Escape With Your Sanity in Psychologically-Driven Horror Game ‘The Conjuring House’

Published

on

Fancy another psychologically-driven horror game to keep you up at night? RYM Games looks to have one for you in their newly-announced game, The Conjuring House, which just that you’re aware, has no connection to the film franchise. Set for release this September, The Conjuring House “puts players in a constant state of anxiety that crescendos into raw panic and terror.”

You play as a journalist sent to document a team of mediums and parapsychologists that were sent to the now-abandoned Victorian house to find more information regarding the death of the house’s owner. Naturally, all of the team mysteriously disappears, leaving you as the sole survivor. Now it’s up to you to escape the house with your life and sanity intact.

The game allows you to progress in a non-linear fashion throughout the house, allowing you to take a one of a couple of paths during your playthrough. Quests can be tackled in any order, but keep in mind that just because an area that you once covered was “safe” the first time, doesn’t mean that it won’t be that way the next time. Expect demon dolls, reanimated corpses and a mysterious woman who appears randomly to mess with your head.

Dripping with atmosphere, The Conjuring House might be the thing for those looking to get their psychological horror fix. Keep an eye on it on its Steam page.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
