Pou - Alien Pet Care Game

Pou is a casual virtual pet game by Zakeh that lets you raise and look after a small alien creature on your phone. You start with a single Pou and are responsible for its daily needs, from hunger to cleanliness, and over time you watch it grow as you keep it happy.

The game mixes simple care routines with a set of small activities. You feed your Pou, wash it when it gets dirty, and play with it to keep its mood up. As you progress you gain levels, and leveling up opens up new wallpapers and outfits so you can decide how your Pou looks and how its rooms are decorated. There is a game room where you can play mini games and collect coins, and a lab where you can experiment with potions. You can also try new outfits, hats, eyeglasses and shoes, unlock achievements and special items, and visit your friends to play with their Pous. The app even lets you talk to your Pou and hear it respond.

Because the basic loop is easy to understand, Pou suits people who want something light to open for a few minutes a day rather than a deep, complex game. The most recent version listed is 1.4.139, updated on 2026-10-18, and the game has been around since 2012, so there is a long history of content additions behind it. It is free to download, and it carries a content rating of Everyone. If you have never installed an app from a file before, the steps below walk you through the whole process.

How to install

1. Tap the download button on this page to get the Pou APK file. The download is about 87 MB, so a Wi-Fi connection is a good idea if your mobile data is limited.
2. Check that your device runs Android 7.0 or newer, since that is the minimum version this release supports.
3. When Android asks whether your browser or file manager may install apps, allow it. This is the "Install unknown apps" setting, and you can turn it off again after the installation if you prefer.
4. Open the downloaded APK file from your notifications or from your file manager's Downloads folder.

Set a short daily routine: feed and clean your Pou first, then use the coins you collect in the Game Room for items you actually want. Try the Lab potions when you have spare coins, since the results are part of the fun. If storage space is tight, clear out old downloads before installing, because the file is 87 MB. You can review the microphone and storage permissions in your device settings after installation if you want to limit what the app can access.

Pou is a long-running, free casual pet game that keeps things simple: care for your alien, play a few mini games, and customize it as you level up. If you are new to installing apps from a file, follow the steps above, make sure your device runs Android 7.0 or newer, and you will be ready to meet your Pou in a few minutes.
