What shouldwill you make Dan do today?

We see the obvious sources of power everywhere: Military Might, Politicial Influence, and Money-Money-Money.

But what of the less-than-obvious powers?

Those invisible guiding hands that shape our beliefs and attitudes. Those unseen forces influencing what we think, who we are, and how we act. Do we see those powers as clearly?

The cultural items we encounter speak volumes about who we are -- and who we aspire to be.

Books, Movies, Games, and more -- all have something to say. What they are saying -- and the impact on us -- is not always clear.

What if you could choose the books somebody will read -- the movies they'll watch -- the video games they play?

Do you think you might be able to eventually control their thoughts & beliefs? Even control their actions?

Support our work:

Meet Dan!

We will control the cultural items that appear in Dan's Life. And this will determine Dan's decisions and actions.

What should will you make Dan do today?

Educators: Cultural Overlord includes two modes: "Discovery Mode" (entertainment) and "EDU Mode" (educational).

Discovery Mode is a streamlined version with a primary focus on Dan's experience, allowing for quick replay to explore the multiple story branches based on choices made during the game.

EDU Mode includes additional educational information during the break between each Act. The educational info explores how the cultural artifacts contribute to Dan's decision-making and poses questions designed for classroom discussion.
