Game disappeared from search! Reason?

Hi,
My game (“Till Checkout Do Us Part Demo”) suddenly stopped showing in Popular/Browse sections even though the page is still public. I didn’t change anything, so I’m really worried something went wrong. I can't see any analytics (CTR & Impressions) either. I am really worried cause it's weekend too!

Is this a temporary reindexing issue, or do I need to fix something on my end?

Thank you,
Zeal

...Please read some of the several topics on the exact same issue currently on the first page of this category.

I am sorry, but try to understand my situation. I tried reading them but I don't understand the problem and specifically for my project.
If I can get some sort of clarity about what's going on with my game I'd appreciate it. Is it anything related to traffic on page?

...No, like I explained the others too, some changes made to a project page can put it back in the review queue, as mentioned in the unofficial FAQ. The exact criteria are secret and probably complex, but it's an automated check.

I have read the unofficial FAQ. Just want to clarify, I made no updates at all. You can see on my page too it was updated 3 days ago. I just don't know what happened suddenly, so I hope you understand my position here. Thank you.

All I know is that your game has been flagged for additional review by itch.io staff. Advice is still the same: please promote your game through other means for now, and follow the usual steps if things take too long.
