Needs

Needs are a fundamental mechanic in inZOI. Every Zoi has 8 core needs that must be fulfilled. Neglecting these needs can lead to negative consequences, while keeping them satisfied ensures a thriving Zoi.

In inZOI, Needs represent the basic requirements for survival and well-being. These must be managed alongside a Zoi's broader goals. There are eight distinct Needs, each with specific methods to address them, ranging from eating and sleeping to socializing and resting.

Additional Information

Fulfilling Needs is critical for a Zoi’s survival and ability to engage in other activities. For instance, a Zoi with low Hunger or Sleep may struggle to complete tasks, while unmet Social or Recognition needs could impact their happiness. Preferred activities for Fun and Vigor vary by Zoi, reflecting their individual personality and interests.
