Granny

Gameplay

The player wakes up in a bed in a dirty room on the second floor that they do not recognize. Also, they are locked up in Granny's decrepit house and the only way to escape is to explore the house and find tools and items that will unlock the front door. Meanwhile, the player must outrun granny and hide in beds, closets, tunnels, and coffins. 

In this game, the player has 5 (6 if the player completes the painting in the basement) days to escape the granny house. The player must minimize the noise made as granny hears everything and will come and knock the player out, sending the player to the next day. On Day 5, if the player happened to get knocked out by granny, fall through the unstable flooring in the attic, or get bitten by the spider, the player will get a game over. The player can escape through the car in the garage beneath the basement or through the front door.

The game exists in five levels of difficulties - practice, easy, normal, hard, and extreme. In practice mode, granny is not inside the house. In easy, normal, and hard modes, granny is slower than the player. But granny's speed increases with an increase in difficulty. In extreme mode, granny is faster than the player. 

Also, the player can choose to play in nightmare mode. In nightmare mode, granny's house is splattered with blood in every nook and cranny. Also, the bear traps are replaced by the flesh trap which wriggles and squeals when the player steps on it, alerting granny. Lastly, there will be spectral rats roaming around the house. If the player happens to be near the rats, they will get beaten, and in the process will alert granny.

Granny is a crazy old woman who attacks her player (her enemy) by biting them with a baseball bet. She searches the house for the player by hearing the noise that had been made by them and comes after them. When she spots the player, she will come forward towards the player, or if she loses sight, she may lay bear-traps to catch the player. If the player is caught, granny will come towards the bear trap and knock the player out, unless the player manages to free themselves of the bear trap by looking down and press the remove button.

Gameplay

The player wakes up in a bed in a dirty room in the basement that they do not recognize. Unlike the original game, the player was locked up in Grandpa's house instead of Granny's. Also, they are locked up in the house and the only way to escape is to explore the house and find tools and items that will unlock the front door. In addition to having granny in the house, the player should also stay away from grandpa unless they are playing in practice mode or "granny only" mode. Meanwhile, the player must outrun granny and grandpa and hide in beds, closets, tunnels, and coffins. In this house, there are three ways of escaping, via the front door, via the helicopter, or via the boat in the sewage area in the basement.

In this game, the player has 5 days to escape Grandpa's house. The player must minimize the noise made as granny hears everything and will come and knock the player out, sending the player to the next day. Unlike granny, grandpa is deaf and does not hear everything. The only noises that grandpa hears is the dropping of the vase opposite the piano, using the Maiden in the basement execution room, and the Slendrina's baby being shot. On Day 5, if the player happened to get knocked out by granny or grandpa, or got eaten by the water monster, the player will get a game over. 

The game exists in five levels of difficulties - practice, easy, normal, hard, and extreme. In practice mode, both grandparents are not inside the house. In easy or normal modes, the player has the ability to choose "Only Granny/ Only Grandpa" as an option. In easy, normal, and hard modes, granny or grandpa is slower than the player. But their speed increases with an increase in difficulty. In extreme mode, both grandparents are faster than the player. 

Like the original game, there is also nightmare mode. In nightmare mode, blood is splattered in every corner of grandpa's house. Also, the bear traps are replaced by the flesh trap which wriggles and squeals when the player steps on it, alerting the grandparents. Lastly, spectral rats are replaced by spectral spiders. However, unlike the rats in the original game, the spiders do not bite the player nor alert the grandparents.

Granny is a crazy old woman who attacks her player (her enemy) by biting them with a baseball bet. Grandpa is Granny's husband and he is a deaf person. She searches the house for the player by hearing the noise that had been made by them and comes after them. When she spots the player, she will come forward towards the player, or if she loses sight, she may lay bear-traps to catch the player. If the player is caught, granny will come towards the bear trap and knock the player out, unless the player manages to free themselves of the bear trap by looking down and press the remove button. Unlike granny, grandpa does not lay down any bear traps. But, when grandpa spots the player, he hits them with his cane instead of a baseball bat, sending the player to the next day. 

Weapons available to knock out granny, grandpa or the baby includes the stun gun, the shotgun, and the grenade. Keep in mind that if you are close to the grenade when it is thrown, you will be sent to the next day. If the baby is knocked out, the grandparents will know the player's location and come after them.
