Game not appearing in search results

Hi, it's been almost two days since I released my game "The Last Stop" and it's still not indexed.

 I read the docs about getting indexed but it didn't take that long with my first game so I'm curious if I did something wrong.

Here is the link to my game: https://0skarsavolam.itch.io/the-last-stop

I would really appreciate it if you could take a look.

Thanks in advance.

You missed the part that says it takes a few business days. And the rules of this category that tell you what to do if it takes much longer.

Hello,

I am in the same situation, and I am not sure that I understood.

Could you tell me why ? Is there a waiting time according to the categories ?

Here’s the short version: Itch uses an algorithm to evaluate projects. If it flags yours as suspicious, it de-indexes it until a human staff member reviews it.

The timeframe depends on how busy the staff is; it could range from a couple of hours to weeks, or even a couple of months in some cases. So, no one can tell you exactly how long it will take.


But in your case, it's different.

You have a game with adult content that accepts donations; currently, Itch only indexes NSFW games that do not accept any form of money.

Oh ! I see, indeed.

Thank you for your response, I could have waited a long time in that case.

I will correct this right away.

Thank you again.
