Hello! 1.034 is now live. Pretty tight focus for this one: Steam Cloud Saves. These are now live! To be extra safe, a backup of all of your saves is made locally in a non-synced folder each time the game is ran, so if you plan on using this feature I recommend (after updating) playing the game on the machine with the saves you care about on first to secure that local fallback. Improving late game stability on Endless Mode. I have had a few reports from players who are seeing random spikes in their electricity use while playing (in-game, thankfully not IRL), especially on either lower spec computers or on very fast AutoMode upgrade levels. I have introduced a new setting in the advanced section of the settings menu called stability mode. The tldr is that this will make calculations more stable/predictable by fixing them to the AutoMode level rather than calculating the speed dynamically, which was always a bit of a rogue approach. It is disabled by default in normal runs and existing (legacy) endless mode games, but can be toggled on at any time. Otherwise, it is now the default for all new endless mode games. Thank you for playing!

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.
