No Explicit Sex Scenes in inZOI: Game Developers Confirm

The lead developers of the highly anticipated life simulation game, inZOI, recently engaged with fans, addressing various curiosities, including the sensitive topic of sexual intercourse within the game. When questioned about this aspect, the assistant director provided a notably ambiguous response, skillfully avoiding the explicit mention of "sex." The gist of the answer was that while male and female ZOIs might retreat to bed together, presumably with the intent to procreate, the visual representation of this act would be left largely to the player's imagination.

Perhaps that’s exactly what’s happening, but not at the level everyone expected.

This leaves fans puzzled about whether inZOI will adopt a censorship approach similar to that seen in The Sims series, or if it will pioneer a new method altogether.

Moreover, the developers shed light on another intriguing feature: why ZOIs shower in towels instead of being subject to pixelated censorship. They explained that pixelation tends to fit better in games with more cartoonish visuals, whereas in a game striving for realism like inZOI, such censorship can inadvertently enhance the sexualization of the content. Additionally, they revealed a technical glitch where pixelated censorship failed to appear in mirror reflections when a naked ZOI approached, further justifying their design choice.

For those seeking clarity, the game's ratings provide some insight. inZOI has been rated ESRB - T (for teens) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating, aligning it with The Sims 4 in terms of content appropriateness. These ratings suggest a balanced approach to depicting sensitive content, tailored to a teen audience.
