Faceminer, a management simulator by Wristwork, immerses players in the world of biometric data harvesting. Set in a pre-Y2K alternate universe, players act as contract workers for a data brokerage, analyzing faces to enhance dataset purity and increase profits. The game combines elements of strategic decision-making, resource management, and emergent storytelling, challenging gamers to balance profit maximization with operational efficiency. Faceminer stands out as a reflection on the real-world implications of data commodification, making players question the ethical dimensions of data collection.
Faceminer is not just about harvesting data; it's an intricate simulation of the high-stakes data economy, revealing the hidden costs associated with our digital existence.
As players refine their biometric datasets, they are constantly reminded that each face in their collection represents not merely a data point, but a complex narrative of privacy and profit.
