Faceminer is the dystopian narrative-driven A.I. management sim where you build a biometric data processing empire from scratch. Classify dubiously sourced data, upgrade mining infrastructure, and scale up your A.I. surveillance empire to obscene ends in this hardcore thriller clicker set in 1999.
Rarely does a clicker/incremental game captivate me with a story, but this one really got ahold of me. I enjoyed the nostalgia of the interface mixed with the modern take of the theme. I highly recommend this one.
A lot of incremental games don’t stick with me. It’s the snack food of gaming for me. You play it for a couple hours, finish it, and forget about it. I don’t think I’ll forget this game very easily. It’s not subtle about what it’s about: our own downfall as humanity giving into our greed and constant need for profit. About our constant need to feel...
I feel mixed about this one. It has an interesting premise, but I feel most of the commentary starts and ends in the aesthetics. If you like incremental games this one is standout, but it isn't going to blow your mind. The soundtrack is banger tho, breakcore and Palantir are like pb and jam I guess
Playing this game during a heat wave where my apartment was regularly 95 °F made the last act of this game nightmarishly immersive. It's going to stick with me for a long time.
The soundtrack is a masterpiece; it captures the electronic music of the time period so perfectly.
Artwork looks great but the gameplay loop is just not worth your time. Once you get the bot to automate everything (which happens right at the start) you no longer have anything to do and are forced to just sit there and wait until you have enough money to slightly increase the bot's speed. I came to play a game, not watch a bot do it for me.
That being...
