Manipulate the elements around with the force of attraction of your Avatar. Create influence and movement in a basic frozen space.

In Influence, the player controls an Avatar that attracts Fragments that fall into his area of influence. The player can thus change the layout of the game space around him.

In addition, he has the possibility to create Stars, which also have an influence on the Fragments as well as on other Stars. He will be able to create systems of Stars whose energy is not infinite and which will eventually become extinct if they find themselves isolated from other Stars.

With the Modulators, the player will have the ability to change the movement a Star creates on nearby fragments. He has to pass through them, then touch or create a Star to pass the new behaviour.

Moreover, he can modify the appearance of a Star using Nebulae the same way he uses modulators.

Number of Fragments :

The number of fragments will have an impact on the performance of the game. For the most modest PCs, we recommend 4500 fragments (Example with a GTX 1060 6DDR5 I5 8Gb max 6000 fragments for 40fps constant)

Local Mutliplayer (Experimental) :

Controllers are required to play with several players. The game has multi-display that allows you to play on several screens (in extended mode).
