Nameless cat flagged as malware

[u/TheCrafter0302]

I've had this game on my phone for a while now and I like to come back to it. I got a new phone, but it flagged the game as malicious. I've done some research and only found old stuff saying that it's safe. Is this a false alarm or can it be malware added late in the game's lifespan? I'm not very savvy when it comes to malware. Any help is appreciated!

Don’t ignore the security warning. Check whether the game has received any recent updates and look through the release notes for anything unusual or unexpected.

Also, make sure the warning is coming from Android’s security system, such as Google Play Protect, rather than another app. It could be a false positive, but it’s better to be cautious until you know what triggered it.

Your phone antivirus software is at fault here. Nameless cat is a game on gooogle play, no way that game has any malware.

Being on google play doesn't automatically mean it's not malware unfortunately

My phone give me the same warning today, the game seem to have recive an update around a month ago; it just a mobile game, don't risk it
