inZOI is a life simulation game where the player can alter any aspect of their world to create unique stories and experiences. Just like in the real world, you can find jobs to make a living while forming deep relationships through interactions. With a complete community simulation of every character acting on their free will, you can experience unexpected events to feel the various emotions life has to offer. With inZOI, we hope to share the message that "life itself is the true gift, and every journey has its own meaning."

inZOI provides a variety of creative tools, so that players can visualize the life they've always dreamed of. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game's realistic graphics allows the players to let their imagination run free, with easy creation of different resources. Customize your character's appearance and outfit and build your custom home using a wide selection of freely-movable furniture and structures. You can also adjust different parts of your property and surrounding roads as well as aspects of your residing city for a fully customizable experience.

INZOI TO LAUNCH ON MAC

inZOI for Mac, which will also launch on Aug. 20, can be preordered via the Mac App Store and Steam. Optimized for Apple silicon, inZOI on Mac takes full advantage of Metal – software that powers hardware-accelerated graphics on Apple platforms – resulting in smooth and responsive gameplay with high frame rates and stunning visuals. The game supports MetalFX Upscaling, hardware-accelerated ray tracing on Apple’s M3 and M4 family of chips, and HDR. System requirements are Apple Silicon Mac configurations with the M2 chip or later and 16GB or more of unified memory.

“Cahaya was shaped by feedback from our players, going all the way back to Early Access launch earlier this year,” said Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim, CEO of inZOI Studio and Director of inZOI. “This DLC reflects a vision we’ve built together with our community. Developing a game in a new genre has been a real challenge, but the support we’ve received means everything to us — and we’re just getting started.”

inZOI is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
