MitaHide

[Mackenzie]

There's a blue soda can "Secret Lame" with a pencil sticking out of it in a usually hidden spot in almost every chapter. It also has a sticky note pinned to it with a heart saying MitaHide.

-What's the deal with these?
-Is there a secret involving these somehow?
-How many have you found?

Google and searching these forums are returning no answers. I've found 13 unique ones on my own so far, but that's it.

I wrote in discussions and guides about this. You can take a look if you're interested (everything is in Russian, sorry)

It's fairly simple to type "secret lame mitahide" into a search.

From another discussion here ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/2527500/discussions/0/575994826399421567/ ):

Вообще это говорит о том, что где бы ты ни прятался, Мита всегда знает где ты находишься, ведь она смотрит через консоль за твоими похождениями и даже вне её, точно также как и игрок через телефон направил миту к себе

Translated: "In general, this suggests that wherever you are hiding, Mita always knows where you are, because she looks through the console at your adventures and even outside it, just like the player sent the mita to himself through the phone"

probably some kind of symbolism to show the player that she was in control all along and that she's toying with u because in the end nothing matters and u cant do anything to change the outcome or whatever so like she probably spawns these to mess with u

HORROR DEVELOPERS ARE REALLY INTO THIS STUFF

I appreciate the responses!

Yeah I tried searching here and on Google like I said, but apparently the terms and keywords I used weren't good enough to procure any results.

However, this information looks like theory crafting unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Is there no canonical information about the purpose or lore, or a list of these somewhere?

I mean that's kind of what we have to do? Much of the game is ambiguous, and it's SUPPOSED to be, and the community is supposed to puzzle out the answers as best they can.

Like at one point in the game, you see an ENORMOUS Crazy Mita, and at another point in the game you see an ENORMOUS Kind Mita. What the hell is going on here? Are there like, Kaiju Mita the same way there are Chibi Mita?

We don't know. The devs probably won't tell us. We just have to like, figure it out.

I see. So the answer to the first two original questions:

-We don't know and can only speculate
-No

Some interesting ideas being talked about though, gotta admit.

Makes you wonder if and when Game Theory may step in and try to cover this game.

But yeah so far in nearly every part of a version there is this soda can. What i also have noticed it that in every version of the game there is this poster of 2D Mita hanging at the kitchen wall what is also strange as it´s the only Mita picture that never changes to the Mita of the version we are in atm.

So either this is just an oversight or also has some meaning we are not aware of. For me those Soda cans only show that Crazy Mita was in the version already at some point and "leave her mark" to show that she keeps the other Mitas in check.

In Milas Version she even says that "she hates Crazy Mita" indicating that before she was killed Crazy Mita was already in her version as well as otherwise she should have no memory of her at all. Or Crazy Mita likes to torture the other Mitas for a while before killing them just to start all over again and so repeat the cycle.

And is it just me, or... does 2D MiSide just NOT HAVE a version? What version is that? We never get one, do we?

I think the reason we don´t know about this is that 2D Mita had our ring during this whole section and so the player could not check the version he was in but considering the progression it was either V1.0 as it takes place between V1.1 (Sleepy Mita) and V1.0F (Mila) OR it simply has no version as it was more of a spinoff from the original series.

What i also noticed is that when we visit V1.5 the 1st time short haired Mita is not there for some reason BUT when we did pick up the 1st fuse from the bathroom and then enter the long hallway short haired Mita is looking from the other side of the door but then goes away.

So she knows the player was in her version but did not want to talk with him for some reason.

I didn't notice that. I did notice someone is waving their hand outside the kitchen window when you go in there the first time. I need to look around that section some more.

You mentioned a giant Kind Mita. I've seen the giant Crazy Mita after the chase hallways, but where is the Kind one?

Actually it turns out they're both Crazy Mita.

Obviously creepy grinning Mita after "The Loop" is Crazy Mita, but this one is... confusing.

You have her chasing you with a chainsaw, and then the chainsaw stops, and IMMEDIATELY she is Kaiju Crazy Mita smashing her hand through the hallway. Like, fraction of a second. It's effectively instant.

It does, however, make marginally more sense than a Kaiju Kind Mita.

[Mackenzie]

I didn't think the one we see while falling from The Loop was giant, but merely a flash of her evil side between the two chapters. I am aware of both of those then, alright. I abused photo mode a lot on my first run to screenshot sudden parts like this, so I knew of it early on.
