The Conjuring Interactive Horror Game in Development by Until Dawn Creators and Netflix

Spooky season is officially underway as Netflix drops a brand-new interactive thriller set within the terrifying cinematic universe of The Conjuring. Developed by the masters of interactive horror at Supermassive Games, The Conjuring: Unspoken officially launches on October 13, making it the ultimate haunting experience for Halloween.

Originating in 2013, The Conjuring has blossomed into a massive, interconnected horror franchise spanning nine films, including various spine-chilling spin-offs. Although the iconic paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren are set to conclude their main-series journey in 2025’s Last Rites, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down, with a prequel titled The Conjuring: First Communion slated for 2027. Before that theatrical release, however, enthusiasts can dive into the lore from an entirely fresh perspective through Netflix’s latest narrative gaming venture.

Netflix Dips Its Toes in The Conjuring Universe

To bring The Conjuring: Unspoken to life, Netflix partnered with Supermassive Games—acclaimed creators of Until Dawn and various choice-driven psychological thrillers. Given their stellar track record in crafting deeply atmospheric, decision-based horror, Netflix could not have chosen a more fitting developer for this dark adaptation.

In this chilling adventure, players step into the shoes of Francesca Noakes, a seasoned demonologist who travels to England to investigate unsettling paranormal disturbances at the infamous Red Lion Inn. Throughout the journey, players must utilize their in-game mobile devices as specialized supernatural investigative tools functioning as EMF readers, infrared cameras, and spirit boxes. Expect an onslaught of harrowing encounters as you press forward to achieve your ultimate objective: locating and capturing the malignant spirits tormenting the Cooper household.

While Unspoken anchors itself firmly within The Conjuring mythos, the promotional trailer notably omits any direct references to Ed and Lorraine Warren. Naturally, there remains a strong possibility the legendary duo could make a cameo, given their history of crossing the Atlantic for supernatural cases like the one in The Conjuring 2. Alternatively, this project may function as a standalone anthology spin-off—much like The Nun or Annabelle—operating tangentially to the main timeline.

At present, The Conjuring: Unspoken remains a Netflix exclusive with no announcements regarding traditional console or PC ports. Consequently, experiencing the terror requires an active Netflix subscription. If you thoroughly enjoyed psychological interactive experiments like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, this harrowing digital ghost hunt is guaranteed to satisfy your appetite for fear.
