Game installs adware onto your PC, took some pics and got a refund from ITCH.IO themselves, buyer beware!appdata

look at the names
In process monitor
every time you save, load, or do anything with the game, it sends a UDP connection out of your PC to somewhere
I used the same pictures and ran itch.io support through it and pleaded with them to take action, at least I got the refund...

I'm sorry but how can I find those files on the pc?

agreed

I'll only believe you if you tell us how to get there and see for ourselves, otherwise I ain't believing in you because so far, I got no adware whatsoever

The game’s runtime is a packaged standalone version of the Chrome web browser, which is a common method for distributing games written in web technologies as executables. The names of files you’ve included in your screenshot show that, I don’t see anything explicitly related to adware.

Regarding the UDP network request, it’s probably once again part of the Chrome runtime with regards Chrome’s own analytics.

wow, nice explanation Leafo
