Mesmerizer (stylized as Mesmerizer!) is a fangame based on the 32ki Vocaloid and music video of the same name, created by Atena and a few others. It was released on Itch.io on June 16, 2024, to a growing positive fannish response. Its battle system is based on Undertale's, whilst utilizing references and characters from the original music video, including Akita Neru.
Canon
Much like the music video it is based upon, the player takes the roles of both Kasane Teto, and later on, Hatsune Miku (dressed in their circus attire) as they travel across the world portrayed by the former in order to stay focused and bring back the aforementioned missing character (in this case, the yellow star in the vid).
Fans who have played the game note its battle and exploration system as being similar to OMORI and Undertale, owing to the whimsical nature of said fangame.

Had an awesome time playing this game! It was really fun slowly getting used to her attacks, upgrading, Finding, Scamming then Repaying Neru, and finally figuring out how to nuke the notes out of Miku. What a well done game, I'd love to see this battle system and concept expanded upon more!
