The game *Granny* is a popular horror escape-room style game developed by DVloper, released initially in 2017 for mobile platforms (iOS and Android) and later for PC. It has gained a large following due to its simple, yet tense and scary atmosphere, with an antagonist who relentlessly hunts the player.
Origin and Concept:
*Granny* is part of the larger *Slendrina* universe, which includes several other horror games by DVloper. In *Granny*, the player is trapped in a house with an old woman (Granny) who is blind but has extremely acute hearing. The player's objective is to escape the house within five days without being caught by Granny.
Gameplay and Levels:
The game is set in a creaky, multi-level house. There are several rooms, secret passages, and items scattered around that the player must use to unlock doors, disable traps, and find a way out.
Levels/Areas:
1. Basement: Where you start. It contains key tools like the hammer and various locks.
2. Main floor: Where Granny spends much of her time. It's important for accessing other parts of the house.
3. Upper floors: There are multiple rooms with puzzles and key items.
4. Attic: This area holds more puzzles and is often essential for completing your escape.
5. Garage: Sometimes the escape involves fixing up a car in the garage to drive away.
Difficulty Levels:
Granny offers different levels of difficulty:
- Easy: Granny moves slower, and there are fewer traps.
- Normal: Standard speed and difficulty.
- Hard: Granny is faster and more sensitive to noise.
- Extreme: Granny is very fast, and there are additional challenges.
- Practice Mode: Granny is absent, allowing you to explore the house and get familiar with the layout without danger.
Rules:
1. Noise is Key: Granny hears almost everything. If you drop an item or knock something over, she will rush to the noise. You can hide under beds or in wardrobes to avoid her.
2. Five Days to Escape: You start with five 'lives' or days. Each time Granny catches you, a day passes, and you wake up back in your room.
3. Traps and Obstacles: Granny sets bear traps around the house, and there are several locked doors that require keys or tools to open.
4. Tools for Escape: You'll need to collect various tools such as hammers, pliers, or wrenches to disable locks and traps, and keys to open doors or unlock specific paths.
5. Multiple Escape Routes: You can either escape through the front door by solving puzzles to unlock it, or by fixing a car in the garage to drive away.
Tips for Success:
1. Learn the Layout: Familiarize yourself with the house's layout so you can move quickly and quietly, and know where to hide.
3. Keep Track of Items: Some items are essential for specific tasks. Always remember where you leave them, as you may need them later in your escape.
4. Be Strategic with Hiding: If you think Granny is close, hide under beds or inside wardrobes and listen carefully to her movements.
5. Don’t Rush: While it may be tempting to move quickly, Granny's sensitive hearing can detect even the smallest noise, so take your time.
6. Stay Calm: The tense atmosphere can make you panic, but staying calm is crucial for planning your moves and outsmarting Granny.
Additional Notes:
- *Granny* is well-known for its jump scares, so players should be prepared for sudden appearances of the old woman.
- The game has multiple endings depending on how you escape.
- There have been updates adding more content, such as new items, mechanics, and the introduction of Granny’s pet spider, which adds another layer of difficulty.
