The majority of the "inZOI hot" search volume comes from the character creator. Krafton has unleashed a tool that allows you to scan your actual face via a smartphone app, but more importantly, it allows you to sculpt digital humans who look better than real people.
By integrating inZOI moves the genre from "Playing God" (micromanaging every pixel) to "Directing a Movie" (setting the scene and letting the AI handle the props). This aligns perfectly with the game's high-fidelity visual style and attracts players who want the "aesthetic" of a life sim without the "labor" of building.
