## About Mitoza

Mitoza, developed by Gal Mamalya and published by Second Maze, describes itself as a toy rather than a game: a surreal, absurdist micro-adventure from the Rusty Lake family where players guide a seed through bizarre branching scenarios via simple binary choices. Binary-choice branching, a multi-ending system, and evolving visual vignettes lead to 81 different endings. The free 2021 release runs Steam Deck Playable. Across 1,724 Steam reviews it holds roughly 96% positive. Reviewers describe 81 endings unfolding from simple choices, absurd humor that blends gore and cuteness, and a surreal interactive cartoon that loops back to its origin. The mood reads as dark and whimsical in this short, single-player toy.
