Are visual novels developed with the RenPy engine safe? My antivirus occasionally detects them as dangerous.

RenPy games, when downloaded from official developer links, are generally safe to install. It’s important to remember that RenPy is a legitimate and widely used game development engine, trusted by many developers. Antivirus alerts may be triggered due to the nature of how RenPy games are created. RenPy uses scripting and code execution, which can sometimes resemble behaviors associated with malicious software. However, as long as you are obtaining the game from official sources, such as the developer’s website or trusted distribution platforms, the risk of malware or malicious software is minimal.

However, it’s crucial to exercise caution when downloading games from unofficial or pirated sources. Unscrupulous individuals may take advantage of the popularity of certain games and alter the files with malicious intent, such as inserting malware or stealing user data. To ensure your safety and protect your personal information, it is always recommended to obtain games from official sources or authorized platforms. By doing so, you can enjoy RenPy games without compromising your security and have peace of mind while immersing yourself in the captivating worlds they offer.

Can I play Innocence Or Money on my Smartphone?

Yes, IoM is fully compatible with Android smartphones, allowing you to dive into the twists and turns of Season 1 up to the last episode. Please note, iOS (iPhone) users, that the mobile gaming experience is currently exclusive to Android.

While you can indeed enjoy the adventure on your phone, a recommendation for the optimal experience is to play “Innocence Or Money” on PC. This is due to a notable restriction within the Android operating system that caps application sizes at 2GB, necessitating significant compression of the game files. Such compression leads to a loss in quality, affecting the crispness and detail of the original design.

To ensure you’re still getting a rich gaming experience, the remastered version with its stunning 4K animations and expansive language options (30 in total) is reserved for the PC format to maintain its high-quality standards.

Exciting developments lie ahead for Season 2, as I, MarcialART, am currently exploring new technologies and methodologies that could transform the Android gaming landscape, allowing you to enjoy “Innocence Or Money” without compromising on quality.

For Android enthusiasts, the mobile version of the game is exclusively available for download through Patreon or Subscribestar. The Steam platform does not offer the mobile version as an option.
