Finally out but in early access (in other words, it’s going to be buggy), InZoi is a new open-world life simulation for PC from Korean game publisher Krafton. What makes this sim a little different from its predecessors that have dominated the genre for decades is how lifelike the graphics are.

InZoi is powered by the Unreal Engine 5, which is known for its photorealistic graphics capabilities. This means that when you create a Zoi, the customisation options are more detailed than what you would expect from a life sim. Yes, there are presets, and you can tweak all the usual details (hair, eyes, clothes), but with InZoi, there are features like facial capture. Scanning a QR code, you won’t just create a mirror-image Zoi of you, all of your facial movements will be there as well. It’s cool, but also creepy in an uncanny valley way.
