Psycat overview
Psycat is a lilac bi-colour Ragdoll cat who serves as the player's main guide and supervisor at AR Company in inZOI. The name is a portmanteau of "psyche" (Greek for soul/spirit) and "cat." Psycat appears throughout the game as your primary source of tutorials, gameplay tips, cheat access, and emergency tools. She was known internally during development as "Psykhet" and has deep connections to the game's lore involving souls, karma, and the afterlife.
Lore and backstory
According to inZOI's lore, Psycat was originally a deity in the game's earliest mythology. The developers have jokingly described her as an "ex-god." She was rewritten as a supervisor at AR Company, the mysterious organization that oversees Zoi lives. Her role involves overseeing souls and managing the karma system that determines what happens to Zois after death.
