It's a real shame, the stories are interesting, but the parts that cost gems are so expensive that you burn through them alarmingly fast. You get pitiful amounts for free, and because you spend so much on one picture or choice, there's no way I'm paying real money for them only to have them be used up in 5 minutes. I'd honestly consider buying some if I knew they'd last but as it stands its not worth it, and I lost all desire to play more of the game. Shame.
