inZOI distinguishes itself in the realm of life simulation games by providing a uniquely dynamic social environment, where the characters exhibit lifelike behaviors. Instead of responding predictably to situations, the advanced AI behind these figures delivers surprising reactions to gossip. In this virtual universe, rumors and whispers travel rapidly, instigating a variety of unexpected social dynamics that mimic real-life interactions.
The impact of a well-timed rumor can be profound; it has the potential to incite conflict among friends, sparking rivalries that reshape the social landscape of your Zoi’s existence dramatically.
Mastering the Art of Rumor-Mongering in InZOI
To effectively engage in spreading rumors, an understanding of the Karma system is crucial. Specifically, only Zois with a low Karma rating—those who have made morally questionable choices—can participate in this feature of the game. Therefore, deliberately lowering your Zoi’s Karma is a prerequisite for initiating gossip.
Once your Karma descends to a low point, players can access the rumor-mongering feature within Bubbly, InZOI’s social interface. The extent of rumor options available to you correlates directly with how severely your Karma has dropped. To facilitate gossip, your Zoi must achieve a Slightly Bad or Bad Karma level.
Zois with a Slightly Bad Karma can only share a Rumor Text, while those with Bad Karma can escalate to a Malicious Rumor Text. By selecting your desired form of rumor to circulate, you can watch the ensuing drama unfold. To successfully spread a rumor once you have met the necessary Karma condition, follow these steps:
- Click on a Zoi.
- Scroll down until the Smartphone option appears.
- Access Smartphone in InZOI and choose to either Send a Rumor Text or Send a Malicious Rumor Text.
Strategies for Reducing Your Karma in InZOI
All Zois begin their journey with a neutral Karma status. To intentionally decrease your Karma, opt for negative choices when interacting with other Zois. If your character consistently exhibits rude behavior—such as littering, sending hurtful messages, threatening others, or neglecting those in need—this will result in a decline in Karma. A red icon will appear next to dialogue options that lead to negative actions, visually indicating the impact of your choices.
You can monitor a Zoi’s Karma level through their Zoi Card or by consulting the Karma Report available in InZOI.
