    Story

    The narrative begins with Nikki discovering a magical dress in her mother's attic that transports her to Miraland. Here, clothing wields magical powers used by Stylists. Nikki is tasked with saving the world after receiving the "Heart of Infinity" from Ena the Curator. The story explores themes of wishes and features gods, wars, and mysterious comas tied to the world's lore.

    Design and Development

    • The development team included over 1,000 members and involved Kentaro Tominaga, formerly of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

    Reception

    The game has been praised for its unique blend of dress-up mechanics with open-world gameplay and its visually stunning design. However, it has also faced criticism for its reliance on gacha elements. It has gained popularity globally with over 1 million downloads shortly after release.
