Karma in InZOI reflects the cumulative effects of every choice and action made by a Zoi throughout their life. This intricate system means that each conversation and interaction can lead a Zoi towards either positive outcomes, referred to as Best Karma, or negative consequences, known as Terrible Karma. Visually, Karma interactions are identified by a symbol reminiscent of yin and yang, where blue signifies beneficial actions and red indicates harmful ones.
To monitor a Zoi’s Karma status, players should open the Zoi Card located at the bottom right corner of the screen. The Karma status can be viewed right above the Meow Store button. For a broader overview, including the city’s overall Karma dynamics, players can navigate to the map, select Edit City, and access the Karma Report.
Managing the Karma Report in InZOI
Monitoring and managing the Karma Report is crucial for players as they navigate the lives of their Zois, as well as the entire city’s inhabitants. Each Zoi has a Karma bar that reflects their actions—both good and bad. Players have the freedom to choose their course; however, if their city’s Karma Report trends heavily towards negativity, it may trigger the need for an intervention with the CEO in the game.
How to Attain Terrible Karma
Attaining a status of Terrible Karma is relatively straightforward—players need only to engage in detrimental behaviors towards others, including family, friends, and fellow neighbors. Here are some actions that contribute to this negative Karma:
- Selecting mean interactions in conversations.
- Instigating conflicts without provocation.
- Choosing red options that indicate harmful choices.
- Ignoring and not intervening in the negative actions of other Zois.
- Engaging in theft from ATMs (specific to Terrible Karma).
Choosing the path of malevolence can result in a poor reputation within the community, with gossip spreading on Bubbly. Players testing the limits of the law may find their Zoi incarcerated, and those who pass away with a background of Terrible Karma will turn into Wandering Ghosts.
How to Achieve Best Karma
To shift the Karma Report in a positive direction, players should encourage their Zois to exhibit exemplary behavior, whether they are in public or private settings. Some effective actions include:
- Donating to causes and individuals in need.
- Offering apologies and compensations for past wrongs.
- Performing acts of kindness within the community.
Regularly checking the Karma Report enables prompt interventions as necessary.
It’s important to remember that the contributions to the city’s overall Karma extend beyond a player’s individual Zoi. Players must actively manage the Karma of their fellow citizens, encouraging positive behavior and discouraging negativity. This can be accomplished through:
- Navigating to Edit City from the bottom right of the screen or map.
- Accessing the Karma Report tab within the Manage Zois section.
- Selecting Karma Status.
- Taking action to either scold or praise Zois based on their behavior.
Even with diligent efforts, some Zois may persist in exhibiting Terrible Karma. In such cases, a practical approach is to shift control to those wayward households or Zois and manage their Karma directly.
