inZOI

Publisher KRAFTON and developer inZOI Studio announced that inZOI has surpassed one million sales worldwide within a week of its release on March 28th. The full launch for consoles is also planned.https://x.com/PlayinZOI/status/1908082411906449478

inZOI is a life simulation game where players can modify any aspect of their world to create unique stories. Players can find jobs, form relationships, and experience events influenced by characters acting on their free will. The development team expressed gratitude for the support, stating that the milestone felt unreal and was achieved because of the community's passion and contributions.

The game offers various creative tools to visualize a dream life, featuring realistic graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5. Players can customize their character and home using movable furniture and structures, and adjust property and city aspects for a tailored experience.

One has to wonder why a game that simulates real life seems more attractive than real life itself to so many people.
