Basic Controls and Interface — MiSide Guide

Learn the essential controls and interface elements of MiSide to navigate the game effectively. This guide covers basic interactions, menus, and key mechanics.

This guide details the basic controls and interface elements within MiSide. As you progress, you'll interact with your phone, manage tasks for Mita, and eventually operate portal machinery.

The game begins with interacting with your phone on the desk. Press E to check messages and download the app. Press E again to start playing the game on your phone.

Key interactions involve:

• Picking up items like laundry and baskets.
• Navigating menus to select options, such as choosing soup from the top-right menu.
• Prepping ingredients by clicking on them.
• Using the mouse to drag the slider from top to bottom to cut vegetables.
• Playing minigames accessed via the button in the top right. Mita's energy is displayed on the top left and limits which minigames can be played.
• Purchasing items like the TV set for 450 from the shop in the right corner.
• Searching for items like the hairbrush by interacting with cabinets. Do not look in the oven, as this affects a later choice. The hairbrush is found in the kitchen cabinet beside the dining table.
• Moving furniture like the wardrobe by clicking on the blinking grid space on the floor.

Later in the game, you will interact with a portal machine:

• Press the blinking red button to power it up.
• Scan three items: Bowknot (bathroom sink counter), Pencil (bedroom side cabinet or desk), and Spoon (kitchen near sink or on table). Item locations may vary.
• Place items on the scanner and press the blinking red button on the left to scan.
• Press the power button again and stand on the portal pad.
• To restore power after an outage, interact with the fuse box located to the right of the front door.
• Find four batteries: one in the bathroom cabinet, one in the kitchen near the sink, one in the living room in front of the radio, and one inside the fridge. After collecting the fridge battery, pick up fallen magnets and place them back on the fridge.
• Place the batteries in the machine, indicated by blinking red lights, in the following locations: under the portable TV, under the right side of the console, in the center of the console, and on the right side of the console.
• Push the power button and stand on the portal pad again.
