It also failed for me in Chrome but worked fine in Safari.
I think the instructions at the start about the marker and the headphones add a lot to the experience.

Having a bit of experience with Porpentine's other work I feel like I need to ask, how viscerally horrifying is this one?

It's deliciously icky.

I think more viscerally horrifying than the one where you had to sit in the chair and see visions, but less than the one where the spaceship takes liberties with you.

Trigger warning: "violence, drugs, child abuse, reference to self harm"
That said, I really enjoyed this. It's worth it to draw the glyphs on your skin.

Well that was quite nice! In Linux, on Chromium 25.0.1364.160, I got errors when it tried to play sound, but I was able to figure out the URL and play it in another browser, e.g.:
http://aliendovecote.com/uploads/twine/empress/friend.mp3
(Otherwise the links and transitions appeared to work properly.)

I'm on my phone right now, so I'll have to check this out on my computer later. Howling Dogs made me fall in love with Porpentine. I wanna have, like, 10,000 of her babies.

This had me going around and around in circles and ending up nowhere. I must be doing it wrong.

Kinnakeet, did you try sleeping? Passage of time matters.

Worked in Firefox though. Pretty darn Porpentiney! Good stuff. Weird stuff.
