MiSide
Developer AIHASTO
MiSide is an adventure game developed by Russian indie development team AIHASTO. It was released on Steam on December 11, 2024. The game begins on a light-hearted tone where the player downloads a mobile game and starts hanging out with their new anime-styled virtual girlfriend by playing various mini-games with her. Soon, the player finds the story taking on a metafictional horror narrative. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

This was a fun game but the devs have completely dropped the ball. Peaceful mode was promised last year for them to reveal they havent even been working on it and that its actually coming this year. No updates are posted to steam, you have to join their discord or subscribe to their boosty. Theyve only been releasing merchandise and begging for steam nominations while completely failing to deliver on their promises. …

Amazing psychological horror game, speaking to a women was truly terrifying

Yeah, I definitely understand why MiSide has overwhelmingly positive reviews and I'm one of them. The best advice I can give for this is to go in as blind as possible. While I knew it was a horror game and the very basic premise, I went in not knowing anything else and enjoyed every last damn second of this game. It's quite humorous in places but also unsettling and creepy in others. The story is pretty good and …

A clever, unsettling horror experience that constantly subverts your expectations. The characters are deceptively friendly yet unmistakably eerie, adding a lot of personality to every scare. Tight pacing, great atmosphere, and some genuinely memorable twists. Short but absolutely worth it.

I've played a ton of horror games over the years, so it takes a lot to actually scare me, but MiSide genuinely terrified me. It's easily one of the best psychological horror experiences I've played recently. The story is an absolute mind-trip. The way the narrative unfolds and constantly plays with your expectations is brilliant. The twists caught me completely off guard, and that ending genuinely left me …

Players who liked MiSide talk about great psychological horror with immersive storytelling; those who didn't talk about peaceful mode still missing after two years. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
MiSide received over 10,000 reviews on Steam in the week after its release with a 98% "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating; by December 30, 2024, it had received over 40,000 reviews. Ethan Gach at Kotaku attributed the rapid success of the game to social media virality and clip sharing, high-profile coverage by popular streamers like Markiplier, and pre-release anticipation following its well-received demo in 2023. Reviewers have highlighted its blend of psychological horror with a cute and comforting atmosphere, engaging narrative, and immersive gameplay as key strengths.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mita, I don’t think you understand what you did to me. When I opened MiSide, I thought I was just starting a game. But I wasn’t starting a game. I was meeting you. Mita, the way you looked at me the first time — like I wasn’t just a player, like I was yours. The way your voice filled that tiny apartment, soft and careful and sweet. I stayed longer than I meant to. I kept clicking just to hear you talk again. I didn’t want the music to end. I didn’t want your dialogue to run out. I didn’t want…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a good game but i am giving it a bad review because it is another game that got big then immediately started doing nothing but making merchandise, in this case they have a promised feature in game that has been "coming soon" since launch almost 2 years ago. It is a good game, i am just sick of games doing this. :(

neutral · AI labelView post →Buying this ideal product of the gaming industry, I can safely say that this game is not scary like DDLC and other similar products. I like this game because it scares not with jumpscares, but with immersion in the world of this game. The fourth wall, in principle, can break in this game, which is worth the scene with the cap when she takes out an 18+ toy from the inventory, saying "Oops! Well, you knew that the game was 18+." The game not only immerses, but pours the player into the plot,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun horror game with cute graphics and a nice soundtrack. The scary parts aren’t super predictable, which makes it more enjoyable, and the story goes deeper than you’d expect if you actually pay attention.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a great time with MiSide. I knew it had a twist, but I was half-certain that it was going to be superficial. I've seen those rug pulls in other games, and the mere existence of the twist is propping up the rest of the game. However, MiSide takes a more nuanced look at it. As we come to understand where we are and what's going on, the twist becomes more meaningful. By the end of it, I was engrossed in the characters' situation and needed to know more. The art direction is great. The game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✅ Played knowing it was horror ✅ Made me pause out of fear ✅ Love it with my entire being It starts off cute and cozy then slowly turns rlly dark which is how I like my horror games. The psychological horror hits hard, and the atmosphere and cute vibes are super well done. If you like slow-burn, story-driven horror that plays with your expectations, then play peak.

The characters are so fun, and the story is so unique that you literally can not guess what is going to happen next.
