The controls in InZOI are a little different compared with other similar games in the life simulation genre, and some players may find themselves a bit confused when starting out. The game features both point-and-click movement and controls, as well as a WASD system for walking or running around.
InZOI: What To Do First
This guide will show players what they need to do first in InZOI to get off to the best start and not miss anything.
At the Early Access launch, this is complicated by many of the controls not being seen in the Options, although one of the in-game guides thankfully covers this a little. To get players up to speed, this guide will cover the basic controls as well as some helpful hotkeys for InZOI, otherwise known as keyboard shortcuts.
At this time, there is no controller support for InZOI, but there will be in the future.
