Influence

You are the unseen force steering humanity toward the light of reason — or the abyss of fear. Every tap reshapes a civilization, and dozens of endings remember your choice. All the while, Fjord — your desktop pet — perches on your window and taps in your place.

About the Game

History is one touch away

Influence is a hypnotic idle game about power over minds. One tap is an idea cast into the crowd. One agenda fractures an entire civilization. Whether you lead humanity toward the light of reason and unity or the darkness of fear and division is yours alone to decide.

Every choice leaves a mark

Light and darkness, awareness and stability live inside one fragile system — tip it, and the world answers. Guide civilization through the ages, from the first campfires to the age of artificial minds, and unlock one of dozens of endings that remember the ruler you became. No fate repeats twice.

Fjord lives on your desktop

Not inside the game window — across your whole screen. Fjord settles on the edge of any window, follows your cursor, dozes off when you leave, and taps for you while you're busy with your own work. Build his wardrobe of hats — from sombrero to crown — and recolor him to taste. A companion you'll find in no other game.

It grips you from the first tap

Easy to start, hours deep. Grow your empire of influence, climb the seal ranks, meet events that bend the course of history, and return to a world that kept living without you.
