You have a strange definition of going viral. https://www.google.com/search?q=link:https://shawnsvn.itch.io/tfs

You got 700 smileys from your developer group and the post was shared 22 times. Adult visual novels with ai images typically do not go viral.

Anyway, if the game really went viral, chances are, that Itch will work faster on the quarantine issue than for similar games with less traffic.

No one will tell you why the game was put in quarantine. It defeats the purpose to tell actual malware uploades why they are under suspicion. It is the standard quarantine message. That's the same for all quarantined games.

Some general information here https://itch.io/t/4120453/unofficial-search-and-indexing-faq , but mind you, your account is 11 days old and people will typically wait several weeks for getting indexed, unquarantined and so on.

Thank You.

The game shared from my profile has significantly better reach.,My main concern is the quarantine issue. I need to understand the reason for the warning to properly build the next package.

The reason for the warning is, that the game is in quarantine.

No one with authority will tell you why it is in quarantine.

I already told this, hence I guess a translation issue. I highlighted the reason why you will not be told the exact reasons.

No one will tell you why the game was put in quarantine. It defeats the purpose to tell actual malware uploades why they are under suspicion. It is the standard quarantine message. That's the same for all quarantined games.

And I want to add, that there is hundreds of malware uploaded on Itch per week. Some more obvious than others: https://itch.io/t/1659440/psa-beware-the-try-my-game-scam .
