INFLUENCERS: A Mini-RPG about Demigods of the Internet

You are an INFLUENCER, a powerful demigod of the CYBERNET, an infinite city that stretches to every horizon. Your follower-cult worships you, brand-states court your opinion, and millions of enraged, frothing ANONS seek to steal your power and CANCEL you.

Two competing forces rule the CYBERNET. In the deep catacomb-sewers of the city silently hums THE ALGORITHM, an omnipotent god-computer, whose unknown machinations control everything. Raging miles above the tallest skyscraper is THE DISCOURSE, an eternal storm that pours either soothing, life-giving rain or apocalyptic, world-ending fire, all at a moment’s notice.

Will you use your immense power to SAVE THE CYBERNET? Or will you SELL OUT? The choice is YOURS.
