Chinese fans of Infinity Nikki are voicing their frustration over the game’s latest Version 1.5 update, which introduced new monetization tactics that many players deem exploitative.

This version rolled out several features, including a new dye system, enhancements for certain outfits, and the introduction of the Star Sea costume set. However, complaints arose from bugs and the apparent move towards more aggressive monetization strategies by developers Infold.

Players took to the Steam forums, warning potential entrants about their discontent. Various posts, in both Chinese and English, express grievances over the update. One post labeled the game a “fraudulent product” which violates its core promise, citing reasons like “pity system sabotage” and frequent crashes.

Despite Infold’s previous adjustments to unfavorable features, there has been no formal response yet to the vocal outcry.
