Abyssal Lapidary demo launches on Steam for Next Fest
LightWorm's jewelry shop management game lets players appraise strange stones in an underground city during Steam Next Fest.
A demo of the jewelry shop management game Abyssal Lapidary is available on Steam as of October 20, 2026, developer LightWorm and publisher XD announced. The demo is part of Steam Next Fest, which began the same day.
In the game, players inherit a declining jewelry shop that serves customers in an underground city. The work loop centers on appraising rough ore, removing unwanted rock with tools and cutting facets into minerals before combining cut gems with metal parts to complete pieces of jewelry.
Some rough stones carry unusual properties, such as blood-colored wavy patterns or flowers that bloom and release pollen on the stone's surface. Continuing to appraise these stones leads players toward the gaze of a long-slumbering entity.
The demo's release was reported by news.denfaminicogamer.jp.
