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 realistic life 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 will linger as ghosts, requiring Karma restoration to move on. The specific actions needed to increase Karma remain undisclosed.

Kim emphasized a balanced approach, stating that ghost interactions will be limited to avoid overshadowing core gameplay, yet remain engaging. Early Access will feature limited ghost interactions, primarily special conversations under specific circumstances.

While prioritizing realism, Kim expressed interest in exploring more fantasy elements in the future, suggesting that the Karma system is a step towards adding unique depth and fun to the simulation.

A Glimpse into Karma Interactions

A sponsored video by MadMorph offered a brief preview of the Karma Interaction system. This system allows Zois to perform actions that impact their Karma score, both positively and negatively. The video showcased a humorous example of a negative interaction (secretly farting on another Zoi's face), while positive actions like "Throw Away Trash" or "Like a Friend’s post" were mentioned but not demonstrated.

While the Early Access release (March 28, 2025 on Steam) will focus on the living Zois, the Karma system promises to significantly expand gameplay in future updates.
