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.
Hello! Today, we have a little pre-release of the 1.2.0 update. 1.2.0 will be all about localization, but before its time for that, we squash a couple of bugs.
Bugfixes:
- Fix issue where the game would forget whether special effects were disabled on launch. Or, to be more specific, figured out why the game would crash on launch if it started with special effects disabled so we could enable the remembering.
- Get closer to fixing issue where uncloseable phantom windows appear for some Windows 11 users after alt-tabbing the game (or changing the window size). This is pretty much the final boss of launch bugfixes but it should now be happening for less of you.
- Very quietly add first batch of translations. Soft launch for these while the full list goes through final checks; more languages and a larger announcement coming soon.
Thank you for playing.
