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.

2.1.0 Mini Update
Hello!
A mix of minor bugfixes & features here, mostly related to the recent Endless Expanded mode and VR functionality. Thank you to all who suggested these.
[u]Endless Mode:[/u]
Cameras can now be purchased in bulk, to save you some clicking. Buy them in batches of 1, 10, or 100.
Custom harvesting sell intervals: you can now pick how often to sell harvested data in the Surveillance manager.
Nuclear Reactors now show up in the 3D visualiser
$ figures in the hardware monitor and marketplace now show their full formatted value on hover, to make it a little easier to read those very big numbers.
Small tweaks to dark mode to make it more legible.
[u]VR:[/u]
Passthrough is now available! You can enable it in the settings menu, if you have a compatible headset.
You can now customise the tilt angle of the controller in the settings menu
[u]Bugfixes:[/u]
Fix bug where pausing would allow the player skip the purchase cooldown in the marketplace \\[potential speedrun exploit!]
Fix edges of the taskbar being cut off when FX disabled
Fix bug where downgrading very high level cameras would not be reflected in the surveillance hub camera count
[u]Other tweaks:[/u]
Added option to disable the Steam overlay in the settings menu. This is a temporary workaround for an issue where the overlay implementation of the library I am using to interact with Steam can cause multiple game tabs to spawn on certain Windows 11 machines.
Per request: made it impossible to delete unused cluster code messages.
Made it less likely for the same face to appear in sequential draws when manually processing.
As always, thank you for playing.
