The admin said in a post that when a game is reviewed and manually re-indexed, they "refresh" the page so that it appears in the most recent entries. However, I don't know the exact details of how it works in these cases.

The issue is that the game isn't 62 days old, it was actually released on April 5th. You can even see the update I made 16 days ago, shortly after the launch.
I created the draft page 2 months ago just to prepare the layout, and it seems Itch used that creation date for the "Most Recent" indexing instead of the actual publication date. That’s why I never saw it in the recent lists during the last 3 weeks, it was buried 2 months deep from the very first second it went live.
So I don't think the game was "refreshed" when indexed...
It’s frustrating because I basically missed the entire launch visibility due to this date mismatch. At least now I know why it was "invisible" to me.
