Okay, first of all, why does every creepy house have to smell like old wood and regret? The moment I stepped into Scary Granny, I knew I wasn't getting out without a few jump scares and maybe a full-blown panic attack. You start off trapped in this dimly lit house with creaky floors, locked doors, and - oh yeah - a terrifying old woman who wants to stab you. Not scold you, not chase you out with a broom. She literally wants to end you. Armed with just your legs and, if you're lucky, a knife, the goal is simple: survive long enough to find the key and escape. But of course, "simple" here means quietly sneaking through hallways while trying not to scream every time Granny pops out from nowhere. The controls are straightforward - arrow keys or WASD to move, mouse or tap to look around, and spacebar to interact or attack if you've managed to grab that ever-elusive knife. But trust me, no amount of controls can prepare you for how suddenly Granny moves. One second you're checking a drawer for clues, the next she's breathing down your neck like it's personal. The tension builds with every footstep, every door creak, every distant laugh that echoes down the hallway. Sometimes you think you're safe, and then - bam! - there she is, standing in the doorway like it's her job. Honestly, half of the game is just trying not to scream at your own screen. But when you manage to time your moves right - ducking into a room, hiding behind a table, or taking her down with the knife - it feels like a mini action movie moment. What really makes Scary Granny fun is the unpredictability. No two playthroughs feel exactly the same. Sometimes she's slow and confused; other times she's speed-walking like she's late for church. The map isn't huge, but it's layered with just enough corners, keys, traps, and fake-outs to keep you guessing. You unlock new levels as you go, and with each one, Granny gets a little smarter, a little faster, and a lot creepier. It's not a deep horror narrative, and it doesn't need to be. It's a short burst of hide-and-seek terror that plays well whether you're alone in a dark room (not recommended) or trying to out-scare your friends. Just don't get cocky when you think you're close to escaping - Granny always has a surprise. And trust me, it's never cookies.
