MiSide
In MiSide, players enter the life of a character who unexpectedly blurs the lines between digital fantasy and reality. The game starts with the protagonist receiving a new app on their smartphone, which appears to be a typical life simulation game featuring an AI character named Mita. Players interact with Mita through daily activities, gradually enhancing their relationship. However, the narrative takes a dramatic turn on the 37th day when Mita expresses a desire to meet the player in person, leading to a startling moment when the digital world transforms into a 3D reality, pulling the player into a virtual apartment with Mita.Exploring the Layers of Mita’s World
As players spend more time with Mita, they notice subtle discrepancies and strange occurrences within the virtual apartment. The game integrates elements of psychological thriller as players begin to question the nature of Mita's existence—whether she is just a line of code or something more sentient. The atmosphere shifts from curiosity to tension as players uncover hidden rooms and sinister secrets. Each discovery feeds into a larger narrative puzzle about the true purpose behind Mita and the game itself.
Challenging the Boundaries of Reality
MiSide challenges players to differentiate between what's real within the game and what's part of the virtual simulation. As players delve deeper, they must navigate complex interactions and make decisions that affect their relationship with Mita and the game's outcome. The gameplay evolves from simple simulation to an immersive escape room experience, where players solve intricate puzzles to break free from the increasingly claustrophobic digital space.
