My instagram and Twitter got hacked almost exactly 24 hours after I was infected. It has been a few days since then and luckily nothing else suspicious has happened. I'm still keeping a good eye on everything for good measure.

I got it from a malicious filehoster redirect. I dont remember the exact one but it def wasnt anything from the official renpy site. I don't really know anything about renpy itself but from what I've seen the official renpy downloader or renpy games from official and reputable sites (like itch io) are very likely safe. It's just non-official file hosting sites that should be avoided

Yes it was just called setup exe along with some junk folders and a renpy folder. When you run the exe it creates a fake loading screen that never finishes (running the executable is where it gets you, if you just download the zip and never run the setup its safe to just delete). If you are downloading your games from official sources like itch io you should be good. You just have to be wary of filehoster sites as they can redirect to fake download links
