About the Collector

Someone has spent a lifetime collecting kaidan — village taboos, rules of old houses, stories no one dares to finish. Each one goes into a case file. Each anomaly is sealed in a jar.

The Kaidan Collector is a platform of eerie story-mystery games by StarBloom. Short tales are free and take under an hour; longer ones will follow. Play in your browser, on PC or phone.

FAQ

Do I need to download anything?

No. Every game runs right in your browser — PC, phone or tablet. Landscape works best.

Is it free?

All short tales (under an hour) are free, no sign-up. Longer tales will be marked.

Will I lose my progress?

Games autosave in your browser. Switching browsers or clearing site data erases it. Online saves are on the way.

Who is it for?

Contains horror, grotesque imagery and implied death. Recommended for ages 12+. Not for the faint of heart.
