What is Influence?
Influence is an AI-powered interactive fiction app that brings back the magic of choose-your-own-adventure books — and takes it much further. Every story is written in real time by AI, reacting to your choices as you make them. No two adventures are ever the same.
How It Works
- Choose your world. Pick a genre, era, tone, mission, difficulty, and story length — from fantasy and sci-fi to horror and mystery, ancient civilisations to far-future worlds.
- Pack your bag. Select Influencer items to bring along. These are narrative wildcards that change how the story unfolds, what options you get, and what consequences follow.
- Play. Read the story as it unfolds in real time and make choices at every turn. Deploy Influencers at critical moments to change your fate.
- Reach your ending. Every adventure concludes based on your decisions — hero, villain, or something nobody expected.
- Share and compete. Share your story with friends, who can read it or replay the same scenario with different choices, and compete on the community leaderboard for monthly rewards.
