Just four days after its launch, the game's download numbers began to fall below the Daily Average.
The peak of the entire cycle occurred on December 3rd, the day of pre-download availability, indicating that after the initial user pre-registrations, "Infinity Nikki" lacked the strong appeal and competitiveness needed to attract more iOS gamers.

After its official launch on December 5th, the app gained 535,458 global users on the App Store within a week, with U.S. users making up the largest portion at 33.04%.

Even after the pre-download period, the game experienced a brief surge, but there was a sharp decline after December 8th.

Social Media Marketinng
Meta Ads
Infinity Nikki began its overseas marketing in August, with an average daily ad volume that was not particularly high, maintaining around 200 pieces of content, including videos and images.
After launch, the ad volume did not increase and remained roughly the same as during the pre-registration period.
Based on Meta Ads Creatives, we analyzed the advertising content for Infinity Nikki.
Among the materials, character costume showcases and story live-action footage make up a significant portion, with the former accounting for about 40% and the latter about 28%. Live-action narration accounts for 18%, and high-energy montage clips make up 14%.
The ad copy frequently uses standard terms like free download, role-playing, puzzle-solving, Infinity Nikki, dress-up, and open world.
It does not prominently highlight features like free draws, draw rewards, login bonuses, or the Nikki IP.
