I can't find my game in the search.

The problem is that I can't find my game in the search. By full name. It doesn't show up in any way. I read an article about why a game might not be visible. Everything that's described and what could be - doesn't seem to apply to me. I'd like to at least get feedback on what's wrong with it? There's only one game in the profile, but if needed, I can attach links. https://itch.io/jam/sibgamejam-nov-2025/rate/4013550

You missed this part of the Search&Browse FAQ:

If you're selling your first project, then your page may be placed in our review queue. New sellers are reviewed before their projects are elgible[sic] for indexing. This proces[sic] may take a few days. Please contact us only after you've waited at least one day.

Keep in mind that itch.io staff doesn't work on weekends, as explained in countless topics, so this will take at least until Monday. Hope this helps.

Hello, Monday has already arrived, but the game is still not showing up in the search. What can be done to correct this situation? I want people to notice my game.

...As explained in the unofficial FAQ pinned at the top of this category, you need to promote the game yourself, for example in Release Announcements but mostly outside itch.io.

Also, as explained in the rules of this category, if indexing takes much longer you can contact support and post your ticket ID here.
