Thousands of Sims fans are flocking to the limited time demo for Inzoi Character Studio to make effortlessly gorgeous Zois
Upcoming life sim Inzoi launched a demo for its Inzoi Character Studio last night and, surprising no one, Sims fans who've been starved for any kind of alternative to the series that's been uncontested in the space for decades are flocking to it—to the tune of 18,000 concurrent players and rising.
