Granny is a 2017 horror escape room videogame made by Dennis Vukanovic, more commonly known as DVloper, that is available on the App Store, the Play Store, and Steam.[1][2][4][5] It includes blood and violence, but the art style does not depict them realistically.[1][3][5][6] The game is canonically related to some of DVloper’s other games, notably those in his Slendrina series.[3] The app does not have a privacy policy.[2][6]
Gameplay
Since the game Granny is an escape room, the player needs to get several items to escape, including but not limited to a master key, a screwdriver, and cutting pliers.[4] As the player is trying to solve the puzzles to his escape, the game’s main antagonist, named Granny, is trying to hunt the player down and if caught, the player is beaten up by Granny with a wooden bat.[6] There is no way to save the game, so the player has to either escape (win), die (lose), or exit the game.[5] The game is already hard, but it can be made slightly easier or even harder.[6][5]
While playing the game, the player has five ‘days’ to beat the game. The game starts on day one, and each time Granny catches the player, the day count goes up by one (day one becomes day two, two becomes three, etc.). If the player is caught on the fifth day, the player fails, and therefore dies.[1] The game is already hard, but it can be made easier or even harder.[6] If the player assembles a painting in the basement, Granny rewards the player with an extra day. The player always initially spawns in one of the bedrooms.[3]
Granny
Granny is the main antagonist of the videogame Granny. She wields a blood-stained bat as her primary weapon of choice. She is balding, and she wears a grey dress. She has great hearing, and she will chase any sound made in her house as the player is trying to escape. Granny occasionally places bear traps on the floor, which she can hear as it holds the player in place.[3]
The player is not the first victim of Granny, as she has abducted at least one other person.[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3][lower-alpha 4]
Granny may be temporarily gotten rid of by using a shotgun or a tranquilizer crossbow.[3][4] A key is needed to access the crossbow and its darts, which may be used an infinite amount of times. The shotgun, which appears to be manufactured by Iver Johnson,[7] is broken apart and layed out in random spots around the house, but the player can restore it.[3][4][7] The shotgun gets rid of Granny for a longer amount of time than the crossbow.[lower-alpha 5] To compensate, the shotgun has a limited amount of ammo while the crossbow may be used as many times as desired.[3][7]
Nightmare
Nightmare is a gameplay option in Granny.[lower-alpha 6][lower-alpha 7][lower-alpha 8] It has visual, auditory, and gameplay differences with standard Granny. There is blood all over the house, and Granny looks more rotten and decomposed. The player’s footsteps sound squishier and stickier, as even the floor is covered in blood. Albino rats roam the house, too, and they alert Granny to the player’s location if the player steps onto a rat.[3] Nightmare does not affect the shotgun nor the crossbow.[7]
Sequels
DVloper has made two sequels to Granny: Granny: Chapter Two and Granny 3.[lower-alpha 9][3]
Granny: Chapter Two
Granny: Chapter Two has the same basic concept as Granny: the player has to escape the house. But, there are differences. The layout of the house is different and there is a new enemy: Grandpa. Grandpa is the husband of Granny and he is equally disheveled as Granny. His weapon is a bloody cane.[3]
Granny 3
Granny 3 is like the other two, but with a different setting and a new enemy: Slendrina. Slendrina is the granddaughter of Granny and Grandpa. The setting of the game is the Grandparents’s mansion. The mansion has jail cells and a subway train.[3] Unlike the other two games, Granny 3 is not available on the App Store.
Reception
Granny became a success after release,[3][5][6][8] gaining reviews from God Minded Gaming and Common Sense Media, both of whom gave middle-ish reviews.[5][6] The players who played the games gave mixed reviews.[1][2][8]
Notes
- ↑ Dennis Vukanovic is commonly known as DVloper.[1][2] That alias is a portmanteau of his name and the word developer.[3]
- ↑ A skeleton lies deep inside Granny’s basement.[3][7]
- ↑ Granny’s basement has a lot of blood splatters on the floor.[3][7]
- ↑ A note was left by one of Granny’s previous victims in the basement that, in cursive, says “This is my fifth day in this house. She chases me wherever I go. I’m quite injured and my body hurts. The only thing I remember before I woke up in this house is that I was driving when my car suddenly broke down. I went out to see what the problem was when someone suddenly hit me in the back of the head. I have managed to open a pair of locks on the front door but that’s all. Why does she do this? I hope no one will experience the same thing as I did. If I do not survive this and if someone finds this message, I have noticed that she sometimes hides things inside of fruits.”[3][7]
- ↑ Granny respawns after a certain amount of time that depends on the weapon and the difficulty setting.[7]
- ↑ Nightmare is toggleable is the main menu when starting-up the game.
- ↑ A skeleton lies deep inside Granny’s basement.[3][7]
- ↑ Contrary to what the name might suggest, Nightmare isn’t actually a difficulty setting.[3][7] This is because of the following four reasons:[7] it is toggled separately from the main difficulty settings, it doesn’t affect Granny’s presence nor speed, it doesn’t affect how long Granny gets knocked out for, and it doesn’t affect the amount of locks on the front door.
- ↑ Between Granny: Chapter Two and Granny 3, DVloper made a game called The Twins. In it, Granny and Grandpa appear, but they are not the main antagonists.[3] Since Granny is not (one of) the main antagonists, The Twins is not considered a sequel, but it is still part of the same canon.
