Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.86/day in the week to Aug 31 → 2.86/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 8/day in the week to Jul 18 → 3.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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.

[h1]Peter Thiel ASMR[/h1] Probably the best number-go-up idler I have ever played. It puts out literally everything with excellence: world-building, visuals, sounds, story, and most importantly consistently fair and engaging mechanics. It even has difficulty settings and a new game plus and endless modes with added mechanics. Nothing in here is an afterthought: every single thing is deliberately structured and carefully designed.
The plot-twist was foreshadowed very well with the 'employee' emails! I liked the different stuff you can manage (when it's not overwhelming). Basically an office-sim, idle clicker, and management sim all in one! Loved the process of getting all the achievements. Very good game :) 10/10, would destroy the environment again!

Die Story hatte ich nach knapp über zwei Stunden durchgespielt. Hätte ich gewusst, dass das Spiel so kurz ist, dann hätte ich bei dem Preis einen Refund angefragt. Die Spielmechanik in der Story ist ganz nett. Insbesondere, weil es ein Idle-Game ist, bei dem man auch verlieren kann. Im Endlosmodus kommt dann allerdings auch nichts mehr; die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Upgrades werden nur immer größer, um die Spielzeit zu strecken. Kein Prestige, gar nix. Schade. Für unter 4€ vielleicht; aber so ist das Spiel zu teuer.
Absolutely devastating... I will never play another incremental game again. 10/10
scratches a similar itch to cookie clicker and it very topical in todays age of ai, especially those with surveillance and military applications
The work is mysterious and important. I got a million bucks and all it took was getting mild carpal tunnel syndrome and destroying the world a wee bit.
This is just like that time i got a job at flock overseeing the daycare bathroom and childrens gymnastic center
jogo muito divertido, boa história, mas o design e a atmosfera são o ponto forte do jogo. se gosta de jogo incremental esse vale muito a pena
Marginally interesting incremental. Story is insipid, gameplay is as repetitive as any incremental with nothing really unique or innovative here.
the idea is cool and creative the gameplay is very unique and interesting
