I published my first paid game on itch around 4 days ago and it still can’t be found without a direct link. I’ve heard it takes 12- 24 hours so I’m wondering if something is wrong??

The game is Dungeon Escape (Playdate)

As explained in many, many topics by now, 1) the weekend delays reviews and 2) these days it takes longer anyway due to numerous fraud attempts. And that's not taking into account what the Search & Browse FAQ already explains. Please read it, like the rules of this category say.
