Are There Ghosts?

inZOI Are There Ghosts
Zois will turn to ghosts after dying with insufficient karma in inZOI. Check out what happens to ghosts with enough karma, whether ghost play is available, and all features related to ghosts in here!

Are There Ghosts?

Dying With Low Karma Turn Zois Into Ghosts

If a Zoi dies without sufficient Karma, they remain as ghosts. This has been confirmed in a post at Kjun's Concerns in the official Discord titled Boo! Zois who pass away with enough Karma move on to the afterlife instead.

After turning to ghosts, it has been mentioned that the Zoi will have to restore Karma points to reach the afterlife. It is currently unknown which activities a ghost can perform to restore Karma points.

Ghost Play is Not Available in Early Access

When your Zoi dies, you will receive a notification from Nyx that the Zoi became a ghost. You only have the option to play with your original remaining family members as the Ghost Play button is grayed out and is still under development.

What Happens When You Die?

Ghost Play Coming in August 2025

Ghost Play is set to release on August 2025 based on the Development Roadmap revealed in the Online Showcase. This update may come with all the ghost-related features including playing as a ghost to reach the afterlife.

Everything We Learned from the Online Showcase

Speak to the Undertaker to Contact Souls

Use the Smartphone to contact the Undertaker from the Services menu in Pocket Market. The Undertaker allows soul-related services, such as requesting a soul to be at rest.

In the Early Access version, interactions with the Undertaker currently have no effects. Its full implementation will likely come when the Ghost Play feature is added to the game.

Ghost Features

Ghost Appearance Rate

According to the developers, a Ghost Appearance Rate Slider will be added to adjust the amount of ghosts residing within the city, where ghosts are removed at the lowest setting and will densely populate the city when set to highest. This will likely be in the City Edit menu.

Additionally, the devs mentioned that ghosts will have a more creepy and eerie existence rather than goofy.

Ghost Encounters

Ghost encounters are hinted to be possible and may cause a negative effect on the Zoi. It was mentioned in that post that if a Zoi were to encounter a ghost, their status may fall to negative for a while due to extreme fright.

However, emotional reunions may also be possible. The devs also hinted that unexpected reunions may occur between friends and family who passed away that may lead to dramatic scenarios.

Ghost Expert Job

The developers stated that they are considering a Ghost Expert Job in the game. This profession is said to raise a Zoi's sensitivity to ghosts within the vicinity.

List of Careers and Jobs

Ghost-Exclusive Tasks

Tasks exclusive to ghosts have been hinted to be an added feature. Details of ghost-exclusive tasks are currently unknown.

Personality and Behavior

According to the developers, ghosts will inherit their traits from when they were alive. As an example, calm Zois will turn to mild-mannered ghosts and bully Zois may become a mischievous spirit.

List of Traits

Ghost Behavior Likely Influenced by Culture

The developers mentioned that they are looking to add the behavior of ghosts in folklore to add variety. Note that they specifically stated Korean Folklore for ghosts in Dowon, and other cities will likely not have this implemented during the early access.
