How to Play Infinity Nikki on PC

I’ve fallen into the magical world of Infinity Nikki and I don’t want to leave. Infinity Nikki is not my typical type of game, but here I am, enjoying the enchanting world of Miraland. Infinity Nikki is a free-to-play, open-world, cozy fashion RPG. This magical world will draw you in and keep you warm and cozy as you save the world through the magic of fashion. Infinity Nikki is the second gacha game I enjoy playing.

How to Play Infinity Nikki

First things first, make sure you have Infinity Nikki installed on your PC. You can download Infinity Nikki from the official website, the Epic Store, or on mobile. Once installed, launch the game and get ready to step into the magical world of Miraland.

Know the Basic Controls

Understanding the basic controls is key to navigating Infinity Nikki smoothly. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Movement: Use the WASD keys to move Nikki around.

  • Camera Control: Move your mouse to adjust the camera angle.

  • Jump: Press the Spacebar to jump. Hold it to float.

  • Interact: Press the F key to interact with objects and NPCs.

  • Inventory: Press the B key to open your Bag where your inventory is stored.

  • Heart of Infinity: Press I to open Heart of Infinity to acquire sketches you’ve unlocked.

  • Map: Press the M key to open the map.

Pay attention when completing the tutorial quests because you will need those skills. After completing the tutorial, you will be able to find most of your objectives (i.e. Wardrobe, Sketches, Courses, etc.) by pressing ESC.

Main Quest and Exploration

Start with the main quest to get a feel for the game. The main quest will guide you through the basics of exploration and collecting outfits. Follow the quest markers and complete tasks to progress through the story. Then the end of the first main quest will unlock Photo Mode, which will give you access to both camera photos and screenshots.

Exploration of Miraland is a big part of Infinity Nikki. As you discover and explore different regions, you’ll encounter many NPCs, hidden treasures, and crafting materials. Make sure to interact with everything you come across to gather resources and unlock new outfits.

Collecting Outfits

The premise of Infinity Nikki is collecting outfits. It sounds simple, but it’s much deeper than that. Each outfit has its own theme and stats and can be leveled up to improve Nikki’s abilities. Here’s how you can collect and upgrade outfits:

  • Outfit Sets: Each outfit belongs to a set. Collect all pieces of a set to complete it and earn additional rewards.

  • Stats and Themes: Outfits have different stats like Elegant, Fresh, Sweet, Sexy, and Cool. These stats are important for styling challenges.

  • Glow Up: Use Blings, Shiny Bubbles, and Threads of Purity to level up your outfits. Prioritize leveling up outfits you use frequently in challenges.

  • Evolve Outfits: Collect duplicates of an outfit set to evolve it into a recolored version with enhanced stats.

Crafting and Gathering

Crafting is another important aspect of Infinity Nikki. You’ll need to gather materials from various locations to craft new outfits and items. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Gathering Materials: Explore the world to find materials like fabrics, threads, and dyes. These can be found in chests, dropped by enemies, or given as quest rewards.

  • Crafting Stations: Visit crafting stations in towns to create new outfits and items. Make sure you have the required materials before you start crafting.

  • Fishing and Bug-Catching: Engage in activities like fishing and bug-catching to gather rare materials. These activities are not only fun but also rewarding.

Styling Challenges

Styling challenges are a fun way to test your fashion skills. In these challenges, you’ll need to dress Nikki in outfits that match specific themes and criteria. Here’s how to excel in styling challenges:

  • Theme Matching: Pay attention to the theme of the challenge and choose outfits that match the required stats.

  • Level Up Outfits: Use the Glow Up feature to level up your outfits and increase their stats.

  • Experiment: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find the best outfit for each challenge.

Accessing Photo Mode

Capturing your favorite moments in Infinity Nikki is easy with the photo mode. Here’s how you can access photo mode on your PC or laptop:

  1. Open Photo Mode: After unlocking Photo Mode by completing the main quest Land of Wishes, press the P key to enter photo mode. This will pause the game and allow you to take screenshots. To take regular screenshots in Infinity Nikki, press F12.

  2. Adjust Settings: Use the on-screen controls to adjust the camera angle, zoom, and filters. You can also change Nikki’s pose and expressions to create the perfect shot.

  3. Take the Photo: Once you’re happy with the settings, press the Capture button to take the photo. The photo will be saved automatically.

Where Photos Are Saved

Photos are saved in the Photos folder, which is located in the Pictures directory. You can access this folder by navigating to Pictures > Photos. If you have Infinity Nikki saved to a different drive than C:\, then your photos will be saved in the Infinity Nikki folder and will look something like this: D:\InfinityNikkiGlobal\X6Game\ScreenShot

Infinity Nikki is a relaxing yet engaging fashion RPG that combines the joy of outfit collection with fun challenges and creative freedom.
