Game not indexed after almost a week despite of hundreds of downloads, many payments, and positive reviews

Hello, I have recently published this game
Anna's New Job by Ero Chat Dev

The fact that it is still not indexed after so long worries me.

I have read and followed the steps outlined in this topic
Game quarantined? Search or indexing problem? Read this! - Questions & Support - itch.io

The game has been set to public, and all settings are correctly set.

I have decorated my game page, added all necessary info, cover image, screenshots, and metadata. I have even promoted the game through various channels to generate downloads.

As of this moment, the game has hundreds of downloads.
It also has many payments (optional: project is free to play) and positive reviews.

I have seen projects that were released after me get indexed for days.
Has My game been internally flagged due to some reason? or is it caused by some bug in the system?

I have also created a sale bundle for new customers to buy my old game's premium version with it. Can I extend the sale by the days needed for the game to get indexed or will that lead to my account being flagged for being always on sale?

This is not my first paid (With Free Downloads) project on Itch.io so the second time should be quicker right?

I request the moderators to kindly look into my issue as I depend on the revenue generated from my games.

It's been five days. As explained repeatedly in that topic, that's not unusual. Doubly so as it's been the holidays.

I'm in the same situation. My games are more than month on moderation. I have sent 2 emails to the support - no any answers. Sad...

Closing this thread so people don’t pile on. Original poster’s issue is solved. Please make sure to read the sticky’d thread for more information about indexing.

Thanks
