Emotions govern a Zoi's actions as well as be affected by them in inZOI. Learn how Emotions work, see the Emotions Zois can feel, and how they can be influenced.
How Emotions Work
Emotions Reflect Zoi Feelings
Emotions reflect a Zoi's mental state and frames each Zoi's reaction to their circumstances. Emotions are similar to Moods in games like The Sims 4, and can be affected by many factors.
InZOI features a total of 17 Core Emotions, each of which has unique effects on a Zoi experiencing them.
Emotions Change in Intensity
Most of the Core Emotions in inZOI can change in intensity. For example, an intensely Annoyed Zoi can become Angry, and then Enraged.
It is simplest to think of each Emotion inZOI as having a point score. As different factors affect a Zoi, those scores increase. The higher an Emotion's score, the more intense it is.
According to Krafton, 41 Emotions in inZOI when including the variations from increased intensity.
Zois Can Feel Multiple Emotions
Zois can experience multiple Emotions simultaneously, as the circumstances around them can affect them in different ways.
However, if multiple Emotions are affecting a Zoi, only the most intense Emotion at the moment will be considered the active Emotion.
For example: If a Zoi is more Annoyed than Uncomfortable, they will be considered Annoyed, until the Emotion subsides enough for Uncomfortable to be the more intense feeling.
Urges Can Induce Emotional States Instantly
Fulfilling a Zoi's Urges by performing certain activities can force a Zoi into a specific Emotion temporarily.
The most common occurrence of this is for the Tranquil and Concentrated states, as many Urges will cause the Zoi to feel this way. This can be beneficial since those states are beneficial.
