Game not indexed after more than 40+ days

Hello,

I’m reaching out regarding our game "Bewitched".

We published the game on April 2nd after we meticulously read the docs and followed every steps but it still does not appear to be indexed or visible on the platform. As a result, it is difficult for users to find it through search or browsing.

Could you please check if there is any issue with the listing or if additional steps are required on our end to make the game properly indexed? Or is it possible to request a manual indexing?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

Exquisite Studio

Hiya,

Adult games that accept money--even optional donations--aren't viable for indexing right now. You can read more on indexing NSFW content here:

Hi,

Thank you for the answer! :)

In that case, if I switch the game to “donations disabled” mode, will it be listed quickly? Or do I have to do some extra steps?

Thanks

I see it in the search now so it looks like it was indexed pretty quickly after!

Yeah! Thank you for you help!

Do you have any idea of how can I make it appear at the beginning of the search tag? I mean the game as been indexed just now but went out a 2 month earlier so its pretty down in the research :/

Not sure on the specifics of what algorithms they use to determine that, which are probably purposely obfuscated to keep people from gaming the system. I have to imagine games that get the most traction like views/downloads/rating, etc. go higher up in the search rankings. So I would just try to spread the word through other channels and see if people organically find it too and help it along!

Alright, thanks a lot for your help!
