itch.io

Hello everyone.

I encountered an indexing problem on itch.io and before writing here, I read the official guide "Getting indexed on Search & Browse" (https://itch.io/docs/creators/getting-indexed). It seems that I did everything right, but the game has not appeared in the search for several days, even by the exact name.

What I checked:

· The game is published (is worth Public).

· There is a cover.

· Files are downloaded (the game can be downloaded).

· Access is not limited (Disable new downloads & purchases or Unlisted in search & browse are not included).

· The name is not common, not from one word.

The guide says that the page may have been checked by the moderator. The most frequent case is for new sellers. But there are also "other automatic checks" that can delay indexing.

The problem is that I don't know how long it can last. The guide says: "If you have just published the page, please wait at least a day before contacting us." I waited, but there are no changes.

And one more thing that confuses me: there is no way to rate on the page of my game. Usually it appears almost immediately, but it just doesn't exist here. Could this be due to the fact that the page is under moderation, or is it a separate problem?

Link to the page, if someone needs to look at it with a fresh look: https://txkizxwx.itch.io/your-turn

I understand that the system works the way it does, and the moderators have a queue. But I would like to understand if I'm on the right track and whether I should just wait, or it looks like a failure, and I'd better write to support?

Thank you for any advice.

Partly, maybe, but I was fortunately not tormented by insomnia

Done, thanks for the hint!

Two weeks ago, I had only an idea. Today is a ready game. YOUR TURN.

It's a short psychological story. You are a judge. Sit in the closet. In front of you is a shotgun and a hammer. Behind the curtain are the convicts. They're talking. You decide: to execute or to pardon. The management considers every decision.

There are 14 unique monsters in the game. Each time a random set is chosen from them - you can play the game several times. Two endings. Industrial techno soundtrack. The atmosphere of an old video recording. And black humor.

I made this game alone, without a budget and a team, in one week. It's completely free.
