All MiSide Endings: How to Unlock and Achieve All Finals
Is there a way to escape the confinement in the simulation, or will the main character remain in the same four rooms in every ending of MiSide, doomed to eternity in his twisted creation? Unfortunately, none of the endings grant the hero true freedom. He remains trapped, and although the game offers several ways to conclude, all of them leave him in captivity. In this guide, we will examine all possible game endings in detail: from the best to the worst. This will help players learn all the paths and understand the consequences of their decisions.
How to Achieve All Endings
MiSide has only three endings, each of which reveals a unique turn of events to the player. During the storyline quest called "The Basement", you will have the opportunity to explore the mysterious basement space in Mita's closet in more detail.
It is here that you can discover a safe, which plays a key role in one of the shortest endings of the game. This ending unexpectedly concludes the storyline, becoming one of the three possible final points in MiSide. Let's take a closer look at how to achieve each of these endings to understand all possible scenarios and their consequences.
Bad Ending
The main ending of the game is the bad one. You can reach it in MiSide simply by finishing the game and refusing to stay in virtual reality with your new girlfriend. During the game, the Mita who transported you to the virtual world gradually reveals her true nature. She will no longer seem so friendly and welcoming. However, a second Mita, whom you first meet in the quest "The Basement", will come to your aid.
Since these NPCs cannot be destroyed or excluded from the game, this new Mita will try to help you. Using the ring to switch between versions, in the quest "Old Version", she will attempt to help you reset the crazy Mita to factory settings to restore everything to its place.
However, things won't end too well for you and the kind Mita, as players will be missing the most crucial thing — the index of the crazy Mita. In the final quest "Reboot", when you finally find this index, you will be led to believe that the crazy Mita will no longer cause problems, and you can return to the real world. But by entering your ID in the basement, your consciousness will be transferred from biological code to game code. Attempting to leave the basement, you and all other characters will be trapped: Mita will forever turn you into a cartridge, sealing memories and existence in digital format.
Safe Ending
Perhaps you did the same as we did in our first playthrough — trying to crack the safe code located in the basement. We tried all possible combinations, but due to the three-attempt limit, we couldn't uncover what the safe was hiding. Ultimately, all our efforts were in vain, as after completing the main storyline, when Mita turns you into a cartridge, you will still see the girl entering the password. Now, with this information, we can return to the game, starting from the "Basement" chapter. Enter the safe code: 4970 to open it and find out what's inside.
Inside the safe, there is a portable device and a small tracker. Playing from the first-person perspective, we notice that a cartridge is inserted into the port. Realizing it's our version of MiSide, the player carefully removes it, instantly ending the playthrough. Soon, we find ourselves in the main menu, where we can choose to start a new game or continue from a previously completed chapter.
This ending vividly conveys the hopelessness of the main character, who desperately hopes that this terrible nightmare will finally end. Although his consciousness is slowly being uploaded onto the cartridge through a special device, the ending hints that the first player was trapped in this virtual reality even before we began our journey. The situation creates a sense that his fate was predetermined long before we turned on the game, and he was already part of the simulation from which he could not escape.
Good Ending
To achieve this ending, several conditions must be met. First of all, you need to complete the main storyline in Misde, which becomes a sign that it is the true resolution for the main character. While the good ending is unlocked only on a second playthrough — either by creating a new save or by launching the chapter called "Together At Last".
To progress further, several conditions aimed at making Mita happy must be fulfilled. These requirements can be started in the 2D version of MiSide, where the main character immerses himself at the very beginning of the game. Most of the conditions are completed during interactions with Mita when you first find yourself in the simulation, spending time with her and making important decisions that affect the further course of events.
- First of all, you will need to refuse to live with Mita. To do this, during the console game, choose a mini-game with fighting or snowball gathering.
- When it's time to dine with Mita, use scissors to carefully cut open the sauce packet.
- Another important condition is to refrain from inspecting the vent in the bathroom — do not violate this prohibition.
- During the game, pay attention to the magnets with the inscription "I love you" that will fall in the kitchen, and don't forget to pick them up.
- And finally, the key moment — the oven. At the beginning of the game, Mita will ask you to help find her comb and will strongly warn you not to look in the oven. To achieve the desired ending, you need to listen to her carefully and avoid looking in the oven by any means.
