It starts as a Halloween dare:
Break into the old lady’s house behind the abandoned bookshop.
Everyone’s heard the rumours…
She murdered her whole family and hid their bodies under the floorboards.
She never leaves the house — and eats spiders and worms.
Some say she’s over a hundred years old.
Others say she’s immortal — and knows everything.
Just stories… right?
You keep telling yourself that —
until the door slams shut behind you,
and you realise you’re inside an elaborate trap.
What started as a thrill becomes a game of survival.
And while Granny may not see well,
she hears everything —
and moves like lightning 
Run. Hide. Plot your escape.
Just don’t let her catch you.
Because once Granny’s got you in her arms…
she’ll never let you go.
