FACEMINER is looking for willing test subjects to participate in a complimentary TRIAL PERIOD for the game. After months of heads-down development, we are getting ready to unleash a FACEMINER demo upon the world. One problem: we don't know how well the game works yet. Not just in a "is this fun/interesting" way, but in a "does this crash on the x64 version of the Windows 7", way, too. This is where you can come in. [previewyoutube=ntnYoBBsq14;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] Interested? Sign up to our Discord, and fill out the form in 'demo-beta-test'. Open to Windows, OSX and Linux users. We look forward to onboarding you.

Welcome to FACEMINER, where Every Face Has Value. Your job? Harvest biometric data, optimise computational infrastructure, and expand your data processing empire as hard as Planet Earth can take it.

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.
