It was identified by Microsoft Defender.  Due to its size, I can't upload the file for independent testing, but I may be able to run a scan with different software.  I'll let you know if I find anything further.

I scanned all of the files, both compressed and uncompressed, with an enterprise grade anti-virus software and they came back clean.  Strangely enough, when I re-downloaded them last night on my personal computer (the one that initially flagged the trojan), they didn't set off Microsoft Defender again either.  So who knows what happened.  Just a false positive, I guess.

That's good to hear. Thanks for taking the time to  verify.

You should not get a false positive on a specific malware. Agent Tesla variants are keyloggers and credential stealing malware. And itch does scan files they host. I doubt they would not scan simple zip files.

The game was updated a while ago, so you should have gotten the false positive both times. If it were a false positive.

Unless a freak coincidence resulted in a one time false positive, I would be worried, that the Agent was or is  active at your home system and was accidentally detected. A quick read  told me, that at least one variant can deinstall itself. I would assume it does this, if some credentials were stolen, so the user does not  notice  the theft and changes the credentials.
