Set against a backdrop of 90s techno-optimism, FACEMINER is an experimental, narrative-driven management sim that tasks the player with building a planetary scale biometric processing empire from scratch. All from within a suite of vintage software.

WORKLOAD
Manage data-streams, software upgrades, and hardware extensions as you rapidly expand your plant’s infrastructure. Ensure profits remain high and avoid bankruptcy (or worse) as you navigate oppressive electricity bills, high-maintenance cooling systems, and crooked politically-enforced carbon offsetting schemes.
CORPORATE CULTURE
Mining alone is no fun! Learn more about your fellow miners and keep up to date with the office gossip through internal email. Sift through messages to unravel the mysteries – and ultimate plans – of the shadowy creators of the FACEMINER software suite.GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Climb the corporate ladder and gradually rise through the ranks as you are promoted from manual data-filtering rookie through to the ultimate harvesting automator as you classify and sell facial data at ever-increasing speeds. The world of data brokering is ruthless, and poor prioritisation can lead to costly mistakes down the line. Do you have what it takes to climb the ranks and become the ultimate FACEMINER?Remember: Every Face Has Value.
A small bucket of patches.
Advanced 'double click purchase' technology now works for everything, not just datasets.
Made the 'cannot buy' messages for software in the marketplace a little bit clearer (ie, tells you in advance if you don't have enough storage or memory, before you try and click buy).
Fixes for the 'close call' and 'big spender' achievements.
Improvements to impact prediction reliability.
Potential fixes for some Linux edge cases.
Fix bug/soft infinite loop that would happen if there was more than one fatal error happening at a time. Surprised this one didn't cause more problems! Maybe you're all too good.
And, before I forget, I should mention the game now has a Speedrun page! Just in case anybody has the urge to get something on there. That #1 spot is very much up for grabs.
