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 and welcome to 1.2.1! We have a few bugfixes and a micro feature.
MICRO FEATURE:
- In Endless Mode, add an option to automatically sell harvested data every 10 seconds via the Surveillance Hub. Maybe that saves you some clicks. Thanks to 47GodlikeKittinSoldier for posting the idea on the discussion board!
BUGS:
- Made it impossible to open more than one instance of FACEMINER (as in the actual Steam Game, not the in-game-meta-software), which will hopefully help to resolve any remaining Windows 11 alt+tab issues.
- More work towards ensuring Endless Mode remains stable during longer sessions for all users. Do let me know if you are still running into issues after this update.
- Made clock position more robust across different resolutions.
Thank you for playing!
