miside is infuriating because it was a setup for a good game but never delivered on anything. its not a deconstruction of dating sims/gacha which is how it presents itself at the start. the main character is miserable to self insert into and is barely interested in the fact he got transported into a video game, immediately trying to make the player leave. it doesn't let the player do most things they want to do to interact with each character in the moment so its mostly just them staring at you -- biggest example being teasing you with loli mita not wanting you to leave and then not giving you any way to interact with her or stay. each character isn't developed enough for their deaths to be impactful. its full of meaningless references that don't enhance the narrative or themes. there's no interesting motive or mystery. the ending is anti-climactic. the pacing of crazy mita's development is all over the place. the logic behind players and cartridges isn't developed. most of the mini-games are not entertaining and come across as busy work. the mitas being robots inside a video game does not make any sense and does nothing but complicate the narrative unnecessarily. they introduce things like core mita explain nothing and promptly move on making it just a gimmick. the game introduces rules like rebooting crazy mita to fix her and then immediately discards those rules and said it didn't work without explaining why. its written like a middle school OC and its pissing me off.
