Open →What Is Abyssal Lapidary?
Abyssal Lapidary is a gothic management sim set in a Victorian-inspired underground metropolis. The official Steam description puts it plainly: appraise raw ores, cut exquisite gems, and craft unique jewelry for strange clients. Some stones are worth a fortune. Others stare back.
You play a lapidary reviving the Vermilion House, a once-celebrated family of stone artisans. Each mineral possesses distinct properties that affect the crafting process, so every commission is a small puzzle of precision and artistry — and beneath the soil lies a web of secrets waiting to be unearthed.
The full game has no announced release date. Everything playable today is the free Steam demo, and this wiki's guides are built on the demo build. Facts that are not confirmed in official materials are labeled unconfirmed wherever they appear.
