Enricks was a website made using the web-hosting service Angelfire by game developer Paul Hubans.[1] The website was mostly written in Thai and was about a fictional disease named Enricks, which affected glandular tissue in the human body.
History
[edit]It is unknown when the website was created, however it could have been created as early as 2011. The website consisted of three tabs. The first, titled "Home", was mostly written in Thai, and had a picture of a doctor, who was later identified as Dr. Mali Palanuwech, a dentist in Thailand.[2] The website talked about a fictional disease named Enricks, which is caused by Gomex syndrome, another fictional disease, which formed from mutations in glandular tissue. Repeatedly clicking on the picture of doctor would corrupt the picture and text until a picture of a smiley appeared and corrupted text that thanked you for visiting the website.
The second tab, titled "Enricks", contained an image of a blue key, with corrupted text to the left. On the bottom of the page, there was a hyperlink that read "bypass login". Clicking on the link, would lead you to a page with corrupted text that said "The dream is ending Tyler" with a video called "Persephone Numbers Station". The video repeated a string of numbers which when translated into ASCII code read "evident agenda". The video was from a ARG called "The Lost Experience" which was created for the show Lost.[3] It is unknown why this video was added to the website, with some have speculated that the website was part of the Lost Experience ARG.[4]
The third tab, titled "Contact", contained text in Thai that when translated, was a bunch of nonsensical sentences about internet browsers. To the right, there was a hyperlink that read "Contact Administrator". Clicking on the hyperlink would take you back to the home page. Sometime in 2018, Angelfire, the website's host, took the website down for unknown reasons.
Creator
[edit]On June 24, 2018, game developer and artist Paul Hubans made a tweet saying that he created the Enricks website to scare his friend.[5]
