Being rather creepy makes the games quite niche, but there's a dedicated fanbase for the games who find them quite amusing.
With Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory coming soon, NISA has released a mini-application to the iOS app store to help promote the game. It's free to download, and features two of the game's girls (Neptune and Noire). Most of the time they'll just stand there looking at you, though the app uses your iPhone's calendar and alarm clock functions too.
It's also possible to buy a couple of additional features via DLC. There's extra costumes (bikini, naturally, costs more), additional voices and a minigame whereby you need to check in on your girl each day to fill up a "like" meter. It's also possible to take some photos with the girls and post them up to Twitter.
Surprise, surprise, this app isn't for everyone (or, well, most people), but it's amusing, and it's nice to see more developers supporting their console game releases with iOS marketing applications. This one is certainly cuter than that ZombiU app.

LOL - was this post in response to my other comment? :) Funny though since I liked the first game (haven't gotten the 2nd yet)
You really should try the second. It's *that* much better.
This sounds somewhat similar to an Atelier Meruru app I downloaded a couple years back (before the Japanese release I think). Right down to the awkward staring and gyroscope tilting. This one is actually in English, though.
I guess these free clocks are a relatively effective way to promote games. They seem to be a "thing" on iOS (even outside of the gaming realm).
I just checked out the Meruru one.
The main difference between the two, I guess, is that Hyperdimension is official, and Meruru seems to be a third-party outsourced app. But yeah, the effect is the same.
Thanks for finding me another clock, lol. So downloading this now.
