Influence is out!

I made this game alone, and honestly I still can't quite believe it's live :) A few hours before release I was still nudging a banner four pixels up because it bothered me — that's pretty much how the whole thing got built!

It's an idle game about running a civilization. You tap, and the world answers — headlines, events, consequences. Every run ends in one of 19 fates, and the one you reach won't come back: the world always pulls toward a fate you haven't seen yet.

But honestly? The game exists because of Fjord :)

He's a little creature who lives on the edge of your window — not inside the game. He watches your cursor. Poke him and he wobbles like jelly! Drag him onto Chrome, onto your spreadsheet, onto anything you've got open. He taps for you while you work, falls asleep when you're away, and yes — he wears hats!

25% off for the first two weeks!

If something feels broken or confusing, please tell me! Discussions, or right here under this post. I read absolutely everything and I patch fast. 1.0 is definitely not where this stops!

Thank you so much for being here on day one. It really means a lot :)
