Granny

Granny is a first-person horror game created by Swedish indie developer DVloper (Dennis Vukanovic). Players find themselves trapped in a sinister big house, locked in by a psychopathic grandmother, with no memory of how they got there. The game is set in a tense atmosphere where players must explore the house, collect various items to protect themselves and find a way out. Granny has sharp hearing and will track the player's movements, requiring players to stay quiet and avoid dropping objects or stepping on creaky floors. The goal is to escape within five days (in-game attempts) or be caught by Granny. Known for its minimalist design and intense horror, the game has gained widespread popularity since its release, inspiring sequels and an active community.

In Granny, players explore a multi-story house from a first-person perspective, with core gameplay focused on stealth and puzzle-solving. Players must move slowly, crouch to reduce noise, and avoid noisy floorboards. Various items can be collected, such as hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, and keys, used to solve puzzles or remove obstacles. Players need to find keys and parts to unlock the main door or alternative escape routes. Granny patrols the house and will chase if she hears sounds; players can hide in closets or under beds temporarily. The game includes strategic elements, like deliberately making noise to distract Granny while advancing elsewhere. Players have five days (in-game attempts) to escape, with the ability to retry after failure. Difficulty levels adjust Granny's aggressiveness and trap frequency, affecting game duration.
