This legit could be a Sims competitor! Here's a few screen-grabs in case you don't want to sit through the whole gameplay trailer.

We sat down with inZOI, the so-hot-right-now ultra-realistic-looking Sims-like, and found a game that shows a ton of potential and is indeed gorgeous, but still feels a bit empty. Previewed by Sarah Thwaites
 
I don't care about the people part of it, but it would be interesting building cities/towns, and being able to have architectural freedom in that level of detail. Something more than cities skylines
 
I've been keeping my eye on this.

This looks absolutely amazing and has a ton of potential. Take your time.
 


Greetings, Creators!
We wanted to provide a clear and detailed breakdown of the system specifications needed to run inZOI and how they may impact your gameplay experience.
As such, we've categorized the system requirements into four tiers and provided the optimal settings for each.
Please check the announcement for more details.
 


🚶🏻Take a peaceful walk through Dowon—where every street tells a story.
Dowon evokes the charm of a Korean metropolis, where modern vibes blend seamlessly with breathtaking natural beauty.

No music, no commentary—just the city speaking for itself.

Experience the essence of this vibrant urban landscape—best enjoyed with headphones for full immersion. 🎧
(The gibberish part was recorded at 2x speed. Meet the original voices in-game soon!)

00:00 Step into Dowon
00:35 Spring has sprung! 🌸
00:52 A future choreographer setting the vibe
01:13 The cutest subway entrance you'll ever see
01:28 A wild Bambi family appears! 🦌
01:59 Lottery booth—feeling lucky?
02:13 Hidden gem? A bustling flea market!
03:10 A sudden flash—was that lightning?! ⚡
03:51 The perfect street for a mukbang adventure 🍽️

Another Walking inZOI is coming soon—stay tuned!
 
I wish this game had an art direction, instead of this Unreal marketplace asset-flip look associated to most non-Japanese Asian games, because I'm dying for any strong competitor to The Sims.
 
Personally I think these Sims games would be interesting if it's setting more interesting time period instead our boring modern world.

For example….
 


InZOI, the Sims-like game from Krafton, will soon be in early acess. InZOI appears to be Krafton's answer to the fan-favorite series, The Sims, from EA. We were lucky enought to get some early hands-on time with the game ahead of the early access release. Here's the first 21 minutes of InZOI gameplay.
 
Wont lie looks extremely impressive for an aa sims genre game. The question is how long until modders manage to put out nsfw mods because that's whats going to really boost sales with this level of character rendering.
 


With inZOI's Canvas, you can view, download, and share your in-game creations of custom Zois, outfits, furniture, and more. But there are a few steps to follow before you can flex those creative muscles on Krafton's content-sharing platform. Here's everything you need to know about how to access Canvas in inZOI, with instructions for uploading and downloading designs.
 
The early access version (release tomorrow) seems to come now without "denuvo" (after steam crowd went rampage because of it). :messenger_ok: Never played "The Sims"...but this game looks pretty chill. Might try it as well. Nice move from the devs. (y)

InZOI let me see my future... and it was bleak! Wouldn't we all like to know what our future looks like? Well, I decided to take a sneak peek at mine and walk in the shoes of 50-year-old me for a day via InZoi, the new life sim competitor out of Korea looking to take The Sims on at its own game. Get a look at the InZOI character creator and some fun InZOI gameplay in our video.

Yeah I almost forgot most of the Sims playerbase must have pretty low spec or using laptops. And Inzio actually looks like a game from the future people back in 2013 expected.
Why did they include Denuvo in an online shared game in the first place. doesn't being online already secures you from Piracy.
 
and the game has only male and female options :messenger_beaming: :messenger_beaming: :messenger_beaming:
Yeah, they changed that it seems. In the beginning it had this body type A/B nonsense as well. (Thx "Lords of the Fallen" devs!!!)

I think its single player...at least for now (early access version). And denuvo and modding is usually not the best combo.

It's singleplayer apparently (on the Steam page) and the devs decided to remove Denuvo after criticism, so there's that.
 
Love it..

F the sims creators (Maxis) they cancelled the perfect game (sims 5, multiplayer, would love to play this with my daughter), just because they know the sims 4 DLC is a cash cow I guess.
Hope these guys can add a multiplayer aspect in the futuure

We need to take bets on how long it takes for us to get a news story of some weeb marrying their InZoi character in real life.
 
I played around with the inZOI Builder/Creator Tool yesterday on PC and was impressed at the graphical quality of the character models. The engine even supports ray-tracing which was unexpected for a Sim clone. Looks very promising but it is early access so I am happy to wait for the final release before deciding whether to buy it or not.

it definitely has potential. graphics are really nice especially with accessories/clothing. Personally I did not like a lot of the face models but the ability to share creations shows that its possible to do more with it. runs okay on my 9800x3d/4070ti

Played this game a lot on weekend. Its super chill....I like it. Best thing is actually the "house building"...that stuff looks awesome. Most annoying thing are actually the pop ups. Outside stuff is sometimes popping in literally 10m in front of you...awful, but might be cause of performance reasons. :messenger_grimmacing_ Might have to check out mods for this.
 
Most annoying thing for me is the size of the ui, even on a 65 inch tv laying in bed 4 feet away I'm finding it difficul6 to make stuff out, and the fact that it's light colors doesn't help either. I know it just came out but this needs to be fixed ASAP.

Okay, I only play on monitors....but can imagine that things are more fiddly when playing via TV. You have to be very precise sometimes, because so many things are interactive and clickable.

But whats actually great about the UI is that its completely customizable. Dont like the position of this bar....no prob...just move it where you like. :pie_starstruck: This should be standard in every game.
