Why Is Infinity Nikki TAKING OFF?

In our AAA console gaming bubble, the Nikki franchise hasn't made too many waves, to the extent that many might not have even been aware of its existence. For about a decade, the Nikki games have been an exclusively mobile-oriented affair, which, combined with their nature as dress-up games, meant that even though the audience that they targeted has only grown larger with time, there hasn't been too much overlap with the console gaming sphere.

Developer Infold Games' goal was to change that with Infinity Nikki, the fifth instalment in the series and the first to be released on PC and console- and all early indications seem to be pointing to the studio having successfully pulled it off. As we approached Infinity Nikki's launch at the tail end of 2024, the game was amassing increasing excitement and anticipation, and now that audiences have managed to dive in and get a taste of its offerings, it's clear that whatever it is that the game has going on has got its claws sunk deep into the masses already, which only spells good things for its future (for now, at the very least).
