itch.io

Ohhh, yes I had read this before, but I completely missed the detail about it needing to be fully free.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I need some help regarding my game’s indexing status on itch.io.

My game has been public for more than 1 week, but it is still not indexed in Search & Browse. I also contacted support, but I haven’t received a reply yet.

Here are all the details:

• Status: Public

• NSFW: Yes

• Cover image: Added

• Files: Windows .exe uploaded

• Price: Name Your Own Price (free by default)

• Page views: 13,000+

• Downloads: 331

• Followers: 195

• Payments: 1

• Exact title search: Still does not show up

• No access restrictions: “Public” and not “Unlisted”

I also had to delete and re-upload the game twice right after publishing because players found some bugs. I’m wondering if this might have caused the page to be re-queued for review or temporarily flagged.

My question is:

Is this a normal delay for indexing, or could my page be stuck in review/quarantine?
Is there anything else I should do or check?

Here is the link for reference:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback that really means a lot!

You’re absolutely right character designs aren’t finalized yet, so hearing what people enjoy helps us a ton during this phase.
We definitely want a diverse cast that reflects different tastes and identities, and your suggestions are spot on. We'll keep them in mind as we shape the remaining characters!
Thanks again for the kind words and glad to have you keeping an eye on the project!

We're aiming to release the demo later this June! Just putting the final touches to make sure it’s a smooth and fun experience. Thanks for your patience!

Our artist will be happy to hear that
