InZOI Abandons Explicit Sex Scenes

The lead developers of the eagerly awaited life simulation game, inZOI, recently engaged with fans and provided some intriguing, albeit cryptic, responses to their queries. One of the most talked-about topics was the inclusion of sexual intercourse in the game. The assistant director, in a masterclass of vagueness, managed to address the subject without ever using the word "sex." Essentially, the response hinted that when a male ZOI and a female ZOI retreat to bed together, their intention to create children is implied, but the visual representation of this act is left to the player's imagination.

This left fans puzzled and unsure about the approach to depicting such interactions. It remains unclear whether inZOI will adopt a censorship method similar to that seen in The Sims series or if it will introduce a new approach altogether.

Another point of interest was the developers' decision for ZOIs to shower while wearing towels instead of using pixelated censorship. The reasoning behind this choice was twofold. Firstly, it aligns better with games featuring a more cartoonish art style, while pixelation in a game with realistic graphics can come across as overly sexualized. Secondly, the developers encountered a technical issue where pixelated censorship failed to appear in reflections when a naked ZOI approached a mirror.

For those seeking clarity, the game's ratings provide some insight. inZOI has been rated T for Teens by the ESRB and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating. These ratings mirror those assigned to The Sims 4, offering a benchmark for what players can expect in terms of content.
