Granny 2 Original
Granny 2 Original: When Horror Meets Your Worst Nightmare
Stumbled across this game during a late-night gaming session, and man, did it mess with my sleep schedule. Granny 2 Original takes everything that made the first game terrifying and cranks it up to eleven by adding Grandpa into the mix. Now you've got two deranged seniors hunting you down in what feels like the world's most twisted home invasion scenario.
Released on 01.01.2023 and updated as recently as 08.06.2025, this horror game doesn't mess around. You're trapped in a house with both Granny and Grandpa setting traps, and trust me - they're not interested in baking cookies for you.
How to Play
Your mission is simple in concept but brutal in execution: escape the house within 5 nights. Problem is, you've now got two hunters instead of one, and both of them react to every sound you make. The game throws puzzles at you constantly - figuring out escape routes, accessing different areas, and solving what's essentially a deadly maze.
You can find weapons to temporarily stun your pursuers, which gives you precious seconds to move around. But here's the kicker - by night two, your character starts limping, making stealth even harder. The clock's ticking, and these aren't your typical mind games.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many nights do I have to escape?
You get exactly 5 attempts - 5 nights to figure out your escape route. After that, game over. Makes every move count.
What happens if I make noise?
Both Granny and Grandpa will come running. Unlike the first game where you only had to worry about one of them, now you've got double trouble tracking every footstep and dropped item.
Can I fight back against them?
You can find weapons that temporarily stun them, giving you a brief window to move around. It's not a permanent solution though - they'll be back on your trail soon enough.
Does the game get harder each night?
Absolutely. By the second night, your character starts limping, making stealth movement much more challenging. The pressure really builds up as nights progress.
