FACEMINER Introduces Endless Expanded Mode

Version 2.0.0 update for FACEMINER is like a seismic shock, pushing the management clicker game across Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. With Wristwork pouring in fresh ideas, the experience keeps levelling up. You can find it on Steam and itch. If you thought FACEMINER had already pushed your nerves, your ethics, and your mouse-clicking endurance to the edge, get ready. Wristwork Studio just dropped a massive free update, and it changes everything. The indie dystopian clicker we’ve all quietly obsessed over has officially hit version 2.0.0. Honestly? It feels like this Linux game just levelled up into a whole new era,  even on Steam Deck. Let’s start with the big one: Endless Expanded. The old endless mode was fine, good even, but this? This feels like FACEMINER finally taking the gloves off. The devs rebuilt the entire post-story experience from the ground up. They tossed in 10+ new unlocks like Overclock, Thermal Suppression, and the Overdrive Module. These aren’t just stat bumps; they change the rhythm of how you push your biometric empire forward. Add in a brand-new prestige mechanic and a handful of “what the hell just happened” surprises. Now you’ve got a mode that actually feels endless in the best way a version 2.0.0 game can offer. Whether you’re a returning miner who survived the meltdown years ago, or someone stepping into the grinder for the first time, the late-game finally has real teeth. And real reasons to keep digging.

But then, because apparently Wristwork decided sleep is optional, they added VR Mode. Yeah. gameplay... in full 360°. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to stand inside a dystopian biometric data factory and poke at the machinery with your own hands, this is your moment. The VR mode is still a lightweight beta. It is optimized so even lower-powered systems can join the madness. So, for anyone with a web-capable headset, you can jump in straight from the Viverse platform for free. It’s weird, it’s experimental. Thanks to the version 2.0.0 update, it feels like the kind of thing only an indie studio with nothing to lose would dare to build. A quick rewind for newcomers: FACEMINER launched back on February 27th, 2025, throwing players into late-90s “cutting-edge” infrastructure with about as much stability as a stack of overclocked Pentium processors in a sauna. You balance growth, ethics, environmental disasters, and the crushing weight of a planetary-scale data empire. You’ll laugh, you’ll panic, you’ll question your morals. Sometimes all at once. Wristwork, founded in London in 2021, has always been about experimental interactive media, and updates like this version 2.0.0 showcase make it clear they’re still committed to that wild, artsy, slightly unhinged vision. FACEMINER is available now on Steam (currently 40% off!) at $4.79 USD / £4.01 / 4,67€ and on itch at regular price for Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. If you needed a sign to jump back in… this is it.

When I started Faceminer it was essentially fun experience, but this fuckin game managed to make me feel like the worst scum on Earth.

IT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A BAD PERSON BECAUSE I WAS DOING IMPACT ON SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXISTS.

FACEMINER Localization Brings New Life to Gameplay

FACEMINER localization launches for the darkly atmospheric management sim game on Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the steady creativity and support from the team at Wristwork. Which you can find on Steam with 95% Very Positive reviews.

Alright, gather ‘round—this is the kind of update that makes you restart your campaign at 2AM “just to check something” and accidentally time travel to sunrise.

Wristwork Studio just released a massive localization update for FACEMINER, and it’s a total game changer. The cult-hit indie management sim now speaks six new languages: Japanese, German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Latin American Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. So whether you're building a surveillance empire in Berlin or dodging ethical landmines in São Paulo, Linux and Steam Deck gaming just got a whole lot more personal.

And get this — this is Wristwork’s first ever localization push, which also means, more players around the world can dive deep into the grimy FACEMINER, morally twisted tech world without battling a language barrier. This title has full voice dialogue, a period perfect 90s UI, and an in-game messaging system. Due to feel like opening your boss’s email at 3AM with a pit in your stomach.

FACEMINER Trailer (before localization)

If you haven’t played it yet before localization, here’s the pitch: FACEMINER, originally released on February 27, 2025, throws you into the chaos of 1999. You're managing a booming biometric data company with just - barely - functional tech. Think failing servers, rising sea levels, shady government contracts — and all of it resting on your decisions.

What makes it hit hard is how real it feels. Since it’s not just about spreadsheets and growth curves. It’s also about the cost of that growth. Every choice you make has consequences that ripple across your empire — and sometimes, the entire planet. It’s dramatic, it makes you think, and yes — it gets dark. But that’s what makes it so good.

And now, with the FACEMINER localization update, it’s ready to mess with even more people’s heads — in the best way.

More languages are on the horizon, too, so if your native tongue isn’t on the list yet, stay tuned. Wristwork’s clearly in it for the long haul.

Linux and Steam Deck players, you know the pain of waiting for solid ports and support. FACEMINER runs smooth, and now with the localization update, the management sim reads smoother in more corners of the world. It’s time to boot it up, pick a language, and start making uncertain decisions that’ll haunt you. Just like the good old days. Which you can find on Steam for $6.39 USD / £5.35 / 6,23€ with a 20% discount included.
