The demo has allowed our small studio to get waves and waves of feedback from players, so if you have played and given us your honest thoughts thank you! We have heard your complaints and have tried to ignore it for too long. No one likes with cute and cozy art styles anymore.

To make SURE that the Gamers know we are making a Real Product, Gemporium install size will also grow by 200gb.
