1. Overview and Background

Granny was first released for Android and iOS in late 2017 and quickly gained popularity due to its simple yet terrifying concept. DVloper, the indie developer behind the game, had already gained attention with other horror-themed projects, but Granny became the defining title of his portfolio.

The game’s premise is straightforward: you wake up in a locked room inside Granny’s house, and you have five days to escape. The catch? Granny can hear every sound you make. Drop an item, knock over a vase, or open a creaky door, and she will come running. The only way to survive is to move quietly, hide when necessary, and find all the tools you need to unlock your escape route.
