I accidentally clicked on a suspicious link that was shared in my Twitch chat when I was trying to grab the URL. I quickly checked it on URLScanner and noticed it had options to download files and request access to various things, which freaked me out since I'm not very tech-savvy and don't have any sandbox tools to check it properly. Can anyone help me by opening this link in a secure sandbox and letting me know if it's a real threat? The link is birdhuntersequels.pages.dev.

I found a report on VirusTotal that shows potential issues with that link. If you have Windows, why not use the Windows Sandbox? Just open it with Edge in there—what happens in the sandbox won't affect your actual system. I’d be cautious though, sounds a bit sketchy.
I opened the link in a sandbox, and it didn’t do anything until I clicked 'start' on the so-called 'game.' If you accidentally clicked it and heard audio, it’s possible you might be compromised. It’s better to assume something could have happened and take precautions just in case. When I clicked start, I just got a bunch of pop-ups making fun of me, but it's hard to tell what someone might do with these links.
I'd definitely stay away from that link! It's best to let someone with the right tools check it out. Those types of links can lead to trouble if you're not careful.
