My Inzoi review

[Rainy Kitten]

Decided to post my review here since due to family share I can't post my review officially on the game page. We decided to get the game this way since it would be shared with anyone anyway, but I didn't realize I couldn't leave an official review of the game without buying another copy. lol

Granted this is still early access so I might alter my review later on. There are things I really loved and there are things...I don't really hate, but let's just say I'm not overly fond of. First let's go over what I liked about the game, which to me has more that I like then dislike.

1: I like the textures and graphics. When I go to the beach is really looks like a beach, the sand and the way the waves crash up on the shore. I like how the Zoi's look like they are really lively there.

2: I like how the food looks and how your Zoi takes the time to not only gather the ingredients from the fridge, but even takes the time to crack eggs and mix everything together.

3: I love the fact you can buy and drive a car, and have the ability to manually or automatically drive it. I like the fact these are real cars like in the real world and I like you can get into a fender bender and the other Zoi will get out and yell about it.

4: I really love the fact you can use custom patters on things like your bed, or even just cushions on a couch. The fact you can find a image you like and use it to decorate your room. I was seriously able to make a pokemon themed bedroom. lol

Ok so these are the top 4 things I love now I will list a few others I don't like or I think could be improved on.

1: Ok, so the Karma system and yes I know I'm probably the only one who takes issue to this but try to be a little open minded as to why. I feel a little shoehorned into doing certain things or acting a certain way because if I don't and my Zoi dies I will be stuck as a ghost, unable to move on to the afterlife. Take for example, my first Zoi. She isn't interested in relationships, she loves being single and only wants to pursue her career of being a Idol. In her Karma it has listed find a husband, have children...but she doesn't want a husband. I dunno really how this could be done better then allowing you to customize the things your Zoi wants in life after getting into the game and then providing Karma based on what you type in that you want.

2: I feel like the beach could be a little more lively. maybe some seagulls diving into the waves, some crabs scuttling along the shore, or a dolphin jumping in the distance. The people are perfect, but a little more nature would be nice.

3: Get rid of the towels, seriously that just looks crazy. I mean who takes a shower in a towel? That kinda kills the point of taking a shower. Just having a blur to shield nudity is fine. But you not only have a towel, but a blur too....guess you have to protect the towel's delicate modesty. lol

4: We need more clothing, and more kinds of foods to make as well as less rabbit hole careers. We were told in a video none of the jobs would be rabbit holes and I can only hope the reason for so many being rabbit holes is because they are still working on those. I'd like to see the jobs like fire fighting actually going to work and putting out a fire, or rescuing a kitty from a tree.

This is all I can think of and yes I do really love this game so far. I love the two cities we were given and I love being able to explore and am looking forward to the addition of more cities and possibly more jobs. Looking forward this this year and seeing where this game goes.

Thanks again for making an amazing game. :)

I agree with everything you have said but they could benefit on A LOT MORE hair styles. I mean come on, also the length tool feels like an outdated mod for only 1 type of hair style category...add it for all hairstyles in the game lol. WE NEED MORE HAIR!

personally i would like a few rabbit hole jobs, so you can focus on one zoi at work, while another zoi goes to a rabbit hole job

Go to their Discord channel with this. They read stuff there.

Kinda stupid to give a review on a game that is in early access active development pointless to review something that is not a finished product

No it's not , How would the developers know what people think of the game if people didnt comment or review it , or what possibly needs fine tuning or changing totally

I can't use Discord there. I got into it with a Mod there before over verification stuff.

I agree, that and if they didn't want reviews then Steam reviews wouldn't be available to begin with. lol

Sorry for the translation.
I think you may have misunderstood about the karma system.
I believe that the only actions of an individual Zoi that involve karma are those with a red or blue marker at the beginning of the sentence, and that karma has nothing to do with a Zoi getting married or having children.
The player is not only the operator of the Zoi, but also the administrator of the city, and can determine the karma of the entire city, but I think this is in effect a population control issue, and the goal now is to prevent the population from exceeding its capacity due to the number of ghosts that remain in this world! .
I expect that the karma system will not bind players with norms, but will expand the way they play. Eventually it may be possible to make ghost Zoi continue to behave badly and play with the city full of ghosts, etc.

and I think you misunderstood my review. I'm not reviewing what karma does but having it in general. lol
