“the case”

Mined from titles — no platform category yet

22 scored titles carry the phrase “the case” right now — a naming wave neither itch.io's tags nor Roblox's genres have a category for yet. Combined 7-day cross-source movement: +15.

“the case” member count, last 14 days: flat across 14 days, 22.00 to 22.00 (low 21.00, high 23.00).

Share isn't shown for mined phrases: an n-gram trend can include games from both sources, and one title can match several overlapping phrases, so there is no clean denominator to divide by. The Titles figure is an exact count of member games. Velocity is a rate of change, and movement can add both platforms' units together, so neither of those is a count.

That combines itch.io rating movement with Roblox visit movement when a phrase appears on both — read it as directional, not as one consistent unit.
