Crypt Dungeon Crawler not in search after a day, question about link-out pages

I've read the Getting Indexed guide and the pinned search and indexing FAQ, and I still have a question.

My project: https://cogg-games.itch.io/crypt-dungeon-crawler

It's been about a day and it doesn't appear in search, even by full title. I believe it should be eligible: it's Public, not in Draft, not set to "Unlisted in search & browse" or "Disable new downloads & purchases," and it has a cover, a full description, tags, and a genre.

The thing I want to be upfront about: the game runs on my own website, so this is a link-out page with no uploaded files (it needs a login and backend that won't work in an itch embed). My question is whether a link-out page with no files can be indexed at all. If yes, could a moderator review it? If no, I'd appreciate knowing directly so I stop waiting. Thank you.

…Did you see the part where it says not to ask until it’s been at least one day, preferably several?

Edit: note that a day ago was in the middle of the weekend, which delays things even more.

Thanks, and sorry for jumping the gun, I'll let it sit for several days as you suggest. One question separate from timing, whenever you have a moment: is a link-out page with no uploaded files eligible to be indexed at all? If that type of page can't be, I'd rather know now and stop waiting.

Appreciate the help either way.

Hi - Any update on this?
Thanks
