EnWorld dives into Eem!
Sure, they can eat a Mr. Iron Rations bar, but a well cooked meal allows for more roleplaying and buffs coming out of the camping scenes. These aspects reflect games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing while also driving play. Yes, there are some players who only think of gold, but tell a player hooked on the crafting aspect of play that there’s a rare ingredient in a dangerous location and they’ll head out to find it.
My kids are really into Animal Crossing, they are always stoked to show me a spider crab or whatever they found. I tried playing Stardew Valley, but it isn't clicking for me. Similarly, my 6 year old picked up Land of Eem books and was super into it. This is the first time an RPG thing really resonated with him. So like if he likes it.
