The developers of the upcoming life simulation game, inZOI, recently addressed fan questions regarding intimate interactions. When asked about the inclusion of sexual content, the assistant director offered a deliberately ambiguous response, avoiding explicit terminology. Essentially, the implication is that romantic interactions between male and female ZOIs leading to procreation will occur, but the visual representation will be left largely to the player's interpretation.
The developers suggest the depiction will be present, but not in the manner some players anticipated.
Currently, the level of explicitness remains uncertain; whether inZOI will employ censorship similar to The Sims series or adopt a novel approach is still unclear.
The developers also explained the decision to depict ZOIs showering in towels instead of using pixelated censorship. They stated 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 involving reflections in mirrors further complicated the use of pixelated censorship.
The game's rating provides further insight. The ESRB has assigned a T (Teen) rating, and a PEGI 12 rating is anticipated—mirroring the ratings of The Sims 4.
