About This Game

Pou is a Tamagotchi‑style virtual pet mobile game where players feed, clean, dress and play mini‑games with a small alien creature to help it grow and level up. Gameplay is simple and repetitive (care loop + mini‑games) with many cosmetic customization options and optional in‑app purchases. The app is designed for short play sessions and is generally family‑friendly, but includes ads, microtransactions and limited online social features.
