Explained simply
The Conjuring is a horror film franchise that started in 2013, focused on paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren dealing with supernatural phenomena. The films, inspired by cases the Warrens actually worked on, have become very successful and spawned numerous sequels and related films. The franchise has built a loyal audience within the horror genre.
Netflix has been developing a gaming service for its subscribers, moving beyond just films and television programmes. As streaming services expand their offerings, many are testing whether popular film franchises can be adapted into games that appeal to audiences. This is part of a larger trend where entertainment studios attempt to engage viewers through different types of media.
Horror films have often been adapted into games over the years, though the quality and appeal of such games varies widely. As streaming services compete for subscriber engagement, creating games based on well-known franchises is one strategy to offer more entertainment options to audiences.
