I was looking for a pretty niche indie game, but I wanted to try it out before purchasing… The only link that still works is made by a user who made their account 4 years ago and about 700 posts, but also 1 warning.

How do I know whether or not I should trust this link?

    Is the game older, that no active links remain? In that case any up to date antivirus should find whichever malware might be embedded in the game easily.

        If you want to be very sure: no Internet connection. There are some ways to escape a VM, but its not very likely.

          I’d believe that such a malware with those zero days would target higher value targets than gamers looking for 60€ entertainment.
