TowerChat is a UK-based 2D chat service. Public environments are divided into eight subject "towers" including Politics, Music, and Love. The avatar choices are attractive males or attractive females (but no non-human avatars). Based on this and the "singles nightclub" feel of the world, the main focus of TowerChat activity seems to be flirting with the opposite sex. This theme is reinforced by the fact that three of the eight towers are labelled "Love Chat," "Flirting Chat," and "Romantic Chat" and the rooms within each tower have names like "Penthouse," "London Boozer," "Carefree Bar," and simply "Bar."

The birds-eye perspective of the rooms is an interesting and original way to give a 3D feel to a 2D space, which is enhanced by the photorealistic avatatars and room graphics. TowerChat caters to UK teens, who are its most frequent visitors. The company has also designed a customized TowerChat application for fans of the Chelsea UK football team: http://chelsea.towerchat.com/
