What do you have to do to look after Pou?
Feed it, clean it and play with it. Those three actions drive its growth and levelling, so the pet's condition and its progression are the same thing rather than separate systems.
How do you earn coins?
By playing the different games in the games room. Coins are the currency behind customisation and items, so the mini-games are the economic engine rather than an optional distraction.
What is the Lab?
A room where you can experiment with potions. It is the one part of the game built around trying things to see what happens, in contrast to the predictable feed-and-clean routine.
What can you customise?
Pou's appearance through outfits, hats and eyeglasses, and each room's wallpaper separately. That means you can change both how the pet looks and the environment it lives in.
Is there anything to unlock?
Yes — achievements and special items. They give long-term goals to the daily care loop, so there is a reason to keep playing beyond simply keeping the creature fed and clean.
Is POU free to play?
Yes. POU is completely free on Masked Games. There is no account to create, no trial period and no payment step — open the page, press play and the game starts.
