A life simulator by KRAFTON and a competitor to The Sims series. inZOI allows us to create or own character and then lead them through everyday life - we need to take care of work, hobbies, relationships and needs. The game features graphics of extremely high quality.
inZOI is a life simulator that competes with Paralives. The development was handled by the South Korean company KRAFTON.
Gameplay
In inZOI we watch the action from various angles. Most often we ire events from a bird's eye view, but at any moment we can zoom in the camera and lower its position.
Character creator and building tools
We start the game by creating a character - we can decide not only about their gender and appearance, but also pick personality traits. After our character is ready we must choose the city where we will live. There are available locations from all over the world - from Asia to North America. Finally, we decide on one of the available houses or apartments.
Given that our new home most often will not meet our expectations, we need to devote some time to furnishing and decorating it with the items we like. The game allows us not only to choose from ready-made furniture, but also to assemble it ourselves from available elements. There's also a unique function based on the "prompts" we enter - it generates textures with a given theme, and then allows to cover walls and floors with them. Apart from that, we can modify the layout of the rooms, place windows and doors ourselves, or even add something to our house.
Life simulation, relations with NPCs
Once we have a place to live, we can finally focus on our virtual life. Similar to other games of this type, our characters have to go to work (it's up to us to decide which career path they choose) and we must satisfy their various needs (they have to cook, eat, exercise, clean or take care of personal hygiene). The game allows to automate certain aspects of their lives, so they can visit specific locations (like the office, shop or park) according to the schedule set by us.
The relationships with other characters also play an important role in the game. The protagonist can make friends and attend social gatherings and parties, or on the contrary - make enemies, and even participate in fights. We can also meet the love of our life in the game and have offspring. As is commonly known, having children does not necessarily mean giving up pleasures, but we still have to devote as much time as possible to them (and above all - get up early in the morning, because that's what responsibility entails).
Graphics
Unlike The Sims series, inZOI focuses on realistic, detailed graphics.
Creative Studio
The authors of the game released an extensive character creator before the premiere of inZOI. It's called Creative Studio and it's offered for free, working as a demo of what the full game will offer. The tool gained great popularity on Steam, although it was available for a limited time.

Gamepressure Review
inZOI
Overall, inZOI is a really good life sim. With potential to be one of the best. It's not there yet, but that's a matter of time. And Krafton actually listens to the community, so I have no doubts this game will be a gem in its final form.


Game Rant: 9 / 10 by Dalton Cooper
InZOI is a worthy competitor to The Sims that is wildly entertaining even in its early access state.

NoobFeed: 70 / 100 by Asura Kagawa
InZOI is an innovative take and has the potential to be the greatest life simulation game ever. Fans of The Sims or the genre will undoubtedly love it, but if you're looking for a fully polished game, it may be best to wait for the final release.
