About this game
Granny is a first-person horror escape game. You wake up locked inside a creepy old house, and the old woman who lives there hears every sound you make. You have to find the right tools and keys, open the way out and slip away before she catches you one time too many.
Made by another developer and hosted on Brainlag. This game also connects to: Unity (game engine services).
How to play
Explore the house room by room and pick up anything useful: a hammer, a cutting tool, keys for padlocks and safes, a screwdriver, a wrench and more. When you try something that is not ready yet, the game tells you what is missing, with messages such as 'Need hammer' or 'Need padlock key'. The front door is sealed by several locks, and there is also a car that needs parts and a key before the engine will start.
Granny patrols the house and reacts to noise. Dropped objects and anything else that makes a noise bring her running. If she catches you, the day is lost and you wake up again. You have five days in total, and the fifth is your last chance.
Before you start, choose a difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard or Extreme. Harder settings add extra locks and make the house less forgiving. There is also a Practice option for learning the layout without the pressure.

Tips
- Move slowly and crouch near Granny. She hears everything, so running past her room is how most days end.
- Never just drop items anywhere. Falling objects make noise, so put things down on soft ground or in quiet corners.
- Learn the hiding spots early. You can hide under beds, in wardrobes and in chests, and knowing the nearest one in each room saves you when you hear her coming.
- Watch the floor for bear traps. A trap pins you in place, and you have to hold F to break free.
- Pick one escape route and stick to it. Collecting parts for both the door and the car at once spreads you thin and costs days.
FAQ
Can I play on a phone or Chromebook?
It needs a keyboard and mouse, so play it on a Chromebook, laptop or desktop. It is not set up for phones or tablets here.
What happens if Granny catches me?
You lose that day and wake up again with the house still locked. After the fifth day, the game is over and you have to start again.
Which difficulty should I start on?
Start on Easy or with Practice to learn where the keys and tools are. Once you know the house, Normal and Hard feel much fairer, and Extreme is for when you can plan the whole escape from memory.
