Infinity Nikki, the visually impressive, open-world dress-up game that came out late last year, continues to grow with new updates. The game’s latest, arriving this Friday, June 13, is one of its biggest, kicking off a new seasonal chapter.
The Playful Season transforms the in-game city, and introduces some new story content, new outfits, new puzzles, minigames, and more.
The Playful Season (Version 1.6) sees Infinity Nikki’s protagonists, Nikki and Momo, turned into fairies after encountering a cursed fairy apprentice in need of help. To lift the spell, the pair set off on a quest to explore a storybook-like realm with new challenges.
At the core of this update are three new interactive attractions. There’s a photographable sky path where everyone can float in the air, and a pumpkin-shaped ride that’s made up of elevated, winding tracks. Then there’s the rotund chicken trampoline, which makes different sounds depending on where you bounce on it.
This update will require players to use their heads, too, because there’s a series of seven maze challenges to solve. Your goal in each one is the same: find the petrified animals hidden within to reveal the path forward.
You’ll find five new ability outfits in the Playful Season, too. Enchanted Encounter is a five-star outfit that causes nearby animals to float. There are two four-star outfits here as well: the Comic-Style Prince Outfit, and Cloud-Summoning Outfit. Finally, two more limited-time outfits will make a return from previous seasons, one five-star and the other four.
As far as new decoration items, you’ll find a new rocking horse Nikki can sit on, as well as a potion cauldron that releases plumes of smoke depending on the ingredients you toss into it. While all of that sounds good, it remains to be seen whether it’s going to be enough for players. The game currently sits at a Mostly Negative overall Steam review rating, so there’s clearly a lot that needs to be addressed.
