> If you see a zip file that is “password protected” DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Scammers encrypt their zip files with passwords so file hosts can’t run malware scans on the contents.

It is a .zip file but I can't see anywhere on the page that says whether or not it's password protected. Would that show up on the page? I guess that might be moot if itch.io doesn't scan zip files without a password.

It's not password protected. It also contains a source.7z that is not password protected.
