Investigation Brief
The site at https://gog.squid.wtf/ presents a searchable grid of popular PC games with ratings and tags, styled as a GOG.com archive. No login, payment, or file-download controls appear in the captured page. External links point to Discord, status page, a donation link, and Privateers.Wiki. the multi-engine malware scan shows zero malicious detections; Safe Browsing is clean. Domain is over 2 years old with clean IP reputation.
What the site appears to do
The captured page displays a dark-themed grid of game covers including Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Stellaris, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and others, each with star ratings and genre tags. A search bar and header labeled 'GOG Archive' are present. Footer links include Discord, Status, Donate, and Privateers.Wiki.
Strongest evidence and limitations
the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the multi-engine malware scan reported 0 malicious detections out of 92 engines. The domain was registered in August 2023 (1077 days old) and the hosting IP shows zero abuse confidence. No credential forms, deceptive download buttons, or payment flows were observed on the page. The site lists external domains including bsky.app, discord.gg, twitter.com, status.squid-board.org, give.calibour.com, and privateers.wiki.
No direct contact email is listed on the page. The purpose of the archive (catalog only versus actual game distribution) cannot be confirmed from the captured content alone.
Practical user impact
Visitors see a visual catalog of games but encounter no immediate harmful actions such as forced redirects, popups, or download prompts. The site may function as a reference or community archive. Users should verify any linked external resources before providing information or making donations.
Why the score is 62
The saved analysis does not include enough completed checks for a Safe rating. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.
