Anonymous Animal - an hourly experience

[wris]

Someone on Mastodon showed me this a while ago.

https://anonymous-animal.neocities.org/

I think it might've actually been my first introduction to Neocities. It's a nice experience.

This is cool... there is something really satisfying about how the images morph into eachother, especially with all of them being greyscale and pencil-y
a fave transition was from like...whale? narwhal? to mammoth.

on the page it says "ask a loved one to meet you here in 22 minutes and 11 seconds"

I'm gonna try to not get distracted and come back in the allotted time, but in case I dont, what happens?

If you miss it, you just have to wait until the next hour mark.

I forgot to report back, something possess me to refresh the page with a few seconds left and when it finished refreshing the timer just started over one day I'll get it..

i've seen people mention this a few times, but i always ended up there at the wrong time and forgot to go back. finally experienced it today and wow. thank you for making a thread about it. i really recommend that everyone here experience it too. i don't want to give away too much, but i think it may be the most hopeful and kind expression of what it means to "be online" that i've ever seen.

Stumbled upon this website last night, 5 minutes before the turn of the hour :omg:k:. Quite the experience! I liked the mechanic of only activating at a certain timing, certainly adds to the "right time, right place" feel of it

Finally managed to come there at the right time.

I adore experiences like this. The feeling in them is truly palpable. Lifts your mood in weird (or maybe not weird at all actually) ways.

Thank you for sharing!

woww i got recommended this at the bottom of some other thread and im really glad i found it. im glad i stuck around to see it. im glad i saw it all the way to the end. that was really something tragic and beautiful and above all else agonizing with the need for love

i would go into it more but i feel like discussing the content at all would ruin the affect u_u
