I would give this game a neutral review if I could. It's just... meh. Since Steam doesn't let us give neutral reviews, I *barely* recommend this game, with a bunch of caveats. The gameplay loop is extremely simple and exactly the same every single day: mine, refine, sell. That's it. I kept waiting for Grandmole to reveal some weird conspiracy or for Pietro to do literally anything; I thought surely something cool or exciting was bound to happen, but nothing ever did. It's a fine game if you like what it offers, it just doesn't offer very much unfortunately. It's cute. It's pleasant. It's extremely predictable. It's a little bit stressful but also a little bit boring. The game punishes you for having a poor short term memory. I could never remember when the loan shark was coming, but there was no way to check the calendar during the day. You can buy a TV to find out the popular gem of the day, but then there is no way to quickly see what it was, so you just have to go all the way back to the TV and check again. The controls are also a bit awkward and not thoughtfully designed. This game feels rough around the edges with many missing features that feel like low-hanging fruit. In short, buy the game on sale, play it long enough to pay off your Grandmole's loan and get all the achievements, then that's it. Everything becomes pointless after that, and there is zero replay value. Meh.

I've never played a game where I've immediately locked in like Gemporium. It asks the bold question "Can cozy games be stressful?" and I never got an answer because I was too busy paying of Grandmole's 1 million dollar debt. Every few days the loan sharks need to be repaid and time is always ticking and never on your side. But the time sensitivity and the increasing loan repayment goals kept me engaged with the game. Every in game day I had to decide how much time I was going to spend in the mines and how much time I was willing to sacrifice keeping my store open. During the evenings I was free from the clock but had to strategize how to use funds. There were several times I had to weigh the pros and the cons for buying (or saving) for certain upgrades versus paying off my loan repayment early (and getting the bonus associated with it). There is a casual setting that extends the time between loan repayments but frankly fighting against the clock was one of the most fun and satisfying parts of this game. I only have 2 minor complaints about this game: 1. The game doesn't tell you that the collectables help you in your game. This may be by design to "surprise" the player but until I completed my first collection and got the perks I just assumed they were time sinks for completionists. A little text hint that the collectables "might" be useful for the store would help first time players in the early game. 2. If a player completely repays their latest payment early, they shouldn't have to pay an additional amount on debt collector days. I would often repay my latest instalment early and then the game would still require me to hand over a few extra thousand on the due date (Example: I repay the full amount of 90k early but the game still automatically requires I have 15k in my inventory for a "minimal payment" on debt collector days). I know all of the funds go towards the overall debt repayment but it restricted how much I could spend on upgrades in every 3 day cycle. Being freed from that minimal payment would feel more rewarding for players that complete these goals early. Overall, loved the game. It took me roughly 5 hours to complete the main game and I spent an extra 2 hours getting all of the collectables and upgrades. I wish there was some kind of post-game only because I am ravenous for more. EDIT (2025-08-21): Recent update (1.0.7) addressed pretty much all of my concerns about the game. Big thank you to the Devs for this wonderful game!!

I really enjoyed the game a lot. However. I wish there was more to do after you paid off the loan. This game has the base to build an amazing game on. Add a furniture shop after the loan is paid off, decorate the house, more levels and gems. More cool tools etc. Maybe they will do a Gemporium 2, and if they do I will be the first to buy it. But for what the game is, its a cute short game that is well made and will entertain you for a few hours. Well worth the price to me. I just wish there was more off it.

Super fun short game! All achievements only takes around 7 hours, but save for one final grindy achievement it's a fun journey. Definitely recommend picking it up! While I wait for the in-game clock to move forward so I can continue selling gems for the final achievement, I want to list out a few QoL improvements in hopes that the dev will see it. Minor spoilers below: 1. When selling, it's no fun having to scroll all the way down to alexandrite, then back up to amethyst, and then back down again to alexandrite when you have hundreds of gems. This also eats a lot at the limited time you have. I think selling gems should be reworked. Instead of a massive scrolling inventory, all your gems should be stacked into piles that are visible on the screen together. This way, you can build a muscle memory of where each gem type is located and very quickly sell what you want. 2. When refining, the auto-refiner should either be moved much closer to the gem inventory (so you don't have to drag across the whole screen back and forth for each gem), or just let you right click to auto-refine 3. There's a small but annoying delay after excavating a gem before you're able to actually collect it. Not sure what this is for but would love to see it removed 4. After pretty much finishing the game and just waiting on selling more gems, perhaps there could be a button to auto-skip to the selling gems portion? Waiting ~5 minutes after all upgrades isn't fun. Also consider shortening the final achievement from 1000 to 500 gems? I finished my playthrough at around 600 and now just waiting everyday to mindlessly sell whatever is at the top, dragging it back and forth. 5. Seems like the final artifact set is too rare. I wasn't able to complete it until about 4 or so days after already completing the game (all upgrades + debt paid), while only going to bottom elevator and skipping any spot that didn't have an artifact. By the time I completed it, the buff wasn't even useful, since money didn't matter. Overall these are very minor things. Love the game, had a great time, thank you!
