inZOI Teases Plans for Karma System and Ghost Zois

inZOI's Upcoming Karma System and Ghostly Encounters

inZOI game director Hyungjun Kim recently unveiled plans for a unique Karma system, introducing a paranormal element to the game's realistic simulation. This system will determine the fate of deceased Zois, transforming them into ghosts based on their accumulated Karma points.

High Karma Zois will transition to the afterlife, while those with insufficient points linger as ghosts, tasked with restoring their Karma to move on. The exact methods for restoring Karma remain undisclosed.

Kim assures players that ghost interactions will be carefully balanced to avoid overshadowing core gameplay. In the Early Access release, these interactions will be limited to specific times and circumstances, primarily involving unique conversations.

While inZOI prioritizes realism, Kim expresses interest in exploring more fantastical elements in the future. He believes that these elements could enhance the game's overall experience.

A Glimpse into Karma Interactions

A sponsored video by content creator MadMorph offered a brief preview of the Karma Interaction system. This system allows players to perform various actions, both positive and negative, impacting their Karma score. MadMorph demonstrated a humorous negative interaction (secretly farting on another Zoi), while positive options like "Throw Away Trash" or "Like a Friend’s Post" were mentioned but not shown.

While the Early Access version focuses on the living Zois, the Karma Interaction system promises a more significant role in future updates.

inZOI's Early Access launch on Steam is scheduled for March 28, 2025, offering players a chance to experience this unique simulation and anticipate the full impact of the Karma system.
