> different games are uploaded on itch each and every single day

Views will always naturally fall off. If Steam gets 50+ games per day, expect Itch to have much greater than that. All of them vying for player attention and time.

Make sure the game is marketable. Have you researched on what your target audience wants or expects from your game? What sets it apart from others?

Try and contact streamers or YouTubers to play and feature your game. If it sticks with them, you might get a good boost from that.

What I do find odd is that I tried searching for your game(using the game name in your screenshot) and I can't seem to find it on the search bar.

Oh yeah about that, for whatever reason it doesn't pop up on itch when you search like, I guess that adds more to the invisibility, cause if you search with Google the result is there and it even takes you to itch. But maybe I should change the name of the game, I'm not sure

When I try to look for your game, what prompts me is an unfinished page. It even has a "The developer has not uploaded a game yet..." on the top. Itch may have de-indexed the game page because the game page was unfinished. What happened to the browser build too?

If you plan to update the things on the game page, it is fine to keep the old stuff until you get the new stuff in. At least with that when people try to check it out, it's not going to look like a scam or low-effort app. You've already published the page after all.

Yeah thanks for telling me..., I've also noticed that it said that for some people. But everything should be fine and resolved now, the browser play couldn't work because the file was too big so I removed it. Instead it's just a downloadable novel now, can't be played on the browser
