1. Objective of the Game

In Granny, you are trapped in a dark and mysterious house, and your objective is to escape within five days. However, you must remain as silent as possible because Granny is always on the lookout for noise. If she hears you, she will chase you down and attempt to kill you.

2. Movement and Interaction

To move around the house, use the following controls:

W, A, S, D – Move forward, left, backward, and right, respectively.
Mouse – Look around, interact with objects, open doors, and pick up items.
Shift (Hold) – Run (only when necessary, but be cautious as it makes noise!).
Spacebar – Crouch to reduce noise (very useful when hiding).

As you explore the house, you will come across various objects that you can interact with. Be mindful of your actions, as even opening a door or dropping something can alert Granny.

3. The House and Dangerous Objects

The house is filled with dangerous traps and items that can harm you, such as:

Knives, Axes, and Bear Traps – Avoid touching these objects as they can injure you and slow your progress.
Hidden Rooms – Look for hidden spaces that can be used for hiding or finding useful items.
Locked Doors – Some areas in the house are locked and require specific keys to access. Search for keys hidden throughout the house to unlock these doors.

4. Granny’s Behavior

Granny is a persistent and dangerous enemy. Here’s how she behaves:

She patrols the house and listens for sounds. If she hears you, she will immediately pursue you.
If Granny sees you, she will chase you until she catches you, and it’s game over. Keep an eye on her movements to avoid detection.
She may also set traps or block paths, so be ready to outsmart her.

Stay alert, keep quiet, and use the environment to your advantage to hide or escape from her sight.

5. Finding the Keys

To escape the house, you need to find the keys that unlock the front door. These keys are scattered around the house in different rooms. Here’s where to look:

Basement – A hidden area where you might find the front door key.
Bedrooms – Often contain drawers or lockers where keys can be hidden.
Closets – Sometimes keys are stored in these, so make sure to check them carefully.

Once you find all the necessary keys, you must get to the front door and unlock it without being caught by Granny. If Granny is nearby, use your stealth skills to avoid detection while unlocking the door.

6. Tips for Surviving

Here are some useful tips to help you survive and escape:

Be quiet! Every step, door opening, or object moving can alert Granny to your location.
Use the crouch function (Spacebar) to move quietly.
Try to memorize the layout of the house to move efficiently and avoid getting trapped.
Hide in closets or under beds if Granny gets too close.
Keep an eye on Granny’s movement pattern to avoid direct confrontation.
Don’t rush; take your time to gather items and explore the house safely.

7. Conclusion

The game is all about strategy, patience, and stealth. Can you escape Granny’s house within five days? It’s not going to be easy, but with focus and a little bit of luck, you can find your way out!

Good luck, and remember: Granny hears everything!
