Can hackers use Renpy code as malware?
After going through DDLC a thought crossed my mind, if Monica can know the computer's username, processes (the jumpcsare at the end of the game), and know the location of a file and her ability to delete files, can we say that the Renpy game can work as a full-fledged virus while open?

A RenPy game is just a program runnning on your PC. It can do whatever any program can do, including creating files, deleting files and getting info about your PC.
In general you should treat RenPy game exactly as you would treat any other downloaded program.

This is true, and is true of all games, and all software you download. (And another good reason to get games from official sources and not shady sites.)
