Dive into the mystical world of inZOI as game director Hyungjun Kim unveils plans for a Karma system and the introduction of ghost Zois. Discover how this unique paranormal game mechanic will enhance your gaming experience!

inZOI Director Teases a Karma System

On February 7, 2025, inZOI's game director, Hyungjun Kim, shared exciting news on Discord about a Karma system that transforms deceased Zois into ghosts based on their Karma points. This intriguing addition blends realism with the supernatural, offering a fresh twist to the gameplay.

Kim explained, "If a Zoi dies with enough karma points, they move on to the afterlife, but those who don’t make the cut have to remain as ghosts until they restore sufficient karma points." While the exact methods to restore karma remain under wraps, the concept promises to add depth and intrigue to the game.

To maintain the game's focus, Kim stated that "we want to keep the playability of ghosts fairly limited so it doesn’t overshadow the main gameplay, but we also want to make sure the experience is engaging enough when it does happen." In the Early Access version, interactions with ghost Zois will be restricted to special conversations at specific times and under certain conditions.

Kim also expressed his vision for the future, saying, "While we’re committed to refining the realistic elements of inZOI first, I’d love to explore more fantasy-driven elements in the future. Occasionally stepping away from the game's native, ultra-realistic setting could add an extra layer of fun to our simulation of this vast and complex concept we call life!"

inZOI Karma Interaction Briefly Revealed

In August 2024, inZOI's publisher, Krafton Inc., collaborated with content creators, including MadMorph, to showcase the game through sponsored videos. MadMorph's video provided a sneak peek at the Karma system, particularly the "Karma Interactions" feature.

Around the fifteen-minute mark of the video, MadMorph demonstrated how Zois can engage in actions that affect their Karma points. These actions range from mischievous deeds, such as secretly farting on another Zoi's face, to positive actions like "Throw Away Trash" or "Like a Friend’s post." Although these positive actions weren't showcased in the video, they highlight the variety of ways players can influence their Karma.

While the Early Access version, set to release on Steam on March 28, 2025, will focus on gameplay with living Zois, Kim assured that the Karma Interactions will play a more significant role in future updates. Fans eager to explore this innovative system will have less than six weeks to wait before diving into the world of inZOI.
