Meet Neo, your first virtual pet! Choose an octopus, a cat, a dog, a bunny or a duck, give it a name and take care of it every day: feed it, give it a bubbly bath, tuck it into bed and make it giggle with tickles. Your pet grows with you: it starts as a baby and becomes a kid, a teen and a grown-up. It never gets sick or goes away — if you forget it, it just gets a little sad until you care for it again. - 27 mini-games to earn coins: catch the food, jump, memory, bubbles, fishing, follow the tune, maze, bowling, puzzle, tic-tac-toe, connect four and many more. - Over 100 wardrobe items: hats, glasses, clothes and accessories that unlock as you level up. - A kitchen with foods that open up as your pet grows. - Talk to it and it repeats you in a funny voice (your voice is never saved and never leaves the phone). - Day and night follow the real time: when it gets dark, it's bedtime. - Levels and growth: real care raises affection, level and life stage. Made with love by Neobit for the whole family: • Truly 100% free: no ads and no purchases. • Works without internet, anytime and anywhere. • No sign-up, no accounts and no shared data. • Protected "For parents" area with sound, voice and notification settings.

It never dies and never makes you feel guilty.

Gentle reminders are cheerful, and skipping one changes nothing. PICK YOUR FRIEND Puff is a warm fluffy ball, Drop is a calm little slime philosopher, Chirp is a quick curious spark of a bird. Dress them in hats, scarves and new outfit packs, and preview every item on the Dynamic Island, the Lock Screen and widgets. VISITS Send your creature to a friend for an hour.
