Steer a civilization toward reason or fear, one tap at a time, while a desktop pet taps for you.

Influence is an idle game about shaping minds. Every tap casts an idea into the crowd, and every agenda you push nudges humanity toward unity and reason or toward fear and division. You guide a civilization from the first campfires to the age of artificial minds, balancing light, darkness, awareness and stability. Tip the balance and the world reacts. Dozens of endings remember the kind of ruler you became, so no run plays out the same way. The twist is Fjord, a little companion who lives on your actual desktop. He perches on the edge of any window, follows your cursor, naps when you step away and keeps tapping while you work. Dress him up with hats and recolor him as you go. Easy to pick up and deep enough for long sessions: climb the seal ranks, react to events that bend history, and come back to a world that kept moving without you.
