In the colorful world ofInfinity Nikki, Papergames’ latest gacha sensation, players are channeling an unlikely source of inspiration:Dark Souls. But don’t worry, they’re not suddenly donning armor and rolling around—instead, they’re embracing the spirit of jolly cooperation through an ingenious use of the game’s photo mode.
It seems the fashionistas of Miraland have stumbled upon their own version ofDark Souls‘ iconic bloodstain mechanic. Instead of warning fellow players about impending doom, however, these snapshots are guiding them towards hidden treasures and puzzle solutions. Who knew haute couture and hardcore gaming had so much in common?
When fashion meets phantoms: ADark Souls-inspired revelation
Just asDark Soulsplayers can witness the final moments of fallen warriors through bloodstains,Infinity Nikki‘s “Snapshot Hourglass” feature is being used to guide players through their own challenging moments. Instead of showing how not to die, though, these glowing markers are showing exactly where to find those frustratingly well-hidden Whimstars.
The community’s reaction to this clever use of the snapshot feature has been overwhelmingly positive, with players quick to recognize its brilliant simplicity:
It’s a fascinating evolution of what was likely intended as just a simple photo-sharing feature.

While you won’t find any“Amazing chest ahead”or“Try tongue but hole”messages in Miraland, these helpful snapshots serve the same noble purpose as those cryptic messages inFromSoftwaregames—helping fellow players overcome challenges.
And helpful it is indeed. In a world where most games struggle to foster positive player interactions, this organic evolution of a simple feature is nothing short of remarkable.
Creating a new tradition in Miraland
The beauty of this emerging trend lies in how perfectly it fits withinInfinity Nikki’s world while drawing inspiration from such a drastically different game. Players encountering these helpful snapshots are finding their frustrating treasure hunts transformed into moments of relief:
What’s even more heartening is seeing how this practice is spreading throughout the community. Players who have benefited from these helpful snapshots are paying it forward:
Just asDark Soulsveterans leave messages to guide (or occasionally mislead) new players,Infinity Nikki‘s fashion-forward community is creating its own tradition of helping hands. However, instead of warning about impending dragon attacks or precarious ledges, these snapshots ensure no Whimstar goes unfound.

It’s a testament to how gaming communities can take simple features and transform them into powerful tools for cooperation. Who would have thought thata mechanic born in the brutal world ofDark Soulswould find new life in a fashion-focused gacha game? Then again, perhapsfashion soulswere the true endgame all along.
