what is FACEMINER?

FACEMINER is a narrative-driven incremental game about building a biometric data empire.

Set in 1999 with a 90s techno-optimism theme, players harvest biometric data and upgrade infrastructure to grow a planetary-scale AI surveillance empire. The game combines management and storytelling elements.

It sits in the Idle / Numbers / Management / Narrative / Minimalist corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
