Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I figured people here might appreciate it.

Over the last few months I've been building a browser project called ArchiveNet. It started as me wanting to recreate the feeling of browsing the old internet—forgotten forums, abandoned websites, broken pages, weird rabbit holes... that sort of thing.

The problem is, I kept adding to it.

The more fake history, fake users, and archived pages I wrote, the stranger it started to feel. I know every page is something I made, but after spending so many late nights working on it, there are parts I genuinely don't remember creating until I stumble across them again.

It's probably just because I've been staring at the same project for months, but I figured that was a good sign to let other people see it.

I'm mainly looking for people who enjoy exploring weird internet rabbit holes. If you decide to check it out, I'd love to know:

What you discovered.
If anything felt genuinely unsettling.
Any bugs or broken pages.
Whether you found anything that made you stop and think, "What the hell is this?"

Here's the project:

I'd really appreciate honest feedback before I call it finished.

Hey,

I've been working on a browser project called ArchiveNet for a while now and it's finally at the point where I need people to actually mess around with it before I put it on itch.io.

It's basically a fake internet archive. You start off browsing what looks like old websites, forums and random pages, but the deeper you go the weirder it gets. There's hidden stuff, puzzles, pages that aren't easy to find, and a story that's mostly told through exploration instead of dumping everything on you.

Here's the link : https://github.com/Gajeee/ArchiveNet

I'm mainly looking for people who enjoy ARGs or internet mystery stuff because I want to know things like:

Did you get stuck anywhere?
Were any puzzles too confusing or too easy?
Did anything break?
At what point did you lose interest (if you did)?

I'm not really looking for people to tell me "it's good." I'd rather hear what doesn't work so I can fix it before releasing it.

If anyone's interested, I'll drop the link in the comments (or DM it if that's better with the subreddit rules).

Any feedback is appreciated.
