Mesmer v1.0.5

Mesmer is a social-survival adventure set in a kingdom that has slipped into tyranny. You take on the role of Teri De Belle, a daring traveler who returns home only to find the capital under an iron grip. The King’s secret police enforce strict curfews, fields once meant for food are now planted with mind-altering “Paciflowers,” and dissenters are broken of their will through a cruel ritual known as “Horsing.” Faced with the threat of losing your identity, you’re thrust into leading a revolution that could restore freedom—or plunge the city into chaos.

Story and Setting
In Mesmer, the ruling family has turned prosperity into oppression. Citizens live in fear of nightly patrols armed with torchlight, while fruitless farms feed the regime’s experiments rather than the people. As conditions worsen, whispers of rebellion grow louder—but turning talk into action means stepping into the shadows yourself. Can you unite a fractured society and spark a movement big enough to topple the King?

Core Gameplay
• Social Influence as Currency
• Win people over through conversation, charm and even blackmail.
• Each faction responds to different tactics—flattery, money, ideology or intimidation.
• Stealth and Survival
• Avoid night guards by sticking to rooftops, hugging walls and slipping through alleyways.
• One misstep in the dark means arrest or worse.
• Public Uprisings
• Find Crowdhorns—makeshift stages—to deliver stirring speeches.
• Rally citizens, tear down barricades and lead your followers to the royal palace.

The Five Factions
1. Nobility—Traditional royalists who still question the King’s judgment.
2. Merchants—Wealthy traders and landlords angered by heavy taxes.
3. Artisans—Writers, painters and scholars who yearn for liberty.
4. Workers—The backbone of the city; their numbers can tip the balance.
5. Underworld—Outcasts, thieves and radicals skilled in subterfuge.
