This is Santa Paula 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.
410 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: Styles Unisex by Maggie, Anna's Cider, Santa Paula Family Store, Encore Dance Studio.
Desks with chairs, a bookcase of files and a few plants. It's quiet apart from keyboards.
For example: Arana's Insurance Services, Century 21, Phoenix Civil Engineering, Athens Services.
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: Gunsmoke BBQ & Beer, El Capricho Restaurant, Avenue X Restaurant, Rabalais' Bistro.
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 Christian Church, First Church of Christ Scientist, St. Sebastian Catholic Church, Chapel of Praise Church of God.
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: Santa Paula Behavioral Health Department, Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Santa Paula Orthodontics, Santa Paula Dental Group.
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: Santa Paula Super Store, Ventura County Market, El Brillante Market, La Famosa Meat Market.
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: Santa Paula High School, Catalyst Community Preschool, Saint Sebastian School, John Jenkins Christian Academy.
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: Gather And Play Cafe, Alebrijes Juice Bar, Panaderia La Paloma, La Tapatia Bakery #2.
Styling chairs line one wall in front of mirrors, waiting chairs sit opposite, and the front counter is by the door.
For example: Gentlemen's On Main Barbershop, Maines Salon, Melissa Beauty Salon, Velazquez Hair Salon.
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: Carl's Jr., Jack in the Box, KFC, McDonald's.
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: C H & I Technologies, Sinclair, Chevron, 76.
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: Pizza Man Dan's, Tuscany Pizzeria, Domino's Pizza, Ameci Pizza.
A service counter faces a row of waiting chairs, and a flag stands in the corner. Offices open off a corridor.
For example: Santa Paula Post Office, Union Oil Company Building, Santa Paula FD Station 81, Santa Paula City Hall.
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: Lokee's Infamous Clothing, E And D Boutique, Upstairs Fashion Loft, Lita's Clothing.
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, Union Bank, Bank Of The Sierra, U.S. Bank.
Pedestals with artefacts stand in a grid across the gallery, with benches for resting and an information desk by the door.
For example: Agriculture Museum, Santa Paula Art Museum, California Oil Museum, Aviation Museum of Santa Paula.
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: Santa Paula Inn, GLS Aesthetics & Suites Santa Paula, Ocean Gateway Inn.
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: Metro by T-Mobile, T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless.
Exercise mats, barbells and punching bags fill the floor. Dumbbells sit on a rack, and the front desk is by the door.
For example: Yoga Casita, Fit N' Fine Fitness, Planet Fitness.
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: Frank's Paint & Hardware, Ace Hardware.
The small office has a counter with a bell and a coffee pot, and a red VACANCY sign glows in the window. There's a rack of colourful tourist brochures, a humming vending machine and an ice machine. Down the row, each room has a bed, a TV on a dresser and a rattling wall air-conditioner.
For example: Harvard Motel, Santa Paula Motel.
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: Main Street Coin Laundry, Laundryland.
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: Palm Pharmacy, CVS Pharmacy.
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: Blanchard Community Library.
The lobby is huge and bright, with cream stone columns and a round fountain splashing in the middle. Palms grow in big pots. There are white sofas, a reception desk and a pool bar with stools. The guest rooms have king beds, a lounge chair, a fruit bowl and a window full of ocean blue.
For example: Asian Spa & Massage.
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: The Hangar Bar and Grille.
