About Poco
Poco is a free‑to‑play point‑and‑click adventure that mixes hand‑painted 2D backdrops with lively 3D animation. You guide a two‑inch tall clown who has been expelled from a roaming circus and now wanders the mysterious Below World.
The Below World is described as a cluttered realm where everything broken, lost, or unwanted from the Worlds Above decays. While exploring, you befriend five homunculi that each embody a human sense and work together to build a rocket.

Homunculi Characters
Five homunculi, each representing one of the five senses, can be befriended. Their bizarre designs reflect sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, and they each offer assistance in the rocket project.
Interactions with the homunculi are tied to sensory‑themed puzzles, so recognizing which sense a challenge emphasizes helps decide which companion to involve.
- Match puzzle cues to the corresponding sense before engaging a homunculus.
- Build rapport early to ensure each homunculus is available when needed.

Visual Style
