There's a market for people who enjoy pretending to have a 100% Instagrammable life. I wonder how strong the correlation is between this group and people who are simply not happy with their own real life circumstances.

Sims are (significantly) older than instagram. I have a lot of fun playin Sims games for like two decades now. I do as well enjoy playin other simulator games, like Sim City or Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Think of it like playing with dolls. Kids playact through social situations to prepare them for adult life. There is a large market for doing this through videogames now.

There’s a huge market for living a Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption fantasy style life but only in video games. I’ve played all the GTAs since the beginning and I’ve never wanted to do it in real life.

Is there a "Mr. Bones Wild Ride" section of Instagram I've been missing?

Based on the main animation and the screenshots, it looks like this is a upper-class-American-life simulation game, specifically?

The cookie banner highlights the "Accept all cookies" button and makes the other option "Cookie settings" look pretty much greyed out and disabled, a dark pattern right away that doesn't set a great first impression.

Seems like a big-standard gdpr prompt to me.

More like a big-standard gdpr violation.

I hope the game starts with a fake simulation and then weird things start happening and the real game begins, otherwise what the hell is this

if it's anything like the Sims, or imvu second life, it will be popular. People like to fantasize about a life they can't have.

Saints Row 4?

Neat graphics and all but how do you actually play the game?

There's a "inZOI: Character Studio" demo in the Steam page that just allows you to create a character. Beyond that, this page just seems to be a marketing page to get people to join their discord/newsletter and to wishlist the game on Steam.

Mod suggestion: change the title to "PUBG developer Krafton is developing a life simulation game inzoi"

Wait until it gets released

The character creator demo is available for this week https://store.steampowered.com/app/3092450/inZOI_Character_S...

Second Life meets Sims?

Does not appear to be multiplayer though. So it's more like Sims meets UE5 I guess?

Looks like Sims for all the "real" gamers.

What is this shit? Website doesn't say much. And needs hours to load.

Anyone else not see the point of this? Or is this a hoax?

Same point as The Sims, which is quite popular.

This is 100% Built on some GTAV source code right?? I don't care if the answer is yes. I think thats kind of sick. But you're seeing it too right?

Camera angle

GTA has a very distinctive used camera angle unlike most games. This has a similar camera angle as GTA.

UE5.

No, it's most probably the PUBG engine.

PUBG is unreal engine.

I'm not seeing it.
