Coral Island has followed in farming and life sims footsteps by creating a large community with ample activities for players to do. Not only can players work on their farm and meet new people, but players can explore various types of mines, clean up the ocean floor, and develop a romance out of the 25 characters to pick from. The community of Coral Island is vast, with over 50 characters to befriend, so it can be tricky to figure out who players want to connect with.

Since it's early access release, there have been some strong opinions on who is the best romance option for players' first adventure through the story, and Eva is one of them. Eva is a baker that works at Sam's General Store and is friends with a large portion of the community. Players who want a cheerful and bright personality might want to check her out. She's both adventurous and extremely crafty as she sews most of her clothes and loves to bake.

Gift Guide

For those wanting to start their relationship with Eva, picking the right gifts to get her is vital. Gifting any player an item they don't like or love can lead to a daunting relationship as it'll take more time to befriend and romance them. Players can give characters 2 gifts a week, as well as an additional gift on their birthday. Eva's birthday is Summer day 13, so make sure to save a very special gift for that day as it'll boost the relationship even more.
