About This Game

Plot

Play as Raiju, an electric dog spirit searching for his missing brother Fuju, a Benevolent Wind Spirit whose disappearance has thrown the winds into chaos. With powerful yokai emerging in his wake, collect the 36 Heavenly Wind Bells to unlock the path forward and bring him home.

Play Your Way

Haiju is a classic collectathon at heart, with optional RPG elements for players seeking deeper narrative and worldbuilding, designed so neither system ever interrupts the flow of the other. All dialogue and NPC interaction is entirely optional, woven into the RPG layer for those who choose to engage with it. Drop in for a short session or stay for the long haul. 

The World

Haiju is rooted in traditional Japanese mythology and folklore, bringing ancient spirits, sacred landscapes, and timeless legends to life across every realm.

Boss Fights

The deeper you dig into Haiju's world, the more secrets reveal themselves. Seek out hidden boss battles that demand skills beyond the standard game, and track down the wise sages to learn the abilities needed to topple these ancient foes.
