My game is being ignored

Hello, to be honest, I don't understand what's going on. I've been posting my game on the site for some time now, I've posted 3 updates, but the game has never appeared in the New Releases section, in the feed that promotes new projects on the site. I really don't understand what's going on. Maybe there's something wrong with my profile? I even had to write here just to get the game indexed. It was indexed, but it's just not being promoted. I find this strange. Maybe I did something wrong? Other games are being promoted without any problems, all the time. Even new projects that have released their first update, but for some reason my game can't get into this section so that the site's audience can see that I exist. And yes, I read all the rules, I formatted the page well enough, made it public, the game doesn't require any money, it's free. And this has nothing to do with the recent ban and restoration of adult games, it just wasn't updated in this category before. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I have the best game that ever was, and I have to do my own promoting. It doesn't do it itself. Having said that, my views got to 650 and froze. Somebody want to help me, for an exchange, or a small fee? I need an html code guy. Good luck, rat guy, but you need to do  ALL the advertiseing work

...It's a NSFW game. Due to the ongoing situation, not all of them are indexed, even if they're set to "no payments".

Does this happen selectively? I just don't really understand how many more major updates I need to publish for the game to appear in the current update feed. Some people create their project and it appears there right away. It feels like it happens automatically, and for some reason, maybe because of incorrect settings, my game just doesn't get there. (And I'm still talking about NSFW, I'm keeping an eye on it, because games are being updated and getting there now.)

I don't know exactly how things are handled right now. There are some relevant topics in Developer Updates.

I'll definitely read it. I hope this problem will be resolved over time and the game will be updated like the rest. Otherwise, I'm starting to think about deleting it and trying to create it again by downloading it from a new account. (Or maybe that's not a bad idea?)

Deleting and recreating game pages is likely to mark your account as suspicious. You probably shouldn't do that without a serious reason.
