Pocket Emo
Adopt a tiny emo and try to keep them (sort of) happy. Feed snacks, play mini-interactions, and learn how mood swings change what your emo says and does. It’s a bite-size virtual pet with a mischievous twist.
About the Game
Pocket Emo is a classic browser toy where you create and care for a customizable emo character. The goal isn’t to max out happiness—it’s to observe and manage their mood. Different actions nudge the emo toward sulky, calm, or cheerful states, unlocking new reactions and lines.

How to Play
- Create: Start the game and customize hair, outfit, and accessories.
- Care: Use the on-screen buttons to feed, poke, or interact.
- Balance: Watch the mood indicators and vary actions to steer their temperament.
- Explore: Leave them alone for a bit—some reactions trigger over time.
Controls
- Mouse: Click UI buttons to interact; hover for tooltips (where available).
- Keyboard: Not required; most interactions are mouse-only.
Tips & Tricks
- Interactions stack—repeat actions can push the emo to extremes (sometimes that’s the point!).
- If you want more neutral behavior, alternate calming and stimulating actions.
- Let the game idle for a minute to see passive reactions and new lines.
