Summary
- Infinity Nikki players are using the Snapshot feature as a Dark Souls-esque message system to guide others towards tricky hidden objects.
- It’s even been used to give away answers to puzzles, as Infinity Nikki proves you can’t beat a bit of jolly cooperation.
If you really think about it, Infinity Nikki and Dark Souls have quite a lot in common. Sure, you won’t find an Asylum Demon or Ceaseless Discharge while playing Infinity Nikki, or an adorable little anime girl in a pink dress while playing Dark Souls, but both fanbases have a strong sense for fashion and like to engage in a bit of jolly cooperation.
Infinity Nikki doesn’t have very robust multiplayer – not yet anyway – and the only way you can really interact with other players is via the Pear-Pal, or the Snapshot feature, which lets you take group photos without being in each other’s world. However, this feature has proven a lot more cooperative than developer Infold Games probably intended.
Infinity Nikki Fans Are Sharing Dark Souls-Esque Messages To Find Hidden Stars
When placing down a Snapshot, players can pose and leave messages for each other, which is meant to be used as a bit of lovely little communication between strangers. Of course, how it’s meant to be used is often not how it’s actually used, and as spotted by PC Gamer, a lot of fans have been using Snapshots to guide other players towards hidden objects and give away answers to puzzles.

Infinity Nikki’s Menus Clash With Its Cosiness
Infinity Nikki has huge casual appeal, but an overabundance of menus will put players off.
For example, Reddit user Goodpeoplemakemehappy took to the game’s subreddit to thank a player who had guided them towards an infamous hidden star on a towel rack, by taking a Snapshot and posing towards its position. Another example shared by PC Gamer is someone who has used the caption on the Snapshot to give away the answer to one of Aventura’s pop quizzes.
It’s an ingenious bit of tomfoolery that is actually helping quite a few people, though it’s unsurprising that Infinity Nikki’s systems are already being exploited, given the game has already hit a whopping 10 million downloads. That’s a lot of people to engage in some jolly cooperation with. Solaire would be proud.
