i cant play it because it keeps getting flagged by windows defender :(

Hi! So a lot of Ren'Py games that aren't submitted to Anti-virus programs are automatically flagged by such defenders. They come up as false positives, so the defender is just doing its job. There are ways to work around Windows Defender to play the games you want to try, including this one! I apologize for the frustration, but typically submitting a game to be exempt from defenders TO said defenders can come with costs and hassle.

oh ok, thank you :]
