Revision 1

time controls

The time panel in the bottom-left of the screen lets players control the speed of the game. Click the speed number to select it, and click it again to pause. A slider below the speed arrows allows speeds up to 30x. Above 5x speed, movement controls and autonomy toggles are disabled.

day length

The default length of one in-game day is 90 minutes of real time. Players can adjust this in Game Options > Simulation. The shortest setting is 48 minutes per day, and the longest stretches a single day to 24 real-world hours. Changing day length only affects how fast time passes. It does not increase a Zoi's overall lifespan.

seasons

inZOI has four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Each season lasts 7 in-game days. At the default day length, that works out to roughly 11 hours of real time per season at 1x speed.

seasonal effects

• Temperature changes across seasons. Summer brings higher temperatures, winter brings lower.

• Zois automatically adjust their clothing to the current temperature, wearing thicker layers in cold weather and lighter outfits when it's warm.

• Weather patterns shift with the seasons, affecting outdoor activities and city atmosphere.

calendar

A calendar system was introduced in the December 2025 update. Bills arrive every Friday, and social events can be scheduled through the phone's Events app by selecting open timeslots.
