Adding some examples and a page quote, standardizing minor page formatting, rewriting the description to be less derivative of the game's Opening Monologue, and fixing various problems. The latter includes adding context to or commenting out ZCEs, fixing improper indentation, and removing misused tropes. For space reasons, I'm putting my explanations for the latter on the discussion page.

Ocean City was once a tranquil seaside town until it caught the eye of the ruthless business mogul Frank Bigalow.
