Changing the time of dayin Infinity Nikkiusually happens automatically for quests, but you may need to know how to set the time in case something goes wrong, or if you want the perfect time of day for your photo.

Passing time isn’t as easy as moving the hands on the dial, as you’ll have to play a flapping mini-game (or you can skip it, but where’s the fun in that).Here’s how to change the time of day in Infinity Nikki.

How to change time of day in Infinity Nikki

To change the time of day in Infinity Nikki, you’ll need to receive your Pear-Pal device from Dada in Florawish as part of the main quest line. Reaching this point can take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes.

After you received the Pear-Pal, follow these steps to pass time:

Open the Pear-Pal by pressing the “Escape” button on PC, “Start” button on console, or the dedicated button in the top-left corner of the screen.Select the “Run, Pear-Pal” button to see the current time in-game at the top and the desired time in-game at the bottom.Drag the circle embedded with arrows around the clock to your desired time.Select the “Confirm” button to initiate a mini-game. You can skip this mini-game entirely by selecting the “Skip” button underneath the “Confirm” button.Play through the mini-game or press “Escape” on PC or “Start” on console to skip it.

If you do decide to play the mini-game, your score will not effect what time it becomes, so enjoy the mini-game and try to set a high score!

You can either pass time in 30-minute incrementsor set the time to a period of day: day, dusk, night, sunup, and dawn.

The furthest you can skip ahead is 24 hours, so if you do want to go farther than that, you’ll need to re-open the “Run, Pear-Pal” app and pass time again.
