Dear Center Owners, A high volume of off-topic communications are being sent. We estimate this misuse of working hours has reduced output by 30%. We will impose sanctions for those involved should this continue. Thank you.

FACEMINER is a unique, addictive thriller clicker. It's fair for its price tag, and doesn't overstay its welcome. Because it's a relatively short, compact experience, it never reaches the point of feeling like a mindless or draining grind. It's the perfect atmospheric game to fire up on a weekend or evening to get a complete, tightly paced story. I liked the gameplay loop of upgrading my hardware, optimizing my systems, and watching everything run. It felt satisfying, and didn't feel a tedious chore. On top of that, the 1990s dystopian thriller elements and general tension are executed brilliantly. It creates a fantastic, creepy vibe that isn't too stressful for a casual playthrough. That said, while I didn't mind the darker tone, the themes are definitely worth considering if you're a more sensitive person. If you're already naturally anxious about the future, surveillance, and technology, this narrative could easily creep into those territories and make you feel a bit uncomfortable. It isn't something I personally struggle with, but I know some people do, so it's worth knowing before jumping in. It is a wonderfully executed, highly immersive little simulation that respects your time and wallet. If you want a perfectly bite-sized, atmospheric dystopian puzzle to unwind with, I highly recommend picking this one up.

The absolute most basic idle/incremental mechanics - ones that were already outdated in the genre a decade ago. There is no real feeling of progression because, after unlocking automation, nothing game changing is introduced anymore. You just keep buying new hardware to keep the fields green, then buy software until the fields turn red. The themes are nice, I guess. There's more to them than in most incremental games, but they're still pretty bare-bones and stop being interesting after reading a few emails. The visual theme is great; no notes.

Игра является просто кликером. Особых проблем с автоматизацией игры вообще нет, а потому через минут 10-20 вы автоматизируете свой труд и вам даже кликать не нужно. У игры есть неоспоримые плюсы: 1. Довольно хорошая атмосфера крупной IT-компании в 1999 году 1.2 Из пункта 1 выходит, что и сам интерфейс очень прикольный, но, через пару десятков минут проведенный за счетом циферок на экране, он начинает быть просто фоном. Что уж говорить, если в настройках его можно отключить А теперь к минусам: 1 Геймплей. В геймплее вы проходите капчу из разряда "Найди объект", объектом является "нормальная" фотография человека. "Нормальная" в кавычках, потому что реально нормальные фотографии она может не засчитать, а мыло будет считать хорошей, качественной фотографией. 1.2 Из-за автоматизации геймплея фотографии в капче начнут переключаться все быстрее и быстрее, что в конечном итоге может привести к частым мерцаниям. Слава богу в игре есть возможность отключить это переключение при авто режиме. 2 Это кликер. Вся игра строится на том, что бы нафармить побольше монеток, что бы купить улучшения, что бы фармить больше монеток. В игре есть пара механик, которые будут вам ставить палки в колеса, по типу производительности вашей системы и вылет в BSOD(что фактически означает конец игры), но даже на максимальном уровне сложности они не доставят вам неприятностей.

aw sweet! man-made horrors beyond my comprehension!

This game will absolutely shock and horrify you. It made me feel disgusted a number of times... until it didn't, and that is even more horrifying given the subject matter. That said, I want to address something. This game does use GenAI and while I am normally absolutely against that, I have found an exception in this game. If a game has an AI disclosure on the Steam store saying they used it in making the game then I won't play it, but I accidentally ended up with a copy of this game through a bundle when I redeemed it without checking for AI use beforehand like I normally do. After reading about the subject matter and how it uses AI to challenge the usage of AI, I decided to play it in good faith. I am very glad I did. The game uses AI to educate the user as to why it is bad, much like how if you want to learn about violence you have to see past depictions of violence to truly understand. It shows you by making you train AI and realizing for yourself how companies using it are destroying the planet and creating a surveillance state, and worse, how they don't care. It shows you how carbon emission credits are useless and dangerous, how company green initiatives are PR nonsense, and how tech bros are wrapped up in their own cult-like activities. The game itself is engaging and clever in many ways. I like the idea of an incremental game that you can fail.. It added a tension not found in other games of the genre. But the game, while good, is not the point. This is a game that will change you. This is a game I will wholeheartedly recommend to people who support AI, hoping it will change them too. Peace and solidarity to the devs, a better world is possible.

An incremental game about critique of late stage capitalism, it's like poetry about art but without all the boring parts.

we are so cooked
