InZOI Drops Explicit Sex Scenes

The developers of the upcoming life simulation game, inZOI, recently addressed fan questions, notably one regarding the depiction of intimate relationships. The assistant director's response, while avoiding the word "sex," left players uncertain about the game's mechanics. Essentially, the implication is that romantic interactions between ZOI characters of opposite genders leading to the bedroom suggest a desire for children, but the visual representation is left to the player's interpretation. The statement hinted at a nuanced approach, differing from initial expectations.

Therefore, the level of explicit content remains unclear, leaving open the question of whether inZOI will employ censorship similar to The Sims series or adopt a novel approach.

The developers also explained the decision to depict ZOIs showering in towels rather than using pixelated censorship. They argued this approach is more suitable for the game's cartoonish art style, as pixelation in a realistic style can appear overly sexualized. Furthermore, a technical issue concerning reflections in mirrors when using pixelated censorship contributed to this design choice.

Ultimately, the game's rating provides the clearest answer. inZOI has received an ESRB rating of T (Teen) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating, mirroring the ratings of The Sims 4.
