Paper Bride is a Chinese horror mystery puzzle game which includes traditional Chinese folk cultural elements. Download and experience it if you are interested in traditional Chinese culture. When the groom turns toward his bride on the wedding ceremony, her traditional red wedding dress suddenly turns into an ominous white paper one before she vanishes without a trace. You will play as the groom to search for the truth and have bizarre encounters, gradually learning about the dark mystic custom in the bride's home village and a story from the past... Inspirations: There are lots of creative horror stories in traditional Chinese folklore: paper figures blocking the way, underworld spirits marching, bizarre temples, ghost trap... But these elements are rarely used in games. After having nightmares about Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Extensive Records of the Taiping Era, A Wicked Ghost and other novels and movies, we think it's a shame that only we could experience the horror, so we made this traditional Chinese horror mystery puzzle game to share with the world. Features: -Better Graphics: Better and more stylized art assets and more animations for an immersive experience as though in a horror movie. -Better Performance: Added dialogues to make the main character more relatable. -More Horror: 2.53x more terrifying than Hospital 13, not recommended for anyone with heart conditions. -Better Experience: More reasonable puzzles without minute objects or tappable areas. -Reasonable Difficulty: No more complex puzzles in the early game as the difficulty increases with each chapter.

I was commissioned to come to a village, but when I came, I found that the village was very strange. Since a bride committed suicide half a year ago, the people in the village began to die slowly. All of a sudden, people were panicked, and the villagers moved out. And just a few days before I came, the village chief also died suddenly... As I probed, I gradually discovered that this is the place I've been looking for... Use your observation skills to find all the hidden clues. Fascinating storyline. Solve brain-burning mysteries and embark on a thrilling adventure!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Paper Bride at 4.7 against The Conjuring's 4.2. Paper Bride also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (413 vs 11). The Conjuring's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paper Bride holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paper Bride has 413 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Paper Bride's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Conjuring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paper Bride ships an update every 5 months, The Conjuring every 24 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
