Carry a Pomeranian in your pocket. A virtual pet who knows your weather, your neighborhood, your routine — and grows a real personality, generated privately on your iPhone. No ads, ever. A PERSONALITY THAT ACTUALLY EVOLVES Six traits drift with how you play — feeding, walking, grooming, even how you tap. Hold a trait long enough and it crystallizes into a permanent named identity, from Velcro Pom to Sass Master. Twelve exist; each Pom can earn three. Even their bark drifts as they grow. Dreams, journal entries, and musings are written on-device by Apple Intelligence — nothing about your Pom ever leaves your phone. NO GUILT, EVER There is no death state. If life pulls you away, and you don't use the Day Care, the Pomeranian Rescue Network keeps your Pom safe until you return — same Pom, full health, happy to see you. STEP INTO THE BACKYARD A painted yard of your own, drifting from day to dusk, with a squirrel who becomes a friend. Housetrain them gently, at your pace, to a proud graduation bandana. A live heartbeat monitor shows their wellness at a glance — and if they catch a mild sniffle (you choose: Off, Rare, or Normal), the Pomerania Wellness Center treats them free, always. A FULL LIFE TOGETHER Nine painted walk destinations, day and night, with friends whose bonds deepen across visits. Eight cinematic bath bombs across the seasons. Nine tricks to teach — plus a hidden tenth — and eighteen combos to discover. 999 levels of Puff Pop and five more mini-games. Four tiers of Pom Shows, with The Pom Press newsletter delivering the post-show gossip. YOUR POM WRITES YOU LETTERS Paper Pom turns your Pom into a correspondent: 16,118 letters across birthdays, holidays, and just-because, on 63 stationery styles spanning 32 holidays. Personalize one and share it. A COZY MYSTERY Fluffpuffy Cove is a 13-episode season told in your Pom's voice — 133 scenes, 82 branching choices, 46 clues — adapting to how you investigate. Episodes 1–3 are free; the rest unlock with a one-time pass or The Fluff Society. TINY FRIENDS A caterpillar cocoons over real days and emerges as a butterfly at your touch. A spider spins a web across six real hours. Fireflies drift at night. A bird claims its own perch. A WORLD THAT KNOWS YOURS Eighteen detected environments — cafe, gym, beach, even mid-flight — plus real weather and true sunrise and sunset shape every scene. Game still works fully without location access. BEYOND THE PHONE An Apple Watch app with native mini-games and a watch-face complication. Interactive widgets. Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. AR mode. A 32-scene Photo Booth. Ten Siri shortcuts. Spotlight. QUIETLY CRAFTED Every sound is synthesized on your device — zero recordings. 55 haptic patterns. VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Differentiate Without Color, and Relaxed Timing, which removes time pressure entirely. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT. Analytics are anonymous with an off switch. AI runs on-device. Your Pom is yours. THE FLUFF SOCIETY An optional auto-renewable monthly subscription adding daily coin rewards, weekly gems and wellness treatment credits, Fluffpuffy Cove episodes 4+, an exclusive trading card theme, six Photo Booth scenes, and a shareable Membership Card.

cool-T — тамагочи нового поколения на четыре совершенно разные судьбы. Возьмите под опеку одного подопечного — дерево, кролика, автомобиль или домашнюю грибную ферму — и проведите его от рождения до финала судьбы. КАЖДЫЙ ПОДОПЕЧНЫЙ — ЦЕЛЫЙ МИР • Дерево: полив, свет, подкормка, рыхление и защита кроны. Перелив губит так же верно, как и засуха. • Кролик: сытость, вода, чистота, радость и энергия — характер живой и переменчивый. • Автомобиль: топливо, масло, аккумулятор, чистота и шины — инженерный подход к заботе. • Грибная ферма: влажность, тепло, воздух, чистота и субстрат — тонкий баланс экосистемы. ЧЕСТНАЯ СИСТЕМА УХОДА Каждый параметр держится в своей «зоне комфорта» — выход за неё в любую сторону вызывает стресс, совсем как в жизни. Игра запоминает ваши ошибки и вознаграждает внимательность одной из четырёх концовок: от идеальной до печальной. ПРОДУМАННЫЙ ФОРМАТ • Игровое время течёт быстрее реального — судьба решается за дни, а не месяцы • Мягкие уведомления напомнят о подопечном, когда вы отвлеклись • Журнал событий сохраняет всю историю заботы • Галерея прошлых судеб после каждого завершённого цикла • Атмосферная тёмная тема и живые иллюстрации • Полностью офлайн, без рекламы и подписок Судьба каждого подопечного — только в ваших руках.
