Why is my game not indexed in search?

Hi. it's the first time I use itch to release my games. I released my horror game, Lost Woods 3 days ago, and find out there is no visitor traffic from itch.io. I did research and read this article: https://itch.io/docs/creators/getting-indexed
It's 3 days now, the article says "If you're selling your first page then your project may be in our review queue. New sellers are reviewed before their projects are indexed. It should show up within a day" but nothing is happen to my game until now. 
This game has been the result of several months of effort by three people, and I want our work to be seen.
Any tips? guide? thanks.

It must be checked by a moderator to ensure everything is in order. From what I’ve seen, this can take longer than a week.

Please don't lie. Your game was published one day ago. That's public information, anyone can see it. Our staff likely didn't get around to it yet.

Also: once your game is published, you don't have to wait. You can promote it through any other means, for example social media. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer
I'm not lying :)
Around 6 - 7 pm Apr 11, that's exactly when I public the game. And considering my time zone, it's 3 days until now.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if I should do something else, or I did something wrong.

Following the FAQ is usually sufficient. Please wait.
