TOP-10 Best Games Similar to MiSide

MiSide is a hybrid of a visual novel and a quest with a cute anime girl as the key character. The game masterfully juggles emotions — at different times it evokes affection, pity, slight sadness and even genuine horror. And the ending that you get during the first playthrough can be downright shocking. However, this is far from the only project that combines horror and feminine charm. You will find other examples in our article.

At first glance, this game may seem like a standard visual novel. We communicate with girls, develop relationships with them and secretly hope for spicy scenes with the participation of drawn beauties. But instead, we are waiting for creepy scenes, the destruction of the fourth wall and a demonstration of extreme cruelty.

Parallels with MiSide are immediately obvious. For example, one of the heroines realizes that she is just a character in the game. It is important to note that Doki Doki Literature Club! is much more shocking than Mita's story.

Fans of the dark style can pay attention to The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. The main character, who resembles Ksyusha from "Altushka for Skuf", lives with her brother. To survive, they will have to commit terrible crimes, including those that we cannot tell you about.

During the passage of MiSide, you will encounter the crazy Mita, who will pursue you and try to kill you. Similar gameplay was encountered in Saiko No Sutoka. There, the beautiful Saiko locked the main character in the school. The girl has two states — calm and aggressive, when she wishes death to the protagonist of the game. You will have to drive her into traps and wait until the girl calms down. The main task is to get out alive. Along the way, you will have to solve various puzzles, for example, pick up the code for the safe, where the key to the gate is.

If you are not interested in the horror component, but the opportunity to observe the girl from the outside, we recommend installing this project. You will control a ghost who helps a young beauty become better. For example, you can convince her to take up reading so that she becomes smarter. The game includes some spicy scenes, for example, the ability to change your ward's underwear. If the appearance of the project resembles MiSide, then in terms of capabilities it is closer to Beyond: Two Souls by David Cage, where we also play as a disembodied spirit.

This visual novel belongs to the body horror genre. Its protagonist sees the world as distorted — ordinary people seem to him to be disfigured monsters. Only a girl named Saya looks like a real beauty in his eyes. And the protagonist involuntarily falls for her. This cutie really does look impressive against the backdrop of the horrors happening around. But in reality, it is she who turns out to be the person from whom it is better to stay away. The project can be recommended not only to fans of MiSide, but also to fans of the works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

In MiSide, the main character finds himself in a virtual world from which he cannot escape. A similar plot awaits you in Love Love School Days. Here, a guy installs a dating simulator to meet a virtual girlfriend. It was claimed that she has artificial intelligence with the ability to self-learn. This is true — the girl changed the source code and deprived players of the opportunity to return to everyday reality. Our task is to outwit the insidious neural network.

The most recent game from our selection, which appeared in early access on January 23, 2025. Its key feature is the ability to directly communicate with the heroines using text or voice chat. Each of the three beauties is infatuated with the protagonist and will not want him to leave her. At the same time, the girls hide dark secrets that you can learn about as you communicate with them.

According to a popular fan theory, all the Meets you see in MiSide demonstrate the different moods of one single girl with an obvious personality disorder. Psychological problems are the subject of Needy Streamer Overload, in which you will find yourself as the manager of a popular streamer. Your task is to monitor the emotional state of the beauty and not let her break down. To do this, it is important to select topics for live broadcasts, monitor comments and encourage her in case of failures. Also, do not forget about the girl's personal affection for you. For example, she needs to be given attention from time to time. If necessary, you can change the psychological state of the girl with the help of various substances. However, their use can lead to unpredictable consequences.

In MiSide, a cute girl eventually turned out to be the main character's enemy. A similar concept is used in Slay the Princess. Here, players are given a specific task — to kill the princess. Further actions directly depend on you. However, even the death of the main character does not lead to the end of the game, but only restarts the time loop, in which everything starts anew. You have to figure out how this strange universe works and find the puppeteer, for whom everything that happens is just entertainment and a way to become even stronger.

This game is designed primarily for connoisseurs of visual novels who are familiar with the genre. Like MiSide, it breaks the fourth wall. But at the same time, it raises the issue of the importance of choosing a love interest. “Why confess your feelings to a girl if your choice will be different during the next playthrough?” the game asks. Among the project’s features, one can note randomly generated questions. The ending of the whole story depends on your answers.
