On the home screen of South Korea’s rival to The Sims, Inzoi, in the background beside a cute cat, you can see a book on Stoicism. This backdrop is never really explained further in the game and for anyone paying attention, it’s kind of bizarre. After all, Inzoi is a game that is all about creating fashionable characters, buying a house and a car, and generally recreating life. Or is it?
“I’m personally a big fan of Stoicism,” Inzoi’s producer and director, Hyungjun "Kjun" Kim, tells Inverse. “When creating Inzoi, I looked to Stoicism for guidance on what message I wanted to convey through the game.”
