In a new Reddit post, user Fun-Mention-7240 shouted out a Steam review made by HenryChewsShoes, who shared an anecdote from their first five hours in InZOI. According to the player, they met a girl in the park and quickly got engaged within an hour of their first date. As happy as this may seem, the user continued, explaining that they received a text message while they were sleeping, sharing that their fiancée had died. Many in the comments section pointed out that unpredictability in a life sim is a positive thing, with others pointing out that InZOI's frequent auto saves make it possible to go back and get a happier ending. In a recent interview, the title's director noted that InZOI's realistic art style posed many unique challenges, with some more comical moments difficult to animate. Thankfully, it seems that humor isn't lacking in Krafton's newest title.

InZOI Player Shares Funny Anecdote Regarding Their In-Game Date

Prior to the game's launch, it was confirmed that InZOI wouldn't feature Denuvo after the controversial anti-tamper software was discovered in a trial version of the title. According to the game's director and producer, the program was initially added to prevent piracy and to stop illegal distribution, but after hefty fan feedback, it was removed. It remains unclear if Denuvo will return in InZOI's full release in the future, but players are hopeful that the developers will continue to listen to feedback from the community.

Krafton recently revealed InZOI's post-launch roadmap, promising a host of free DLC during the life sim's Early Access period, with Kucingku Cat Island scheduled to be released in August 2025. A second large update will be released sometime between August and September.
