Agents of Influence is a narrative-based educational video game that teaches players how to recognize and combat misinformation in their daily lives. Students will play a fun secret spy narrative that teaches them about data collection and tracking, algorithms, echo chambers, impostor content, logical fallacies, and data fallacies. Future content will cover political bias and pseudoscience. The right stories have the power to change our world for the better! The project is currently live on Kickstarter: https://bit.ly/AgentsInfluenceKickstarter
