Nikki's Home

**Nikki's Home** is a location where the player can visit Nikki in her home and interact with her. This is the primary place to raise the player's Bond with Nikki.

The player can interact with her by engaging in conversations with her or tapping on her to receive a response. Depending upon what Nikki is doing at the time, she may have different dialogue for and reactions to the player. The player can usually zoom in on Nikki or have the camera stay from afar.

Nikki almost always lounges around in the Nikki's Homewear set. She may occasionally take off her slippers when doing random activities like exercising and during these periods her slippers are nowhere to be seen. She may change her clothes during specific situations, such as wearing the Voice of Desire set during the first conversation with Nikki.

Nikki moves around her house and even leaves every now and then, so the player must catch her at the right times to interact with her. Momo also apparently resides in this home.

There are various activities and features found within Nikki's home, including shopping for gifts and snacks, checking old Mementos, and dealing with Design Notes.

## Layout

The player cannot normally access other areas of the house unless Nikki moves to them, which she does at her own leisure.

It is permanently daytime within Nikki's home. The lighting of the room may differ depending upon whether or not the player is zoomed in or out.

### Living Room

By default, the player will be able to see Nikki's living room whenever they enter Nikki's home or even during conversations. Nikki's home can be seen from slightly different angles depending upon whether Nikki is present and doing an activity, such as eating ketchup chips or reading a novel.

The TV may flash whatever shows Nikki is currently watching. If Nikki is not using the TV, it is turned off by default.

One of the pillows on her living room TV couch has words written on it. These words can partially be seen when zooming in on Nikki during one of her activities.

### Bedroom

Nikki's bedroom is connected to her living and can occasionally be seen in the background when the player zooms in on a living room shot.

Her bedroom utilizes soft warm colors, including tan walls and darker tan flooring. Her windows let in much light and have a muted purple outline with transparent pulled back curtains. Outside greenery partially blocks the view outside some windows and other buildings can vaguely be seen in the background. There is a short potted plant in-between two of the windows.

Nikki's bed is made for two people. It is implied elsewhere in the game that Nikki may cuddle with her cat Momo while sleeping. The bed frame is a white with a very light lavender tint. The mattress is barely visible beneath the covers, appearing a slightly darker white. The bed sheets are mostly lavender but are a dark gray near the top. Nikki has four pillows, two on each side of the bed. The pillows are stacked up in pairs, with the bottom being white and the top being purple. The blanket is pink and sometimes strewn across the floor. There is a short pink rug near the side of the bed. If Nikki is in bed, her purple slippers can be found upon this rug. These slippers are different from the Cozy Pink Slippers she typically wears.

There is a short table next to her bed that holds a few books. Her white desk and chair can be seen near the front of the screen, facing away from the bed with two books on the table.

## Activities

Nikki can be found doing random **activities** around her house. Most of these activities will often not involve the usage of any gift or snack and will give no benefits to the player. However, some items found in the shop do trigger these random activities, such as the bag of ketchup chips allowing the player to see Nikki watch a variety show while eating.

If the player waits long enough, Nikki may automatically talk about whatever she is doing. Some responses are cut off because the text runs by quickly and closes automatically. These lines of text will have no dialogue but some voice acting in the background.

Tapping on Nikki while she's lounging around her house may either incite a reaction or a short response. Tapping Nikki typically bothers her unless she gives a short response to the player but there is no penalty for this.

Most activities only last about 30 minutes. After on activity ends, Nikki may re-engage in that same activity right after.

A magnifying glass icon may appear over Nikki's head, indicating that the player can zoom in on her. The player may zoom in and out of some scenes, but not all. Nikki's text can be read while zoomed in or out, and her animations play the same.

## Bond

**Bond** is a form of measurement for the closeness between Nikki and the player. The player's Bond with Nikki can primarily be increased in Nikki's home by buying Nikki gifts and snacks, as well as participating in conversations with her.

By increasing the player's Bond with Nikki, the player may receive stat bonuses for their Styling Power.

## Conversations

**Conversations** with Nikki can be randomly unlocked when the player visits Nikki's home. During this time there will be a particular icon over Nikki's head (changing depending upon the conversation) and the player can tap the screen to have a conversation with her.

These icons can be an ellipses, an opened book, a dress, or a heart inside a cube. The first indicates ordinary conversations, the second indicates conversations related to the main story, the third indicates a conversation about clothes (typically after the player completes a set), and it is unknown what the fourth indicates.

There is another icon which appears as a pink bubble with pink ellipses inside. However, this only gives short dialogue and not a full conversation, with Nikki's comments often relating to the current real world time. This includes messages such as:

* "Got any plans for the afternoon [dialogue cuts off]
* "Good afternoon."
* "Do you take afternoon naps a lot, [player]?"
* "Good evening."
* "Good evening. Are you home now?"
* "Wanna grab dinner together?"
* "Let's go for a walk after dinner [dialogue cuts off]"

Conversations are typically done one-on-one between Nikki and the player with a few rare interjections from Momo. Nikki may change her outfit depending upon the conversation, especially if the conversation is prompted after the completion of a clothing set. Nikki uses different animations during the conversation while talking.

Some conversations can raise bond level by 10, offer mementos, and award the player with different gifts like Melody of Time or Roaming Stars. Increases to bond level and items may be awarded near the end of the conversation or once the conversation has ended.

Most of these conversations will not offer voice acting.

See Conversations for more.

## Mementos

**Mementos** are items that can be collected by participating in certain conversations with Nikki. Not all conversations will grant Mementos and some conversations may not initially grant a Memento, but will do so in a later chat.

There are currently 25 Memento conversations in the game. The same conversation can offer different Mementos, depending upon the player's choices within the conversation. Once a Memento is obtained, the slot it occupies will be renamed to the Memento's name. For example, the "No more bad mood" Memento slot will be renamed "Frazzled lion" if the player obtains that Memento.

As with other Nikki conversations, Memento conversations may award the player with Bond +10. They may also unlock new casual dialogue when Nikki speaks on the Main Menu screen or they may unlock new conversations in Nikki's home. Mementos also lead to new posts on Moments.

Mementos conversations typically include voice acting.

### Reviewing Mementos

If the player receives a Memento, they can revisit the conversation later by visiting the Memento tab, selecting any Memento that has been collected, and pressing the "Review" button. They may visit the other dialogue options not chosen. The collected Memento will display the date it was collected in the bottom right corner of its picture.

Depending upon the conversation's dialogue tree, the player may receive **new** rewards (including Bond +10 and other items) upon choosing different dialogue options, although this is rare and the player cannot receive any items they have already obtained. Nikki may even give the player a **new** Memento upon choosing different options, but only if the new Memento occupies a different slot and doesn't replace the original slot. Going through different dialogue branches may also prompt new posts on Moments about the conversation topic.

A new Memento gained from reviewing an old Memento conversation can be used to review an entirely new Memento conversation that hasn't been unlocked. For example, if the player participates in the Idol 1 conversation, reviews it later and follows down a dialogue branch to achieve the "Special plum" Memento, they may use that "Special plum" Memento to review the Desserts conversation.

Reviewing Memento conversations and picking different options **will** change dialogue from Nikki in features such as the Main Menu screen.

Mementos cannot be used, only viewed.

## Design Note

Nikki may be given **Design Tools** to trigger mini-events that will yield **Inspiration Shards**.

Unlocking items allows the clothing piece to be crafted in the Workshop. Unlocking does **not** automatically grant the player the item. Instead, there are designated materials that must be gathered to craft the unlocked clothing item, as is the case with other items within the Workshop.

### First Snow

Events:

* Inspiration 1 unlocks Little Painter.
* Inspiration 2 unlocks Pure Happiness and Fluffy Bunny.
* Inspiration 3 unlocks Warm Winter and Rainbow of Time.

## Trivia

* Nikki's home can be used as a background for photos in Camera Mode, and that background can also be set for the Main Menu. However, the lighting, angle, furniture, and decor will be slightly different. For example, there are no transparent curtains in the Camera Mode version and the window frame features more curly patterns.
	+ The Camera Mode version heavily resembles the photo of Nikki's home seen in one of the loading screens, but with very small changes. One notable change includes the loading screen version showing a pair of red high heels upon a stack of boxes, while the Camera Mode lacks these shoes.
* It is unknown where Nikki's home is located within Miraland.
* It is unknown where Momo lives within the house.
* Nikki is the only visible individual within the home, although Momo may appear as an icon.
