The developers of the upcoming life simulation game, inZOI, recently addressed fan questions regarding intimate interactions. When asked about the inclusion of sexual content, the assistant director provided an ambiguous response, leaving players uncertain about the game's depiction of such activities.
Essentially, the response indicated that intimate interactions between male and female ZOIs, particularly when retiring to bed together, imply the intention to have children. However, the visual representation of this interaction is left largely to the player's interpretation. The statement hinted at a less explicit approach than some might have anticipated.
Consequently, the level of censorship in inZOI's depiction of intimacy remains unclear, leaving open the question of whether it will mirror the approach seen in The Sims series or adopt a novel method.
The developers also explained the decision to depict ZOIs showering in towels instead of using pixelated censorship. They argued that this approach is more suitable for the game's cartoonish art style, as pixelation in a realistic style can appear overly sexualized. Furthermore, a technical issue involving reflections in mirrors further complicated the use of pixelated censorship.
Ultimately, the game's rating provides the clearest indication of its content. inZOI has received a T rating from the ESRB (for teens) and is expected to receive a PEGI 12 rating, aligning with the ratings given to The Sims 4.
