Kaidan - J-Horror

Strange photos.

Impossible messages.

Things that should not exist.

Original J-Horror stories you can read in one minute.

What if your phone started collecting photos you never took?

What if a second camera app appeared on your device that nobody installed?

What if someone read your messages before you sent them?

Kaidan is a short-form J-Horror reading app that reimagines Japan's centuries-old ghost-story tradition for the smartphone generation. Each story can be read in about one minute and ends on an unresolved detail that lingers long after the final line.

【Flagship Series: Everyday Doors】

Tagged — your phone collects photos of you in places you have never been.

Camera 2 — a second camera app appears that nobody installed.

The Other Mother — the school remembers your second child, but you only have one.

The 13th Floor — your building doesn't have one.

Seen — someone reads your messages before you send them.
