Valley of the Nile is a 2.5D graphical chat environment built entirely with DHTML and Cold Fusion. You can participate using any 4.0 or higher web browser--without downloading any kind of software or plug-in. The site is free and people interested in building their own rooms may request a web-based tool for doing so. The interface is entirely free of controls or other clutter. Visitors simply click where they want their avatar to go and type to communicate.
