HeeeydevonGaming on Reddit has recently discovered that it’s possible to run over children with cars in InZOI, and decided to share a video of this controversial action with the community. In the short clip, it’s possible to see HeeeydevonGaming driving inside an elementary school’s sports court, and approaching a small group of children with a car. When the car touches the first child, they are launched dramatically. The developers of InZOI may likely patch this shortly, as this kind of violence could impact the game’s age rating.

InZOI Player Hits Child With a Car

So far, InZOI has been a big hit. While its publisher Krafton has not yet divulged any sales numbers, InZOI quickly passed The Sims 4 on the Steam charts, with over 83,000 players trying it out at the time of this report, while EA’s game peaked at just over 38,000 gamers in the last 24 hours.

The life sim’s success is not surprising considering that InZOI became the most wishlisted game on Steam recently, overcoming the highly expected Hollow Knight: Silksong. In any case, it remains to be seen how the game will continue to maintain its popularity over the early access period.

A few days ago, the developers shared a roadmap for InZOI, detailing its upcoming updates. The first update will be out in May, adding cheat codes, more furniture, updates, a modding kit, and much more to the game. Update 2 will release in August, adding a free DLC with Kucingku Cat Island to the life simulation game, which is described as a Southeast Asian-inspired location with many cats.
