I Lost Hours in the InZOI Creative Studio (and I Regret Nothing)

Okay, I’ll just say it – InZOI Creative Studio is addicting. I downloaded the demo thinking, ‘I’ll just check it and mess around for an hour max’. Suddenly, it is 800 hours later (Well, it at least felt like it). If you are curious about what inZOI has in store for creating your dream characters and building dream spaces, this is a black hole of fun, and you will definitely get sucked in.

Character Creation: The Ultimate Design Playground

Let’s get into the Character studio within the InZOI Creative Studio first because I was honestly speechless. I am a big lover of life simulation and games where I can just be creative, but this one? Speechless. Even though you can choose from plenty of presets, you can do so much more than that. You can sculpt and fine-tune, and your control over every single feature can be overwhelming, but it takes you into a new world.

You have a lot to play around with by freeing your creations. Although, I have already seen someone create a minion, which was quite… Spooky, to say the least. The hairstyles, with their movement, variation and texture, felt like a new level of a game.

The outfit options were endless with many styles, colours and laying possibilities as you can mix and match with everything. It felt liberating to explore the different choices.

Blueprint Studio: Say Goodbye to Your Free Time

Once I was able to finally pull myself away from creating my characters, I dived into the Blueprint Studio, where you design and build your dream place. It was truly immersive and you’ll definitely have some fun with this.

I started off simple with a modern loft, nothing too crazy but I didn’t realise how deep the options go. I went from a loft to designing a luxury villa with a vast living room and a fully decorated garden. I would never leave the perfect paradise.

The controls are intuitive, making it easy for the player to place their furniture exactly how you want it. There are many options for furniture, from grand ornate styles to minimalist Scandinavian designs. You can also customise everything, such as colour, material and texture. If you want a velvet couch with a blue trim, then go for it. A concrete bed? It might be horrible to sleep on, but you go for it. Your only limit is your imagination (also needing the strength to stop changing things all the time).

The Little Details That Make a Big Difference

The little things I noticed really meant something to me as I could tell they paid attention to detail. The lighting system took me some getting used to. It depends on where you place windows, but the way the light hits different textures changes in real time, enhancing the experience. Additionally, the user interface (UI) was easy to navigate and clean, I thought it would be overwhelming but everything is designed to be accessible. It doesn’t matter if you’re a casual player or someone who’s very experienced; anyone can just jump in.

Completely Addictive – Consider Yourself Warned

I hope our readers don’t have other responsibilities because it is easy to fall into this rabbit hole of “Just one more change”; that’s how I fell into Wonderland. If it’s hard now, just imagine how hard it will be when the game is released on early access on March 28th. I am excited to see everyone’s creations and builds, as I am already loving how the community is inspiring and thriving. 

Performance: Worth It, But Be Ready

Although I am a big fan of the demo so far, I do have to mention performance, as the demo runs beautifully on high-end PCS; here is the list of requirements in order to run the game:

It is important to remember that the game has a high system requirement, but it is to be expected with a very ambitious game. However, users can play using GeForce Now once the game is released on early access. 

Final Verdict: A Must-Try for Creative Souls

Should you try the inZOI Creative Studio? Absolutely! I would highly recommend trying it before the game is released on early access. It gives you the freedom to go above and beyond, and the demo is free for all to download and play until the early access is released. Give it a try; what are you waiting for? The game has big plans for the future, so stay tuned for more news regarding inZOI.
