Coral Island thoughts, part 2

First of all, I've nominated Coral Island for Yuletide (my other nominations are I Want to Be a Wall, Fatal Frame III, and Starman (TV)). I'm nominating Noah, Aaliyah, Betty, and Worldbuilding.

I'm progressing through the game, though sometimes it gets to be a slog and I go off and play Power Wash Simulator. I've just hit town rank B, which gives me access to the mid-game items that will hold me over until I can hit town rank A.
