Car thieves can now face arrest in the world of inZOI.
In late March, the developers of the life simulator inZOI released a significant update, version 0.7.0, introducing a host of new gameplay features and expanding existing mechanics.
For instance, Zoi (characters) can now be arrested for stealing vehicles belonging to other Zoi. This is part of a broader enhancement to the game’s crime system, making criminal activities more impactful:
- Stealing crops from other Zoi is now also considered a crime.
- If a Zoi has a court trial scheduled, they are no longer able to leave the current city.
- The rewards and success rate for the “Extort” interaction have been adjusted.
- Conversely, the probability of arrest for minor offenses has been slightly reduced.
Beyond the crime system, update 0.7.0 brings several other notable changes and additions to enrich the gameplay experience:
- Zoi can now make and receive phone calls from other Zoi, enhancing social interactions.
- A new minimap feature has been added for easier navigation.
- A new calendar system has been implemented, featuring 28-day months. This calendar will display important dates such as holidays, birthdays, and expected birth dates for pregnant Zoi, adding a new layer of life management.
- Cinemas have been introduced into the game, offering new entertainment options for Zoi.
- Flower shops are now available, providing new retail and gift-giving possibilities.
- Public parking lots have been added, improving urban infrastructure.
- Zoi can now use bicycles as a mode of transport, offering an alternative to cars.
- Vehicles will now automatically slow down when an unavoidable collision is detected, improving driving safety within the game.
