The action of The Conjuring House is set at the beginning of the 20th century. A group of supernatural researchers is dispatched to investigate an abandoned Victorian house, which is said to feature certain anomalies. Also involved is the main protagonist of the game – a journalist responsible for documenting the entire process. When the team of specialists vanishes, the responsibility of solving the mystery of the dark mansion falls onto the main protagonist.
In The Conjuring House for PC, a player observes the action from the first person perspective (FPP). The titular mansion is haunted by an evil entity manifesting itself in the form of demons, wraiths, and monsters taken directly from terrifying nightmares. The grim atmosphere of the game is escalated by the occult symbols and altars set up for disturbing rituals.
Because the main protagonist is completely vulnerable, in order to survive, he has to hide from his adversaries and sneak past them, however, sometimes the only choice he is left with is to run for it. When exploring this terrifying place, he also has to solve more or less complex environmental puzzles.
The Conjuring House features high-quality visuals based on the Unreal Engine 4 technology, which allowed developers to design detailed surroundings. Players are bound to appreciate the realistic lighting effects. The audio layer of the game is crucial when it comes to building up the atmosphere, especially with its dedicated soundtrack.

Game Ratings for The Conjuring House Video Game.
GameSkinny: 4 / 10 by Zack Palm
The painful progress of The Conjuring House makes it a difficult game to recommend for any horror fan looking for a fun scare this Halloween.
Gaming Nexus: 7.4 / 10 by Sean Colleli
The conjuring house has confusing, repetitive level design and cringe-worthy voice acting, but the scares are hard-hitting and the gameplay is a constant risk balance of exploration and self-preservation. It's not a great horror game, but it does have some great moments that make its relatively brief campaign memorable.
