Games like Granny: hide, sneak, escape

Evil Nun is the closest game to Granny: a locked building, a hunter who hears you, and a way out you have to find. Ice Scream and Mr. Meat come from the same studio, and Hello Neighbor is the bigger, stranger take on sneaking around a house.

How Granny plays

Granny is a mobile horror game by DVloper, released in 2017. You wake up locked in a house and have five days to escape. Granny hunts you by sound, so a dropped item or a creaky floor brings her running. Keys, tools and hidden paths lead to the exits.

Granny: Chapter Two and Granny 3 followed, with bigger maps and more than one hunter.

Tips for escape horror

Walk, do not run, when the hunter is close. Use your first day to learn the map without carrying anything. Hide under beds or in wardrobes when you hear steps, and wait until they fade.

Most of these games punish noise more than speed. Slow and quiet wins.
