The lead developers of the highly anticipated life simulation game recently addressed several fan inquiries. One particularly intriguing response came when they were questioned about the inclusion of intimate scenes. In a notably evasive statement, the assistant director skillfully avoided directly referencing the topic while leaving players uncertain about the specifics.
Essentially, their explanation suggested that certain interactions between characters, such as two ZOIs retiring to bed together, could imply intentions related to reproduction. However, the visual representation of these moments remains ambiguous and largely dependent on the player's interpretation.
This ambiguity has left fans unsure whether intimate scenes in inZOI will follow the same censoring approach seen in The Sims series or if the developers are opting for an entirely novel method.
Further clarification came regarding the depiction of nudity. Instead of traditional pixelation or censorship, ZOIs are shown wearing towels during showers. This choice aligns better with the game's realistic art style and avoids unintended sexualization. Additionally, the developers mentioned a technical issue where uncensored reflections in mirrors caused inconsistencies in the visual presentation.
Ultimately, all uncertainties are resolved by considering the game's rating: ESRB - T (for teens) and expected PEGI 12. These classifications match those of The Sims 4, offering a clear indication of the game's intended audience and content.
