Have you ever been here? Curled up under the covers late at night, scrolling through horror stories, every line making the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. The lonely rental apartment in the tale is identical to the room you’re sitting in right now. The strange creak the main character hears in the dead of night? You swear you heard that exact same noise last night. Even the page they’re reading, and the screen you’re fixed on this very moment, are starting to blur together. This is what *Ghostly Simulator* was made for. This is no ordinary horror game. It is an eerily authentic mobile phone simulator — open it, and it’s like holding an unmarked phone of unknown origin, its home screen frozen with two apps you can never delete: 【Empty Obituary Reader】 and 【Cyber Exorcism】. 【Empty Obituary Reader】 is your first stop. It holds a library of horror stories pulled straight from the everyday reality of life in China. No haunted mansions in the woods, no centuries-old curses — only the mundane moments we all live through, twisted into something terrifying. There’s *Don’t Turn On Your Camera After Midnight*, a tale of late-night paranoia in a solo apartment; *It’ll Get Easier*, a phrase burned into the minds of generations; the soul-crushing pressure of the Gaokao, China’s life-defining college entrance exam; the hollow familiarity of the annual Spring Festival Gala, China’s biggest New Year broadcast. Every scene is one you know. But the most terrifying thing isn’t the stories. It’s the reader itself. Altered text, clues tucked between paragraphs, hidden truths the stories won’t tell you — all of it can be unravelled here. You can shut down the simulator whenever you want. You can pretend this was all just a little bedtime thrill. But remember: reality will always be far more horrifying than any story. That knock at your door? It might not be in your head. If you encounter any unexplained, paranormal occurrences, tap the 【Cyber Exorcism】 app. It’s your only lifeline.
