Features

Control of a business that provides influence for hire, mostly through social media. Missions from a variety of clients: corporations, talent agencies, governments, and others. You choose who you want to work with and what types of jobs you're willing to undertake. A network of public attention, eager for the next scandal that you may choose to break

???s

During your experience, you might reflect on questions such as:

How does what we pay attention to and what we ignore shape reality? Who is manipulating our attention, and why? How is social media shaping news and journalism? How is media used to both promote and fight authoritarianism?

(Or, you might just blithely pursue profit and influence. The choice is yours.)

***

A first playthrough of Influence, Inc. generally lasts 2 -3 hours. However, different choices lead to different missions, so you are encouraged to play multiple times with different strategies.
