Review:

(Note: This game is included in Fast Food 2025 Simulator & Myside Reality, along with Fast Food 2025 Simulator: Business Tycoon.)

In 2024, developer Aihasto and publisher Shochiku released Miside on PC, a game with an overarching premise that you’re playing a videogame life simulator sorta’ game and the character inside the game draws you inside the game itself, with a twist that’s somewhat similar to what you see in a game like Doki Doki Literature Club (a game it is bundled with in one Compilation on Steam). Miside was well-received by players, with nearly 100,000 positive user reviews on Steam at the time of this writing. And of course with success comes imitation.

Misdie: Into The Game, published by Dumbass Games on Nintendo Switch in 2025, is not Miside. But as you can tell from the name, it was very clearly designed to not only copy Miside, but trick players into thinking it’s the same game, rather than what it actually is, a low-quality low-effort knockoff with content clearly created by AI.

That brings me to Myside Reality, published by GreenWookland Games on Nintendo Switch in 2025, which is also not Miside, and it is not Misdie: Into The Game either. Rather, this is a completely different game very clearly designed to not only copy Miside, but trick players into thinking it’s the same game, rather than what it actually is, a low-quality low-effort knockoff with content clearly created by AI.

You know, just in case you were wondering just how bad AI slop has been getting in 2025.

The presentation in Myside Reality is clearly modeled after Miside, with similar room layouts, color palette, premise… really, everything. Making use of simple 3D, there’s really nothing here of note except the visual style, and that was lifted whole cloth from Miside. There’s a bit of character dialogue from the game’s virtual girl character, but it has some horrible grammar, and is clearly using some sort of text-to-speech to voice its nonsensical writing.

I can’t really review the gameplay here, because there seems to be a design flaw that prevents progress early in the game, where I’m meant to enter a password into a computer, but even though there is only one 4-digit password to be found, the computer doesn’t recognize it. So I’m just stuck in a cramped, simple-looking apartment unable to do anything or interact with anything other than a computer I can’t get into, a few doors I have to walk through by pushing against them, and a refrigerator I can open but can’t do anything else with, with all walking being at a snail’s pace (despite there being a run button, which doesn’t do anything).

Prior to this, there were a few brain-dead mini-games: one where I had to collect clothes in a point-and-click interface, one that has the player playing Tic-Tac-Toe with a brain-dead opponent, and one that simply has you spinning a wheel and getting whatever random result it lands on.

I can’t speak to whether Misdie: Into The Game is a better copycat of Miside, but I still think it’s pretty despicable to shamelessly copy someone else’s game in such a brazen way and sell it as your own. However, Myside Reality takes that distaste and compounds it with an utterly broken and unplayable game. In any case, whatever your reason for not playing Myside Reality, you should absolutely not play Myside Reality.

tl;dr – Myside Reality is a copycat rip-off of the premise, look, and gameplay (in theory) of the PC game Miside, and even if the cynical copying isn’t enough to bother you, the absolutely broken gameplay should. Under no condition should you buy this game.

Grade: F
