Curious, for those that came from older Nikki games, what's different with Infinity Nikki? Do you like the big change into the 3D/Open World (I believe past ones weren't like this)

I watch my wife play every day, sometimes ill join for the hard parts but it blows my mind that this went from a 2D Mobile game to what it is now (3D open world), reminds me when when I went from playing Grand Theft Auto 1 & 2 in 2D (1990's~), to transitioning into GTA3, it was an amazing experience, especially keeping nearly everything the 2D version had (feel, style, humor, etc).

So curious about old school Nikki players! Everything you hoped for? Anything you wished it had/didn't have? Is it more or less addicting?

Also is the story/main missions the same vibe? Like was the past games all built around styling challenges/dance offs, or mostly focused on just outfits and dresses? I'm sure I could watch some YouTube videos on this, but would love to hear from Redditors
