Description
Pocket Sanctuary brings back the keychain virtual pets of the 90s with a few modern twists. Every egg is a mystery: players combine an animal, a field and a charm, and the time of day, the weather and each animal's secret favourites decide what hatches. You feed it, play fetch, bathe it with soap and a shower, clean up its messes and watch it grow up, with a personality shaped by how you raised it.
Grown-ups move into the player's sanctuary, where they take jobs, go on expeditions and battle rival keepers and champions in themed arenas. Pets keep growing while the app is closed, and every pet ever raised is kept in a Collection, with 128 variants to discover.
Features
- 16 animals from four regions, each with 8 variants (Frost, Moss, Ember, Bloom, Shadow, Golden, Aurora)
- Pet care with feeding, fetch, naps, a three-step bath and, yes, cleaning up the poo
- Dozens of outfits, from scarves to traffic cones, and camera photos with matching stickers
- Turn-based battles in themed arenas, balanced skill matches and friend team codes
- Idle progress, daily gifts, seasonal events and Game Center achievements
- Hand-made pixel art, music and sound; plays fully offline
