I completely missed that there was nothing to download.

To OP: yes, you are doing something wrong.  You are publishing a game page with no content.  What kind of reaction are you expecting from hypothetical viewers of this page?  There's nothing there to play.  There's not even enough of a description to get excited about.  You have one chance to make a good first impression, and you're blowing it.  Itch is doing you favor by not indexing your page.

Sorry I am very new to itch so I don't know the rules here yet. My intention was to advertise the game like a lot of game studio was doing pre-releasing; post dev log or gameplay clips on youtube before the game is actually out. At first I didn't publish anything I just posted some devlogs on the community but I didn't get any views so I thought I should made a publish. Do you suggest I take the page down then? I really didn't know where else do you suggest to promote a game though, I have tried Twitter, Reddit, Instagram already.

I don't think anybody is going to care one way or another about your game until at least a gameplay video and a downloadable demo.  My advice is to focus on actually finishing the game first and worry about marketing later.
