Influencing

Influencing puts you in control of how your choices shape relationships and status in an adult dating sim. Starting from scratch, you create your character's appearance and guide their personality through decisions that affect friendship, love, money, fame, status and sometimes fear. Use these social levers to pursue romance, build a career, upgrade your life or manipulate outcomes across hundreds of uniquely generated characters. Influencing appeals to players who enjoy branching dialogue, life-sim stats and emergent character interactions, and it is still expanding as the developer adds more mechanics and content.
