It occurred after I edited my "short description" area.

And was it indexed before? Either way, please double-check the Search & Browse FAQ.

Yes. It occurred immediately afterwards.

I saw it in real-time too, since I had 2 separate browser tabs open(a browse search for "Yugioh" and my "edit game" section).

Have mercy. Can at least one mod please index it...

It was the weekend. Our staff likely didn't get to it. I can give it a bump if it takes much longer.

Still not showing... help!!

I said if it takes much longer. Please give staff a chance to catch up first.

Still not showing. I need a hero...

Use your holy bump special. Quickly, Batman!

You posted again after less than a day. Please give staff a chance to do their jobs first!

It's been 5 days. I suspect my game was un-indexed in a manner that evaded the staff's queue, implying my conundrum was caused by a glitch or error(compared to quarantined games or rule breakers, which I assume is more typical). In theory, my game will be indefinitely not indexed, unless something is done.

I'm begging you..! I've been so sad about this!

Your game is still marked as needing review. It might have something to do with the fact that it has an external link for a download, I'm not sure. Please promote your game through other means in the mean time, and don't rely exclusively on itch.io for that.
