InZOI Abandons Explicit Sex Scenes

The lead developers of the eagerly awaited life simulation game, inZOI, recently engaged with fans, addressing various queries. One particularly intriguing topic was the depiction of sexual intercourse in the game. The assistant director provided a response that left many players puzzled. Without directly mentioning the word "sex," the explanation was somewhat ambiguous, leaving much to the imagination. Essentially, the message conveyed was that if a male ZOI and a female ZOI were to share a bed, the implication would be that they are attempting to procreate. However, the visual representation of this act would be left up to the player's interpretation.

This response suggests that inZOI might adopt a similar approach to The Sims series, where such activities are implied rather than explicitly shown, though it remains uncertain if this will be the case. The developers are potentially exploring a new method of handling these sensitive topics within the game.

Another topic of interest was the choice of ZOIs showering in towels instead of using pixelated censorship. The developers explained that this design choice aligns better with games featuring a more cartoonish aesthetic, whereas in a game striving for realism like inZOI, pixelation might come across as overly sexualized. Moreover, they encountered a technical issue where pixelated censorship failed to appear in reflections when a naked ZOI approached a mirror, further justifying their decision to opt for towels.

For clarity on these matters, one can refer to the game's ratings provided by relevant organizations. inZOI has been rated ESRB - T (for teens) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating, mirroring the ratings assigned to The Sims 4. These ratings offer insight into the game's content, suggesting a level of maturity that aligns with teenage audiences.
