What does the pet need from me?
Players look after food, energy, fun, and cleanliness. Different foods have different cooldowns, soap bubbles handle washing, and sleep restores energy. A ball mini-game gives the pet a way to play rather than relying on care meters alone. Each need changes at its own pace, so the care screen gives the player a small set of clear next actions.
Can the pet die if I forget to return?
No. The sample is designed so the pet cannot die. Needs decay while the player is away, but the amount is capped and a welcome-back panel explains the return. That keeps responsibility in the game without making an absence feel like a punishment.
How does the pet grow?
Care actions earn experience toward five growth stages. The blob creature changes as the player keeps up with its needs, giving longer-term progress beyond a single care session. A founder could change the creature or activities while keeping the gentle, no-death promise.
