inZOI Director Teases a Karma System

Deceased Zois Transforms into Ghosts, Depending on their Karma Points

On February 7, 2025, inZOI game director Hyungjun Kim shared exciting news on Discord about a new Karma system. This system will transform deceased Zois into ghosts based on their accumulated Karma points.

Despite the game's focus on realism, Kim introduces a fascinating paranormal twist with the Karma system and ghostly presence. He explains, "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." However, the specific actions needed to restore these points remain undisclosed.

Kim further emphasized that the team aims to keep ghost interactions "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." During the Early Access phase, players will be able to engage in special conversations with ghost Zois "at set times under certain conditions."

"While we’re committed to refining the realistic elements of inZOI first, I’d love to explore more fantasy-driven elements in the future," Kim shared. "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 various content creators to showcase the game through sponsored videos. Among them, MadMorph offered a sneak peek at inZOI’s Karma system.

At the fifteen-minute mark of MadMorph’s inZOI video, he briefly demonstrated a feature called Karma Interactions. This option presents a range of actions that can either increase or decrease Karma points. For example, MadMorph’s character performed a mischievous act by secretly farting on another Zoi's face, which elicited a reaction from the NPC. Positive actions like "Throw Away Trash" or "Like a Friend’s post" are also available, though not shown in the video.

Although Kim clarified that the Early Access version of the game will focus solely on "gameplay while the Zois are still alive," the Karma Interactions feature promises more impact in future updates. Fans eager to explore inZOI will have less than six weeks to wait, as the game is set to launch in Early Access on Steam on March 28, 2025.
