Howling Dogs is an interactive fiction made in TWINE by Porpentine. Trapped in a small area with limited supplies, the player can temporarily visit other worlds through some sort of virtual reality visor.

Continuing my haphazard tour through whatever games featured in 50 Years of Text Games that piqued my interest with Howling Dogs, a surreal piece of Twine-based IF about being trapped in a prison of sorts and diving into virtual worlds as your sole escape (only the women you become in those virtual worlds aren't any freer than you are). At times mundane and repetitive, and at others grotesque, or tragic, or beautiful.
