Granny Legacy places the player inside a multi-room house where movement must be precise and quiet. The objective is to locate essential items, unlock restricted areas, and reach one of the possible escape routes before the final day expires. The environment is compact but layered, with attics, basements, crawl spaces, and connecting halls. The presence of Granny, who patrols and responds to sound, forces the player to evaluate every step before taking action.

Core Gameplay Loop and Task Structure

The gameplay of Granny Legacy relies on stealth, route planning, and careful resource use. Players do not have combat options and must instead use awareness and timing to stay out of danger. The process of escaping the house requires gathering objects placed across different rooms, some of which are accessible only after solving simple environmental puzzles. A typical run includes:

•         Searching for scattered components like keys or tools
•         Avoiding noise sources that alert Granny
•         Opening new pathways to expand movement options
•         Planning the order of rooms to explore
•         Executing the escape once all items are collected
  This structure creates a loop where each movement choice directly affects survival chances.

Progression and Learning Curve

Progression in Granny Legacy is not tied to character upgrades but rather to player familiarity with the house layout. Early attempts often involve trial and error as players learn room positions, hiding spots, and common patrol routes. With each session, movement becomes more efficient and decisions more deliberate. Although item placements may shift slightly, the overall structure encourages strategy development rather than memorization. The increasing understanding of the environment naturally reduces the time required to prepare an escape.

Environmental Interaction and Threat Behavior

The house itself becomes a central part of the challenge. Certain surfaces produce sound, some objects fall when bumped, and doors may attract attention if opened too quickly. Granny reacts to these cues with immediate pursuit, pushing the player to use hiding spots and indirect routes. The environment also contains shortcuts and quiet areas that give temporary safety. Choosing when to move quickly or remain hidden is critical, especially during later days when patrol intensity increases.
