Walkthrough[]
The player spawns in front of a library. They find themselves in a large map full of structures to explore. The player can first enter “Brooklyn’s Bloom Library”. Outside of the library the player will find a small boombox, hovering over it the player will see the words “CoryaYo - 1955”. Inside the library, the player can find a large assortment of different-colored books in bookshelves and tables for guests. In the further right corner of the library the player can find a piggy bank and some chalk, by hovering their mouse over them it reads, “Just some chalk laying around, a piggy bank too.” On one of the tables the player will find a book called “The Sound of Waves”, on another table they will find one called “Fahrenheit 451”. Heading upstairs to the second floor of the library the player will find some more bookshelves along with some tables for visitors to sit and read at. At the first table the player will find an open book titled “To Kill a Mockingbird”.
Back outside, the player can head to the left of the library and find a shop called “Downtown Coffee House.” Outside the stop are tables with some flowers and a Coke on them. Near the entrance there is a sign written with smudged chalk supposedly reading “Happy Sunday” with a smiley face below it. Hovering over the sign a message will read “Somebody got a little lazy with writing these." Inside the shop are some tables along with some minimalist paintings on the wall. On the right there are three paintings. In the top left corner, a painting of a black and white cat can be found named “Emery”. To its right is an odd, abstract painting of a figure called “Ripped Glory”. Below the previous painting to the left is a painting of another figure titled “Any Sign of Trouble?” Near the front of the shop are two paintings, one is of an apple called “Desolate Apple” and the other is of a mug called “Vanilla Mug”. To the right, below the menu in the bartender area, the player can find a necklace. Hovering over this necklace reveals a message, “A shiny red pendant. Who's is it?"
To the left of the coffee shop the player can find a shady alley full of different graffiti and spilled garbage on the floor. They consist of a “Rogy” graffiti, CatMan, a rapper, an orange, and a DJ. Hovering over the orange graffiti, it will read “Who made this freaky looking orange?”
Back near spawn the player can head to the middle of the map by entering the gate closest to spawn. The player will find an abandoned bicycle and some doodles on the floor with the message “A doodled up game of hopscotch.” The doodles include the names Joey and Gary. The player can find mainly benches, water dispensers, and bird baths throughout this grassy area. In the middle is a large, wooden structure with lights that can protect residents from rain or sun during events.
In the winter update, a few additional details were added. Additional graffiti was added to the alleyway, and a note that reads "Stop the vandalism!! -Larry B." Hovering over the note, it says "Somebody didn't like this series..." In the coffee house is an iPod behind a flower vase with the words, "An iPod with the words 'Property of: Larry Burhan' on the back."
