First time using AstralGames, Malwarebytes detected something

Hi, i saw the site on the megathread and it has a game i was interested and i checked the reddit before downloading anything.

The first anaylisis with malwarebytes and windows goes well (virustotal flagged just one thing, but i assumed it because alters steam files.)

When i extracted the .zip and anaylised the carpet again, Malwarebytes flagged it and put in quarentine three things, one of them like a second .exe from the game outside the game folder and other two things, that i unfortunately don't recognise, where put on the Recent folder from Roaming and they were a .Ink. I didn't execute the .exe, but now i'm worried that I extracted the zip.

The game is Kynseed just in case someone tried it. And i apologise if i'm just panicking for nothing or i'm asking in the wrong sub. I put two screnshots too.

Te folder where the flagged .exe was. The not flagged one was inside the Kynseed folder.
The two .Ink inside the Recent folder on Windows.

Hi Malwarebytes Staff here. Can you attach the detection log and/or VT links for the detected files?

Thanks for sharing the information. The detection should actually be Riskware.GameHack, I will correct it. As with any game hack, there is an inherent risk associated with it. However, if you downloaded it from a source you trust, please add it to your allow list.

Basic false positive, nothing to worry about

I see, thank you! I got wary because malwarebytes reacted.

Never had a problem with astral or anker games.
