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?

Better yet, launch it in a VM with an antivirus

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.

Depends. Smart people have children who do stupid shit lol.

True.

Yep, was just meant as a "I want it 100% secure" way. Not saying its likely.
