inZOI Teases Plans for Karma System and Ghost Zois

inZOI's Upcoming Karma System and Ghostly Encounters

inZOI game director Hyungjun Kim recently revealed intriguing details about a planned Karma system, introducing a paranormal element to the game's realistic setting. 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 will linger as ghosts until they atone. The specific actions required to restore Karma remain undisclosed.

Kim assures players that ghost interactions will be carefully balanced to avoid overshadowing core gameplay, remaining a supplementary, engaging experience. Currently, interactions with ghost Zois are limited to specific times and conditions.

While inZOI prioritizes realism, Kim expressed interest in incorporating more fantasy elements in the future. He believes that these occasional departures from the game's core realism can enhance the overall experience.

A Glimpse into Karma Interactions

A sponsored video by MadMorph offered a brief preview of the Karma Interaction system. This feature presents players with a range of actions, both positive and negative, impacting their Karma score. The video showcased a humorous negative interaction (secretly farting on another Zoi), while positive actions like "Throw Away Trash" or "Like a Friend’s Post" were mentioned but not demonstrated.

While the Early Access version (releasing on Steam March 28, 2025) focuses on the living Zois, the Karma Interaction system promises greater significance in future updates.
