Netflix expands TV game lineup with Conjuring spinoff
Netflix announced The Conjuring: Unspoken, a horror game available exclusively through its service from October 13. Players use a phone as a controller.
The game is a story-driven paranormal investigation set at the Red Lion Inn in England. Players search for clues and influence events through dialogue choices.
Netflix says prior knowledge of the Conjuring films is not required, though familiarity with the story may add context to some appearances.
Supermassive Games developed the title; the studio is known for narrative horror games including The Quarry and Until Dawn. Its work on the game comes as it faces planned layoffs.
Supermassive said in August it intended to cut as many as 75 jobs. A former studio director later said on LinkedIn that over 70 people would be leaving. The article gives no further details about the game’s release beyond its launch date.
