Can you merge the variants of the 'Hidden Object' genre? And if it qualifies for the criteria, add it as a suggested tag as well in the dropdown list?

It helps specify what type of puzzle game it is when some of them are built entirely on this mechanic. From experience, when I play Fresh/Featured/Popular puzzle games I do encounter them by chance (larger number than the tag use frequency would suggest), but they are difficult to find by search since the generic puzzle tag is used instead which is saturated.

  • hidden-object (124)
  • hidden (37)
  • hidden-objects (35)
  • hiddenobject (10)
  • hiddenobjects (3)

Combined: 209

I think that hidden-object is the correct tag, since the genre is normally known as 'Hidden Object Game' and there's also a 'Hidden Object' tag on Steam. 

Thanks in advance!

I agree with it but I think math is a bit wrong. I am almost sure you didn't check if some games are in several of these tags at the same time...

And I really surprised that it wasn't merged yet...

As a creator who makes vtt battlemaps, there really is no category for them which makes them really hard to find. You could go a step further to identify perspective: top-down, isometric etc as well. Can I atleast get battlemap and vtt as searchable/recognized tags? and ttrpg as an alias of whatever normal tabletop-rpg tag is. I appreciate the consideration. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Back!

I’d like to suggest the addition of the ‘Amare’ tag. We now have over 175+ games using it as a tag (To show that there is an audience for it) - https://itch.io/games/tag-amare 

I've also submitted a `Suggest description for this tag` as well but I have listed it below too. 

Description

"An inclusive term that describes relationship-focused Visual Novels and Interactive Fiction games that feature a wide range of diversity such as racial, religious, and LGBTQA+ as well as more."

Info

 For more information about the tag, you can read this blog post.  Thanks so much! :)

Not sure if this is still monitored, but it'd be good to have a "ROM" or "original hardware" tag that indicates that the game actually runs on a retro system, rather than just adopting its general aesthetic.

There are individual tags for several retro platforms.

And they don’t indicate that the game with the “PS1” tag, for instance, actually runs on a PS1. Hence my post.

Some of them do, but ultimately creators decide how to tag their games.

Which is why it would be nice if there was a tag they could choose to indicate that yes, their game does in fact work on original hardware.
