WAYBACKED CYBERPET SITE: The Island of Twiluu

Visit by clicking this link.

This website was an absolute BITCH to hunt down evidence of it having ever existed, let me tell you. But I was able, at the very least, to eventually find record of its url to plug into the Wayback machine.

You navigate through a simple little text adventure to find pets to adopt onto your website! Click areas on the map (....on the homepage, not on this dreamwidth post) to navigate. :)

A one or two pages seem to not be archived on Wayback, though... so far most seem fine. Sometimes, though, Wayback will take you to a capture from after the website went down even if it has better captures to show you; if you can, see if there's an earlier capture on Wayback's timeline that's actually preserved. (The tiger cub page has this issue.)

In addition, you can get some "pet supplies" from the town on this page. These are purely for decorative and roleplay purposes - you can see them being used by a website that adopted from the island of Twiluu here. The objects aren't edited directly onto the pets themselves on that page, but overlaid behind or in front of the pet image.

You'll find even more pets if you brave the wilderness, of course... do you want to play in this place, with me? Dive into the bay for sea dragons. Watch a fairy.

The "forest stream" page, though, seems to be permanently lost, as its only capture is from 2023... long after Geocities as a whole shut down. In addition, there appears to have been a "castle" area that was never properly saved to wayback. The link to it, when it was functional, was the little island near the peninsula.

• "Castle Main" is archived, but the page before and after it are permanently lost.
• "Corridor 2" is archived, but the pages behind and ahead of it in sequence are permanently lost.
• "Curtain" is archived, but the page that leads to it is permanently lost. The pet that was available to adopt from it, the blue Draeleon Cat, is also not archived, although you can see an adopted one (as well as yellow and pink ones, which I don't remember how to get) here.

And if you adopt, read the rules. It's just nice to respect people's wishes, even if (regardless of how the former siterunner may be IRL) it feels like they're stone-etched the wishes of the long dead.

Let me know what you discover!
