Infinity Nikki

Infinity Nikki features "Stylist Duels", where players select outfits based on attributes such as Sweet, Fresh, Elegant, Sexy, and Cool to compete against opponents. Specific attire enables gliding or shrinking to access otherwise unreachable areas. There are also other ability outfits players can wear to trigger skills such as grooming, fishing, and catching bugs. It employs gacha elements, allowing players to acquire clothing items and accessories using in-game currency or microtransactions. The gacha system includes a pity mechanism, guaranteeing a 5-star item after a predetermined number of draws.

Since the 1.5 update, Infinity Nikki allows co-op gameplay for two people.

Infinity Nikki was developed by Chinese company Papergames using Unreal Engine 5 and Silicon Studio's Enlighten, emphasizing detailed visuals, including fabric textures and environmental design. CEO Yao Runhao said the development team included over 1,000 members. Kentaro Tominaga, a former The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild director, is said to have worked on the game from Kyoto.

Shortly after launch, the official website was hacked, displaying messages promoting Genshin Impact and urging harmful actions. The issue was resolved without significant long-term damage.

Infinity Nikki received generally positive reviews from critics. Carli Velocci of IGN praised the game for its extensive content, stating, "It's rare to see a series make such a huge leap, but Infinity Nikki has somehow done so with grace". Jessica Orr of Eurogamer noted that Infinity Nikki is not merely another game inspired by Genshin Impact but surpasses it in many ways, claiming that it "might just replace Genshin as the new standard that future open-world gacha games are compared to". Orr also suggested that the game has the potential to shake up the gacha game industry, much like Genshin Impact did in 2020, adding that miHoYo now faces a formidable competitor.

Similarly, a reviewer from PC Gamer remarked that Infinity Nikki has the potential to stand alongside the biggest names in the gacha genre. Nicole Carpenter of Polygon commended the developers for seamlessly combining the dress-up gameplay and fashion competitions from the franchise with a fantastical world filled with hidden dark secrets. Carpenter highlighted the game's focus on fashion and its lack of violent elements, suggesting it is aimed at a female audience.
