Game not appearing in Search/Browse after a month (LastSignal: OutpostVega)

Hello itch.io community and moderators,

I am looking for some guidance on the indexing status of my first game. It has been a month since I published it, but it still does not appear anywhere in search results or tag browse pages.

I have thoroughly read the Getting Indexed FAQ and verified that my page meets all the criteria:

  • The visibility is strictly set to Public.
  • "Unlisted in search & browse" is unchecked.
  • "Disable new downloads" is unchecked.
  • The game is completely Free (not Name Your Price).
  • It has a clean cover image, screenshots, description, and working download files.
  • I have filled out the AI disclosure accurately (AI Assisted, Code).

I understand that first-time projects from new creator accounts go through a manual review queue to protect against spam. However, since it has been over three weeks, I am worried my page might be stuck in an automated glitch or a deep review backlog.

Here is my game link: https://signalmatrix.itch.io/lastsignal

Could a moderator please check if there is an internal flag or a safety quarantine affecting my page? I already submitted a support ticket, but I haven't heard back yet. Any help or advice from other devs who faced long queues would be highly appreciated!

Thank you!
