The gameplay revolves around silence, stealth, and smart decision-making. You creep through rooms while crouching to minimize noise, memorize which floorboards creak, and carefully place objects down instead of dropping them. One wrong step or a careless bump can send Granny running straight to your location. You hide in closets, slide under beds, and hold your breath as her footsteps grow louder. When she gets too close, you can create distractions by throwing objects into distant rooms to lure her away, buying yourself precious seconds to solve puzzles or search for tools.
