go past the launching screen!

For some reason VirusTotal upload of the main executable keeps failing. On other upload websites as well. 

Could someone else try it?

For the record this is my antivirus report:

I have to agree with you and I have encountered several false positives in the past.

However in this case, the viruses and trojans were very specific and not generic ones.

Also, once running the executable, it tried creating several .exes and .dlls in system folders.

I have the full antivirus report in case anybody needs it

Hello, i ve been downloading games from itch.io for quite some time.

However, this is the very first time I had a trojan + virus downloaded and it is from the main executable of this game:

https://pattystudio.itch.io/the-hollows

Virus: Win32.Neshta.a

Trojan:  Trojan.Win32.Bazon.a + Trojan.MSIL.Injects.gen

All discovered by Kasperksy.

Avoid this game at all costs and I hope it gets deleted and the author banned.
