Installing The Game Question:

To be completely honest, I'm not exactly a tech whiz so I barely know how to use my own computer. I'm trying my best to install 'The Endless Forest', but when I try to finish the setup, User Account Control comes up with a prompt that says; "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?". Again, I'm not too keen with technology and this is certainly one of the first times I've come across this. I've researched a bit about it, yet I'm still concerned and wanted to ask someone with experience. Do I go ahead and say "Yes?" I'm worried that something might happen to the computer if I do press "Yes", but whenever I respond with a "No", it doesn't work/finish the process.

Ever since I first looked into this game, I've always wanted to try out and see what excitement I can get out of it, but now I'm scared about getting a possible virus or something along those lines. The game seems fun, but downloading things never did stick to me because of how cautious I am and I might regret my choices. This will also be the seocnd time playing a downloadable multiplayer game, although the one before never had the whole "User Account Control" prompt.

I might get an answer saying how blind I've been and I really do just press "Yes", or heck I might not even get an answer because of how dated this question will be, but this decision recently has been driving me up a wall. I extremely don't want to mess with anything that's too far out of my reach and rather not screw up the computer if possible. "Unknown Publisher" just doesn't seem trustworthy enough. I'm also new to the community website so if there's a better place to ask questions, let me know!

~Please and thank you to anyone who has the time on their hands to respond, it would really help me out!

As long as you are

As long as you are downloading from the official Tale of Tales/TEF website, there are no viruses in the install package. Likely you're getting that pop up because the game was designed as a screensaver (although that function doesn't play nice with newer versions of Windows)/it's part of your computer's security settings.
You can always scan it with an antivirus software before installing if it would help you feel more secure.

clicking "Yes" should be

clicking "Yes" should be fine, sometimes it shows up as "unknown publisher" because it might not have any info attached to the file that would be something your computer can identify, like if you'd bought a game from a place like Microsoft or EA Games or something. So as long as you'e downloading TEF from their website it's safe =D

Ah, I see. Yes, I'll be sure

Ah, I see. Yes, I'll be sure to do that, thank you for answering!~
