inZOI Launches in Steam Early Access: Build Careers, Form Relationships, and Change Characters' Fates

The life simulator inZOI, based on Unreal Engine 5, has launched in Steam Early Access. To celebrate, the developers released a short video featuring dancing characters.

Players can drive vehicles, transfer their facial expressions to characters via smartphone camera, and turn any objects from photos and images into furniture or accessories.

"The distinctive feature of inZOI is the simulation of a fully functional community where characters, known as Zois, live their lives as they wish," the description states.

Other features include the Smart ZOI function, which grants each NPC an "AI consciousness." The current version includes two cities, along with the ability to go to work and build relationships.

inZOI offers freedom of choice: players can be law-abiding citizens or criminals.

inZOI is available for purchase on Steam for $40. Early Access will last for at least a year. The developers noted that "the current version includes most of the foundational systems."
