Our take on Grandpa
The defining detail is the house-wide puzzle chain: separate challenges interact with one another while Grandpa responds to sounds made during the escape.
What is Grandpa?
Grandpa is an early access survival horror game set in a house where a kidnapped man must find a way out.
The escape route involves solving numerous interconnected puzzles, opening locked doors, and avoiding traps. The game uses a first-person perspective. Grandpa reacts to sounds, including objects dropped during exploration, and may run toward the noise. Players can hide inside wardrobes or desks. Syringes can temporarily neutralize Grandpa, while fear can cause the character to close his eyes until he calms down. The game centers on exploring the house, managing encounters with Grandpa, and finding a way to escape.
