MiSide is a psychological horror adventure game developed by AIHASTO and published by IndieArk and Shōchiku, released on December 10–11, 2024 for Windows PC. It begins like a quirky visual novel/simulation where you interact with an anime-styled virtual girlfriend named Mita, helping her with everyday tasks like cooking, chores, and taking selfies. However, as time passes — particularly after the in-game day 37 — the story suddenly shifts into a psychological horror experience as you’re transported into the game world itself, forcing you to explore your surroundings, uncover hidden secrets, solve puzzles, and confront increasingly disturbing twists.
The narrative plays with the boundary between fantasy and reality, blending cute visuals and warm music with dark themes, tension, and narrative choices that lead to multiple possible endings. The game has received very positive player reviews on Steam, praised for its storytelling and unique blend of horror and simulation. Officially, MiSide is Windows-only, but some players report running it on macOS using tools like CrossOver, Wine, or Whisky.
