Version 1.0 of the FACEMINER demo is now released! The 'beta' disclaimer has been left in the dust and we have our first full version number to prove it. There has been no better time to try out the demo. With this update comes some pretty big changes -- primarily around the BALANCE of the self-contained demo experience. To those who played the demo before and were left defeated by its unforgiving nature, we urge you to try again. The days of runs that go on for hours is over; you will lose faster, the game will (auto)save more often, and if you do win, it'll happen in around half the time. The result amounts to what is hopefully a nimbler experience for all. It may even approach being 'enjoyable' in places for some users (unconfirmed). What else is new? - A massively overhauled message-reading voice! This was the most requested improvement by far. Thanks again to Madwreck with the help on nailing these. - Removed emissions from the demo and simplified the surveillance feature a little these will both come into their own more in the full game, but for now we're nerfing them - VFX can now be disabled through the menu - Many small tweaks to the visuals and narrative/emails; little polishes to make your mining experience better. - Many small bugfixes, too numerous and tedious to mention Thank you for reading, and Happy Mining.

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.
