WATERTOWN RUSH FROM PUBLIC SQUARE TO THE SHORE

Keyboard: W/Up accelerates; S/Down brakes, then reverses. A/D or Left/Right steer. Mouse/touch: hold the gas/brake buttons and drag across the scene to steer, or use the left/right buttons. Camera toggles chase and elevated views. E/Q shifts in Manual mode. The cockpit steering wheel responds to drag input. P pauses, R returns to the Square. Releasing a pointer or leaving the window clears controls and pauses. Free roam has no clock. Square sprint is an optional three-lap time trial with sequential checkpoints; side streets remain open. WAPO Radio plays user-authorized originals with four rotating station IDs after one or two songs. Play, pause, skip and volume affect only this game.

Real street centerlines from OpenStreetMap, compressed to 72% scale and widened for arcade play. Public Square is a continuous drivable oval hub. Washington, State and Factory branch from downtown; Court Street crosses the Black River to LeRay and Main. Park access uses the northern Thompson Boulevard/Park Drive approach, Tower Entrance Drive and West Entrance Drive. I-81 includes mapped Coffeen and Arsenal interchange ramps and mall access. Public Square circulates counterclockwise only; turn around on side streets before rejoining in that direction. Other routes permit arcade exploration in both directions. Follow actual traffic laws outside the game. At map boundaries, broad turnaround pads allow a U-turn.

Buildings, vehicles, people, seasons and hill elevations are stylized original geometry, not photographic or surveyed replicas. The zoo is represented by its mapped location and an entrance landmark. The overlook faces downtown. The violet vortex is a fictional effect inspired by a local legend, not a scientific claim; its gentle pull is optional and can always be escaped or reset. Pedestrians stay on sidewalks, and traffic contact only slows the car. No people-targeting objectives.

Watertown Post neon signs are sample replaceable advertising placements; no advertisement has been sold. Military vehicles and helicopters are fictional ambient scenery, not live activity. Deer crossing hazards use non-graphic slowdown. Fire trucks and ambulances have flashing lights and distance-based stereo sirens. Optional synthesized ambience blends city traffic, farmland breeze and birds, then lake waves and gull-like calls. Radio, engine and environment are independently controlled and start only when enabled.
