99 Rooms is 'a unique internet art project that interweaves wall painting, photography, animation and sound in a manner unknown until now.' “What gaming fun awaits us!” I hear you cry. The truth is ‘99 Rooms’ is pretty interesting. Fun? I’ll let you decide.

Situated in vacated premises in east Berlin your aim is to simply travel through the rooms from start to finish, exploring them as you go. It is point and click control. When the cursor appears as a hand symbol, whatever you are positioned over can be interacted with. When a three arrowed symbol appears, click and move to the next room. The atmospheric ambience is involving and interesting. This along with the lack of time limit or real challenges makes it an almost serene, whilst absorbing activity.
