Download Counts Clarification?

Hi all,

My game (a physical, print and play board game) is at 978 downloads on my dashboard - the game consists of about twenty files.

My question is are the 978 downloads a total of the individual FILES downloaded, or 978 downloads of the GAME as a WHOLE THING?

Thank you in advance.

Total of the individual files, Itch has no way of knowing that 20 files are actually a single game, so it doesn't make that distinction.

Also, that counter is for each time someone clicks to start the download. So, if someone clicks twice and cancels one, you'll see two downloads on your dashboard.

In the "Analytics" section below the graphs, you have an individual counter for each file.

Ah ok - that's a nice bit of clarification, thank you 😊
