InZOI's Game Director, Hyungjun "KJoon" Kim, has provided fascinating insights into the game's unique blend of the ordinary and the paranormal. Players will have the intriguing opportunity to control ghosts, though this ability comes with limitations to ensure it complements rather than overshadows the core gameplay experience. This ghost-controlling mechanic is intricately linked to a karma system, which meticulously tracks the actions of characters and profoundly influences their future lives, extending its impact even beyond death.

The karma system plays a pivotal role in determining a character's fate after they pass away. Depending on their deeds, characters may either transition peacefully to the afterlife or be condemned to remain as ghosts, haunting the world of the living. For these spectral beings to finally depart the mortal realm, they must accumulate the karma points they lack.
In the early access version of InZOI, players will encounter ghosts, though the ability to control them will be introduced in subsequent updates. The developers have made it clear that InZOI is primarily focused on simulating real life, with paranormal elements kept subtle and supplementary. However, Hyungjun "KJoon" Kim has hinted at the potential inclusion of other mysterious phenomena in future updates, promising to keep the game's universe both grounded and intriguingly otherworldly.
