About
Click. Click. Click.
Welcome to FACEMINER, where Every Face Has Value. Your job? Harvest biometric data, upgrade infrastructure, and expand your data processing empire as hard as Planet Earth can take it.
Set entirely within the confines of a vintage operating system, FACEMINER is a narrative-driven incremental management 'click-em-up' that tasks the player with building a planetary-scale biometric processing empire from scratch.
Harvest data, manage software upgrades, and expand your hardware as you rapidly scale 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.

Mining alone is no fun! Learn more about your fellow miners and keep up to date with the office gossip through the internal corporate messaging system. Sift through messages to unravel the mysteries – and ultimate plans – of the shadowy creators of the FACEMINER software suite.
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?

Featuring a tour-de-force of original 90s-infused tracks by Madwreck . From house to jungle to ambient, the built-in audio player will keep you locked in the zone while you click your way into A.I. history.
Completed the main game? Spend more times in the mines with 'Endless Mode', 'VR Mode' (for full 360 degree immersion), 'Infinite Money Glitch' mode and more.
Remember: Every Face Has Value.

muito bom piorar as mudanças climáticas para ver numerozinho subir
Good Game, Do be aware that the game's Easy "Less grind" option removes a lot of actual content and not just grind.
An incremental game about critique of late stage capitalism, it's like poetry about art but without all the boring parts.
faceminer é um jogo bacana, mas eu sinto que podia ser algo bem mais alem, quando vc entende o ciclo de gameplay e consegue optimizar a producao, fica meio sem graca, mas é um jogo curto blz, o que me incomoda mesmo são as pontas soltas na historia, o plot de conspiracao que n foi bem explorado, e as questoes filosoficas que ficaram pairando no ar e não são levadas muito a frente.
a clicker game that finally nailed the climate horror of infinite growth, definitely play this one!

At its a core, a very short and sweet game with a compelling gameplay loop that makes you complicit in the heat death of the world. This was my first experience with an idle clicker, but I was sold on its stellar soundtrack by MADWRECK and its vision of a not so theoretical future-past of 1999. Your monitor is just for Facemining at a modest but pathetic pace but your rig eventually grows to such comically huge proportions that you are forced to contend with your influence in this bleak world. The parallels to crypto mining and our dedication to constructing resource intensive data centers (an understatement) is very clear here. A very poignant and electrifying experience, excellent for its price point. In the end, I was graded as a “D-“ grade Faceminer so take my review with a grain of salt.
Not bad clicker w/ interesting story. I can even imagine walking through this game one more time.
Gameplay is okay-ish in terms of an incremental game. I wish there was a little more to it, rather than most of the additional windows being purely for additional visuals, rather than adding any additional gameplay elements to the core gameplay. Story is a good ol' environmental message. You cant really go wrong with that, looking at the game's themes and the horrors of the current internet. The visuals are good though, Im a sucker for these retro-style themed games. Reccomended, but on discount.
