Imho that dev has problems in communicating to her users. Like taking a game page offline without putting up some kind of explanation. I mean, you do not pull such stunts with 9k followers. People gonna think you got deleted. See this evidence thread. But judging from the patreon and twitter, that dev is reclusive in general. I mean, who limits their number of paying patreon followers?!
But here you go:
Hello! The game is currently undergoing a maintenance for code checking and error fixing at the moment, hence why the page is down.
Oh, and that is an answer that was given only after someone complained. It is not in the patreon post, but in the comments. Yeah, yeah, she linked to tumblr and twitter. Who cares? She has 9k followers on Itch for crying out loud. They do not see her other socials. One needs to announce and communicate such things on the platform you do this. Not on unrelated socials, that only a fraction of the users might also check.
My game can only be found by link, not on the search page or the most recent game page. Is there such a thing as a review period?
here is the game link : https://oyunkontrol.itch.io/hide-and-seek-a-terrible-child-story

There is no review period, but there is a waiting queue for manual review. Not all games get manually reviewed. But those that are, get on the queue and there will be a waiting time. First time paid proejcts take longer. And sometimes the waiting time is over 30 days. Your game is not hampered by this, while you promote it elsewhere.
