I am on itch.io and i found this game that looks cool but it is a zip file. and im unsure if it is safe

All of my time on windows I have never seen a .zip file as an "application." is it safe or should I avoid it. Can someone respond asap? Thank you.

It's fairly common for small games and applications to be distributed this way rather than as an installer like some larger software packages.

itch.io is a very above-board platform for developers, I've never heard of anyone using it to try and distribute malware, at least not successfully.

You should be fine
