Kaebon

KAEBON is a horror game rooted in Thai beliefs and traditions. You take on work for people with unfulfilled vows, visiting places they fear returning to and preparing offerings for rituals. What a client requests may not be what the presence at the site wants, so letters, clues and details in each location can help reveal the story behind the job. Across 13 nights, read instructions, buy supplies with the client’s budget and complete each ritual before dawn. Your choices and time matter: exploring, travelling or returning to the shop for different offerings leaves less time to finish. Dreams also reveal moments from the lives of people connected to the places you visit.

Gameplay and features

• Investigate each job: Read clients’ letters and instructions, explore unsettling nighttime locations, and look for clues—including details missing from the story—to choose suitable offerings.
• Prepare rituals before dawn: Select and arrange offerings, then decide how many incense sticks to light. After completing the work, send the broker a photograph to collect your pay.
• Manage supplies and time: Spend the client’s budget on offerings. You can return to the shop if you choose the wrong supplies, but each trip uses time needed for exploration and the ritual.
• Uncover stories through dreams: When you fall asleep, dreams reveal moments from the lives of people connected to the places you have visited, including their fears and relationships.
