Granny Original - Escape the Nightmare House
Stumbled across this horror gem while browsing late at night, and man, did it give me the chills! Granny Original isn't just your typical jump-scare fest - it's a proper puzzle game wrapped in a horror package. You're trapped in this creepy house with a psychotic granny hunting you down, and the only way out is solving mind-bending puzzles while staying silent. Released on 01.01.2023 and updated as recently as 08.06.2025, this game keeps getting better.
The whole premise sounds simple - escape the house. But trust me, it's anything but easy. Every creak of the floorboard could be your last, and Granny's got ears like a hawk. One wrong move and she's on you faster than you can blink.
How to Play
Your mission is straightforward but terrifying - solve puzzles to unlock your way out while avoiding Granny at all costs. You'll need to figure out which keys work where, what the heck to do with random items like watermelons, and how books factor into your escape plan. The main door has multiple locks, so you're in for quite the challenge.
