## What is Animo Core?

Your steps aren't just numbers, they're what brings your companions to life! Animo turns everyday walking into a cozy pet-collecting adventure. Every step hatches eggs, grows your companions, and keeps them happy. No timers, no pretending, just real movement.

WALK TO HATCH & GROW
Your first egg hatches in just 200 steps. Keep walking to level up your active companion and earn Kibble to feed them. Perfect for building a daily habit or exploring on travel days!

COLLECT 90+ COMPANIONS
Discover 10 unique lineages (Chicks, Bears, Beavers, Koalas, Penguins, Capybaras, Cats, and Elementals) across 4 rarities. Watch them evolve from Juvenile to a fully-grown Adult.

CHOOSE THEIR PATH
Your choices matter. Will your teen become an artist or a scientist? A chef or a pirate? Every companion's story branches based on your decisions, making your Sanctuary truly unique.

CARE & BUILD
Feed them Kibble, Candy, and Elixirs to boost their mood. Use the steps you walk to buy trees, lanterns, and ponds, decorating a free-roaming garden for your pets to explore.

PLAY & REWARDS
Climb the 30-tier Stride Pass just by walking. Need a break? Play quick training minigames to test your reflexes and memory for bonus rewards.

BRING THEM TO LIFE IN AR
Place your Animo in the real world! Watch them drop into your room with a magical umbrella parachute. Tap to interact, feed them a bowl of kibble, play fetch, or scatter hidden crystals for a room-scale scavenger hunt. Dynamic lighting keeps them grounded in reality, and you can snap photos using custom frames to share with friends. (More AR games coming soon!)

CONNECT WITH FRIENDS
Add friends with a simple invite code, compare progress on the leaderboard, and enjoy a companion that's genuinely excited to see how far you've come.

Available in English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese.
