Within the immersive world of InZOI, the Karma system plays a crucial role in determining the reputation and fate of Zois based on their actions. Engaging in negative behavior adversely affects a Zoi’s Karma, resulting in social repercussions such as isolation from others and the spread of damaging rumors. In extreme scenarios, a Zoi may even find themselves incarcerated.
Unlike typical game interpretations of prison, where characters simply vanish for a short time, InZOI allows players to actively manage their Zoi while incarcerated. However, this experience comes with trade-offs, as players will find their character confined to a cramped cell with limited activities, sacrificing luxuries in the process. The path to imprisonment is initiated through negative actions that lead to deteriorating Karma.
Navigating Imprisonment in InZOI
To orchestrate a prison sentence, players should indulge in behaviors that harm the environment, select hostile dialogue choices, and exhibit cruelty towards other Zois. Initially, players can only unlock basic insults, but as Karma deteriorates, the range of available options expands. Eventually, characters can engage in physical confrontations, further deepening their negative reputation.
For those looking to escalate their criminal endeavors, robbing ATMs located in Bliss Bay is an option. However, this requires the Zoi’s Karma to be at its worst level. To execute the robbery, players must select the Hack action among the Karma menu. Success yields Meow currency, but failure will prompt police intervention, especially if the act is committed in full view of witnesses.
Players can streamline their journey to jail by adopting the Social Disorder Ambition, which guides them through a series of tasks aimed at achieving the Notorious Villain status. Among these challenges is the requirement to experience imprisonment multiple times.
Securing Release from Jail in InZOI
Once a Zoi is apprehended, they will be taken to the Police Station, where a modest cell awaits, equipped with essential amenities such as beds, a toilet, and a sink. Despite the confinement, players retain access to their phone, allowing for limited interaction and entertainment—an unrealistic yet intriguing feature.
To secure their release, players must simply wait until 9 AM the following day for automatic release. However, an expedited exit option can be accessed after 4 AM by clicking on the Zoi and choosing to leave. Whether a Zoi takes this opportunity for redemption or continues down a destructive path that leads back to jail remains in the player’s hands.
