Adding a Touch of Darkness

I don’t know how many people will agree with me, but I feel the game lacks a certain darkness. Inzoi can remain just as cozy and warm, but at the same time, in certain moments, it could show a darker side.

For example, crime, or full-fledged funerals — right now, when a Zoi dies, there’s no proper event to say goodbye and see a family member off on their final journey.

You know, in my game’s translation, a cute fluffy cat is called “psikot” — meaning a mentally unstable cat, whose fault it is that you’re in a world where it controls you and plays with you… but that’s just my imagination, although it would make a fun idea, haha, just kidding.

Anyway, we already have a vanilla, extremely cautious Sims-like experience. I think adding some seriousness to Inzoi could attract new players and keep existing ones interested. That’s how I see it.

I also feel the lack of darker side. Like, it’s life and it can’t be all sugary all the time, there should be something 'bad’ happening. There’s so much content that can be made with adding crime for example, from playable work as a policeman to building your own syndicate, and some new traits can be bound with it.

Yes! Crime and funerals would be great. Crime would also fit with the karma system.

I feel like crime, mischief, etc would make the game so much more fun. It’s too warm and cozy, which real life is not and though some people play games for an escape I think others want the option to enjoy different experiences as well, including darker themes like addiction, murder, hitmen, robberies, etc. Imagine seeing someone get robbed and your zoi gets scared, and you can maybe help them or run away or something? That would be so cool.

Literally!! Someone made a suggestion asking for a toggle as well like how Roblox did, since Roblox was able to allow users to enable 17+ content optionally so that the game’s rating is still the same.

Literally! Game is too bland and cozy at times — which is okay, for those who like it, but we want to tailor our gameplay experience to however we like it. Please consider

another idea would be like CPS, along with the welfare system, it may be interesting to see like if your kids get tken away for financial reasons or if ur zoi is a bad person or sum
