This is the silent, textless version. For example, at Moon Books you can click through to book jackets but not the book text that sometimes goes with them. Obviously we have a lot more work ahead of us. But you do have nearly 4,000 image files to wander through. Click on anything and everything. Persevere. You never know what you’ll find. Some links are broken, but most are in working order. You can go anywhere from here; you’re not stuck in the mall. If you don’t like being arrested, you can use the back key. But getting arrested is its own adventure. Just saying…

From early comments at a previous post, I need to clarify something. Shuteye Town is really really BIG. If you go in with the idea that you can get the gist in a few minutes or hours, you will miss the ginormosity of the thing. It is a place, vast and various. It has two complete subway systems, multiple TV stations, and its own Internet. You can visit every single train station, channel, and website. The mall is only the first stop. ST99 is hugeistic. You can’t navigate it in a day. Why the people who have grappled with it, lo, these many years, call it The Great White Whale. Are we clear?

UPDATE YEARS LATER: The intro above was written by a friend and colleague who is responsible for figuring out how to port Shuteye Town HTML files into the WordPress App. He has since returned to his first calling as a teacher and in his absence, we have finally created a website all its own for Shuteye Town 1999. The site’s address is “JDoe99.com”. The first thing you’ll see there is a video much like this one…

Enjoy taking a long exploration at Shuteye Town 1999.
