Granny locks you in her house and gives you five days to escape. Every sound you make brings her closer. Drop an object? She hears it. Step on a creaky floorboard? She's already on her way. The whole game is tense stealth where one mistake can end your run.
What makes it scary isn't jump scares—it's the constant dread. You'll be searching a room for keys, hear footsteps getting louder, and realize you have maybe three seconds to find a hiding spot before she finds you. That feeling never gets old, it just makes your heart pound harder.
Move slowly and crouch when possible—it reduces noise. Use WASD to walk and interact with objects. Your goal is finding items to unlock the front door—keys, weapons, code pieces. They're scattered throughout the house, often in really inconvenient places.
When Granny gets close, hide under beds, in closets, or in the car. You can see her through cracks while hidden. She'll search for a bit, then leave. The trick is knowing when to stay hidden and when to risk moving while she's in another room.
Memorize where items spawn. They're semi-random, but certain rooms have higher chances of specific items. Check the basement and attic early—they usually have crucial items, but they're also the scariest rooms to search.
Drop items strategically to bait Granny. If you drop a vase on the opposite side of the house, she'll go investigate, giving you time to search elsewhere. This trick saves entire runs when used smartly.
