Game not showing up in Search unless logged in?

Hey all.

My 1st game (released 2 weeks back) doesn't show up in Search, by full title, by developer name, or by tags. Unless I'm logged in, it only shows up then, which I found strange.

Is this because as my first game, it's still being reviewed (or in review queue) before showing up? Can it be still after such long time.

I have it set as Public. And I have the 'Unlist in Seach' etc. option unchecked.


Thanks beforehand!!

Your game is marked as NSFW.

To elaborate a bit on this, if a project is marked as NSFW, then it won’t be shown to guest users. When being logged in, a user has to allow NSFW games to see them while searching around the site.

A ha. Thank you. Is this because the game contains blood and mild gore?

Its very minimal but I tagged it anyway. Good to know.

Can this be changed (to non-NSFW) since its probably unnecessary? It by far doesn't fit in among any NSFW games listed in Search, now that I checked...

EDIT: I unchecked in Metadata under Audience and Content 'Has sensitive content'. Should this do the trick?

It did. And I agree that the NSFW checkmark is used for something else on itch.io usually. But you can add content warnings to the game description instead.
