Chapter 9: Dummies and Forgotten Puzzles

Dummies and Forgotten Puzzles is a chapter from the story of MiSide.

Plot Synopsis

Entering the door, the player will advance through many more rooms that resemble various levels of The Backrooms while being chased by more corrupted Mita models, eventually reaching another door and entering it, which leads him to a surreal and visually-stunning open world where he can see what appears to be the moon. This world resembles a very foggy version of space. In this world, the player has to walk solely on catwalks and railings, solving puzzles to unlock various shut metal gates. Upon completing the second puzzle and pulling a lever to unlock a gate, a fridge will fall from the sky and slam into the ground, narrowly missing the player. Upon further investigation, the player will see Mita standing on a catwalk above him, who will then feign innocence and claim that she had nothing to do with the falling fridge before flirtatiously taunting the player and telling him that this area is dangerous, and that he should move on.

As the player moves on, he enters a massive vacuum-like tunnel where many random in-game assets and objects fly past him. As he passes through and reaches the exit to the tunnel, a flying chair gets stuck and repeatedly duplicates itself in a glitchy fashion.

Exiting the tunnel, the player reaches a train station where Chibi Mita exits the train and rudely tells the player to move before running away. Boarding the train, the player will meet Mitaphone, the train's inbuilt driver, who tells the player to use the gun mounted on the train to shoot down flying monsters as the train moves forward. Reaching the destination, Mitaphone bids the player farewell and the player exits the train, finding an arcade machine that he can optionally play. After finding and examining a picture, the player is sent to Ghostly Mita's room.
