Looking for a game like Pou? Meet Huko
If you loved feeding, washing and dressing up your Pou, Huko will feel like home, only with a real cat, dog, bunny or panda to look after.

What you will recognise
- Rooms for every need: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, play room and garden.
- Feed by dragging food to the mouth, wash with soap and a shower, switch off the light to sleep.
- Mini games that earn coins, and a shop full of food, hats, glasses and room colours.
- Your pet levels up and unlocks new things as it grows.
What is new in Huko
- Eight real animals instead of one blob: cat, dog, hamster, bunny, fox, panda, elephant and lion.
- Your pet grows from baby to young to grown-up, and you can see it get bigger.
- It craves a favourite food, needs the toilet after a meal and chases butterflies in the garden.
- Daily quests and a daily gift calendar with a streak shield for the day you forget.
- Look after one pet together with up to three other people.
Soft, hand-drawn and calm
Every animal, food and room in Huko is drawn in code with a soft plush look and thick sticker outlines. Nothing flashes at you, there are no timers that punish you, and the pet is never lost.
