Recommending people to put PiShock on their genitals is not something i would do as that can be really painful.
Also can you provide an executeable (.exe) and not an installer .msi . Itch.io’s sandbox can’t handle .msi files, so i don’t feel comfortable executing the installer. Ideally i want to read the source code as well. A shock collar access code is sensitive and if that gets uploaded somewhere and then people can shock me or a sub without me knowing, that could be bad.
I don’t know if it is a virus or otherwise harmful. I am not in a position to find out and to lazy to setup a vm. As is i don’t trust this app with shock collars i am given access too.
Running the file through virus total does not recognize it as a virus but the behavorial analsis that does raises some interesting questions:

Why is the domain “fp2e7a.wpc.phicdn.net” accessed?
Why is there is a suspicous time stamp?
Why modify the windows folder?
Why does it Checks for available system drives (often done to infect USB drives)?
Why does it Queries a list of all running processes?
Why does it Checks the free space of harddrives and Queries the volume information (name, serial number etc) of a device?

I find it neat that you wrote some game incorperating that toy but shock toys are sensitive.
