You can try itch browse tag exclude and/or better itch search, but my advice is to look for the games you want instead. Browse by tag. Use searches. Being positive is more effective. Hope this helps.
Viewing post in Exclusion filters in search results?
Thanks, I'll try those. Most sites no longer have boolean search. I enjoy games across many genres, but I dislike specific mechanics within those genres. Exclusion filters are the most efficient search method for me.
If itch's tags allowed for more targeted search, I would find more games to play. For example, I love horror, but I have to avoid the entire genre. Games with jumpscares or entity chases are popular, and the tags are either underused or nonexistent. Reading through the comments just to find out this basic information is too time-consuming.
