Inzoi’s unique karma system can transform cities into actual ghost towns that players must purify, according to the game director: “When the city becomes overrun with ghosts, new Zois will cease to emerge.”

Beautifully realistic life sim Inzoi is nearly here and we’re learning more every week about features as its game director Hyungjun Kim shares plans with fans. In a recent interview from the newest issue of the PC Gamer magazine, Kim goes even deeper into one of its less realistic elements, the karma system, where things can get really out of hand if your Zois are too evil.

“Each time a Zoi performs an action, karma points are accumulated,” Kim explained. “Upon death, a karma evaluation determines the state of the soul. If the score is too low, the Zoi becomes a ghost and must redeem their karma points before they can transition into a new life.”
