This is Ojai as a text adventure. It uses the same real, named places as the 3D version, and every building is described the way you'd find it inside. It works with any screen reader and keyboard, and you don't need graphics.
Type a command and press Enter, or use the buttons. Try look, north, go to and a place name, enter, menu, order 1, sit, talk, leave or help.
283 named places from the real map are in this walk. Here is what each kind is like when you step through the door, with real examples you can visit:
Shelves of goods run in rows toward the back, there's a display table near the door, and a register counter sits beside the entrance.
For example: Brenton's, Pixie's General Store, Les Hinks Automotive, The Mob Shop.
Tables with paired chairs fill the room, and high-backed booths run down one wall. A chalkboard menu hangs over the kitchen counter at the back, where a server stands ready. Posters brighten the side wall.
For example: Ojai Tortilla House, Jim & Rob's Fresh Grill, Rory's Place, Magic Hour.
A front office greets you. Down the corridor, classrooms have rows of small desks all facing a whiteboard, with the teacher's desk in the corner.
For example: Ojai Valley Christian School, Saint Thomas Aquinas School, ARC Enrichment Center, Ojai Unified School District.
Rows of pews split by a centre aisle lead to an altar at the front, with a plant standing on either side. It's calm and still.
For example: First Church of Christ Scientist, Wesleyan Church of Ojai Valley, Administration Office, Ojai Presbyterian Church.
A waiting room with chairs and a coffee table faces the reception desk. Down the hall, exam rooms each have a bed, a small desk and a chair.
For example: Balance Health Center, Sequoia Chiropractic, Ojai Village Veterinary Hospital, Ojai Dental Studio.
The lobby has a long front desk with a brass bell and a wall of key-card slots behind it. There's a red rug with a sofa and armchairs, tall potted plants, a brass luggage cart and two elevator doors. A chandelier glitters overhead. Past the lobby, a corridor leads to guest rooms, each with a bed, nightstands and lamps, a TV on the dresser and a window.
For example: Hotel El Roblar, The Lavender Inn, Ojai Wellness at Lavender Inn, Emerald Iguana Inn.
Long shelf aisles run the length of the store, stocked with colourful goods. A glowing cooler wall lines the back, and checkout lanes wait near the front.
For example: Joe's Quick Stop Mini Mart, Ojai Farmers' Market, Westridge Midtown Market IGA, Ojai Liquor.
Desks with chairs, a bookcase of files and a few plants. It's quiet apart from keyboards.
For example: Wells Fargo, Ojai Valley Real Estate, The Center for The Work, Special Education Office.
The espresso machine hisses behind a wooden counter, next to a grinder and a glass case of pastries. A chalkboard lists the drinks. Small round tables fill the room, and a sofa corner with a rug, a lamp and a bookcase sits by the window. Warm bulbs hang low over everything.
For example: NoSo Social Cafe, Beacon Coffee Company, Ojai Coffee Roasting Co., Ojai Cafe Emporium.
Exercise mats, barbells and punching bags fill the floor. Dumbbells sit on a rack, and the front desk is by the door.
For example: Peak Power Yoga & Wellness, Fitness, Ojai Pilates & Fitness, Breathe Ojai {Yoga Studio and Community Hall}.
A service counter faces a row of waiting chairs, and a flag stands in the corner. Offices open off a corridor.
For example: Ojai Post Office, Ojai City Hall, Ojai Police, Boyd Center.
It's dim and warm. A long wooden bar runs down one side with stools and a row of beer taps, and backlit shelves of bottles glow amber behind it. Neon strips glow on the back wall, a game plays on a TV, and there's a pool table with the balls racked. Booths fill the other wall.
For example: Condor Bar, The Blend Superfood Bar, Topa Topa Brewing Co., Zaidee's Bar & Grill.
It's dark, loud and lit in neon. Rows of cabinets flash and chirp along both walls, a pink claw machine full of plush toys sits in the middle, the air-hockey table clacks, and the prize counter trades tokens for tickets.
For example: Arcade Hair Co, Ojai Arcade Plaza, Arcade Lawn, Ojai Arcade.
Styling chairs line one wall in front of mirrors, waiting chairs sit opposite, and the front counter is by the door.
For example: Soule Salon, Halos Salon & Beauty Retail, Rockafella Barber Shop and Shave Parlor, Hair-Em Beauty Salon.
Tall orange shelving racks rise almost to the ceiling, stacked with boxes and bags. A pegboard wall is covered in tools, paint cans are stacked in a corner, and a pile of lumber smells of fresh-cut pine.
For example: Husted Plumbers Ojai CA, Ojai True Value Hardware, Meiners Oaks ACE Hardware.
White aisles of boxes in blue, red and green run toward a pharmacy counter at the back under a big PHARMACY sign. Shelves of prescriptions sit behind the counter, and a blood-pressure chair waits near the front.
For example: Ojai Village Pharmacy, Good Neighbor Pharmacy, Medical Arts Pharmacy.
The floor is a black-and-white checkerboard. A blue counter holds the tubs, red stools line up in front of it, a freezer hums, and an arcade cabinet and a pinball machine blink in the corner.
For example: Ojai Ice Cream, Sanders & Sons Gelato, Bliss Frozen Yogurt.
Rails of hanging clothes fill the floor, folded shirts line the wall shelves, and two mannequins stand near the door. Fitting rooms with curtains run along one side next to a tall mirror.
For example: Barbara Bowman Boutique, Skyflower Boutique.
White display tables hold laptops and phones with glowing screens. A whole wall of TVs plays bright colours, and headphones hang in rows on one side. A service counter is by the door.
For example: Omega Cellular, Ojai Valley Electronics & Hobby.
Rows of bookcases run across the room, and reading tables with chairs sit along the front. The checkout desk is by the door, and a plant stands in the corner. It's quiet.
For example: Ojai Library, Little Free Library.
A raised stage framed by a proscenium arch has closed red velvet curtains and footlights glowing along its edge. Rows of seats face it.
For example: Ojai Playhouse, Ojai Art Center Theater.
A long teller counter runs across the back, a row of waiting chairs sits by the door, and banker's desks with chairs are spread across the floor.
For example: Bank of America, Bank of the Sierra.
Pedestals with artefacts stand in a grid across the gallery, with benches for resting and an information desk by the door.
For example: Ojai Valley Historical Museum.
A bright counter runs across the back with three registers, and lit menu screens hang above it. Behind the counter you can hear the fryers hiss and the grill sizzle. Two touch-screen kiosks stand near the door, a soda fountain hums along the right wall, and booths line the left wall, with small two-seat tables in the middle.
For example: Yume Japanese Burger Cafe.
Glass display cases glitter with gems under bright lights, more cases line the walls, and the register is at the back.
For example: Gem Quest Jewelers.
It smells of wood smoke and baking dough. A brick dome oven glows orange at the back with a stack of split logs beside it. Pies sit under glass on the counter, a chalkboard menu hangs on the brick wall, and the tables have red-and-white checked cloths with shakers of chili flakes and parmesan.
For example: Ojai Pizza Company.
Fluorescent lights hum over narrow aisles packed floor to ceiling with snacks and drinks. Glass-door coolers glow along the back wall. By the register, hot dogs turn on a roller grill under a heat lamp, the slushie machine churns red and blue, and the coffee station smells burnt in the best way.
For example: Shell.
Rows of white front-loading washers line both walls, their round glass doors like portholes. Stacked dryers tumble at the back. A long folding table in the middle has warm clothes on it, a row of plastic chairs waits, and a change machine blinks by the door.
For example: Coin house laundry.
