You've had an idea! Can you keep it alive?

It might be a philosophy, a cult, a business idea, a new religion, fake news. Whatever it is, you want to keep the thought alive by persuading as many people as you can.

Controls

• Movement - WASD / arrow keys / left mouse click and drag
• Pause - Escape

Basic Instructions

• Stand near people to persuade them
• Once convinced they will persuade others, including you!
• Conviction drops over time, don't lose faith in your own thought

Detailed Instructions

• Persuade a certain number of people before the time runs out to win
• Spend your points at the start! The game might be impossible if you don't
• The more people you convince, the harder your enemies will try to dissuade them and the faster conviction will drop
• Green people are highly convinced, yellow are middling, orange are weakly convinced (but they still think you're right)
• If you lose conviction, stand near someone who believes in your idea
• Some people are more sceptical than others so are harder to convince
• Everyone has their own charisma and confidence, just because someone is in your persuasion range doesn't mean you're in theirs
