What players say
The original Granny excels because it strips survival horror down to its absolute essentials: isolation, sound, and spatial paranoia. It remains a masterclass in atmospheric indie game design that set a benchmark for the genre. Score: 8.5/10 - A tense, minimalist horror classic.
Phenomenal horror game. Peak lore that I need more of. Awesome gameplay. Rarely do games nowadays make me want to play for the gameplay and not just the story, Granny however still is one of them. Happy soon-to-be 10th Anniversary, Granny! And thank you to DVloper for making such an awesome game that I was too scared to play back then, but that still holds up to this day. Not to mention the updates. Not to mention...
