Gamers are discovering all kinds of things that are possible to do in the game’s early access, including something rather shocking.
HeeeydevonGaming on Reddit has recently discovered that it’s possible to run over children with cars inInZOI, and decided to share a video of this controversial action with the community. In the short clip, it’s possible to see HeeeydevonGaming driving inside an elementary school’s sports court, and approaching a small group of children with a car.
