inZOI Drops Explicit Sex Scenes

The developers of the upcoming life simulation game, inZOI, recently addressed fan questions, notably one concerning the depiction of intimate relationships. The assistant director's response regarding sexual intercourse, while avoiding the explicit term, remained ambiguous, leaving players uncertain about its representation.

Essentially, the implication is that romantic interactions between male and female ZOIs leading to bedroom scenes suggest procreation; however, the visual specifics are left to player interpretation. The statement hinted at a level of intimacy present, but not as overtly depicted as some anticipated.

Consequently, the extent of inZOI's depiction of intimacy remains unclear. It's currently unknown whether it will employ censorship similar to The Sims series or introduce a novel approach.

The developers also explained the game's choice to depict ZOIs showering in towels instead of using pixelated censorship. They argued this approach is more aesthetically suitable for the game's cartoonish art style, while pixelation in a realistic style might appear overly sexualized. Furthermore, a technical bug concerning reflections in mirrors when using pixelated censorship contributed to this decision.

Ultimately, the game's rating provides further context. The ESRB T (Teen) rating and the anticipated PEGI 12 rating align with The Sims 4, suggesting a similar level of mature content.
