"Before the game's release, we never expected MiSide to be so popular," the game's developers wrote on Steam last week alongside an update adding a photo mode and tweaks to enhance its gameplay experience, suggesting a level of surprise at the game's rapid ascent in popularity despite its intriguing concept and the elaborate marketing efforts surrounding it.
"The premise is a mashup of visual novel and cozy walking sim elements that eventually goes to some much weirder places and begins breaking the fourth wall in the process," revealing how MiSide challenges typical game structures and storytelling forms, contributing to its unique appeal and successful engagement with players.
"Markiplier streamed the game a couple of days after it came out and, weeks later, the VOD has accumulated over 3 million views," pointing to the importance of online influencers in the gaming community for boosting game visibility and success upon release.
"At this point, the comments page is filled with people sharing YouTube videos of their own playthroughs of the unsettling, creepypasta-infused, twist-filled story," illustrating the game's wide impact and the active community fostering ongoing interest and discussions about its content.
