Version 1.4.0.1

Granny's third minor update, published on both Android and iOS (as version 1.4) May 30th, 2018.

• The options menu now uses the correct background from version 1.3.2 (it was mistakenly reverted to version 1.3's background).

Version 1.5

Granny's fifth major update, published on both Android and iOS August 22nd, 2018.

• There is now a second attic located above the first, accessible by a sliding wall next to the coffin.

  • The garage door is now locked and the wall behind it has been replaced with plywood.
  • Items inside the hood of the car have been moved to make room for the engine.

• Granny's house has been completely retextured to have higher contrast and less color saturation, overall making everything look much grittier.

    • This also fixes the zombie glitch seen by falling through the attic and hiding/unhiding after hitting the ground.
    • This also fixes the glitch allowing the player to regain control of movement during game over cutscenes and witness their own death.
  • The player can no longer grab the hammer through the car's trunk without unlocking it first.

PC Version 1.0

This was also the first release on Steam for PC, published November 20th, 2018 as version 1.0. It featured multiple additional changes.

• The menu was completely redesigned, now being realtime 3D instead of a pre-rendered background.
• There are new settings available on the menu.
  • Texture quality can be swapped between low, medium, and high. Low is approximately equal to the texture quality of the Android releases, with medium being approximately equal to the texture quality of the iOS releases.
  • Advanced video effects (ambient occlusion, depth of field, motion blur, color grading, chromatic aberration, and vignetting) can be toggled.
• There is a new intro cutscene that plays upon starting the game.
• Darker mode can no longer be toggled off and is completely replaced with a new mechanic: the flashlight.
  • The house is now pitch black with the exception of the flashlight, which diminishes in effectiveness at a distance, simulating the fog seen in darker mode.
• Bug fixes.
  • The player can no longer rotate the camera inside the car in wild directions by flicking it to the left/right when hitting the garage wall.
  • The player can no longer fill the gasoline tank without opening the trunk of the car first.

  • There is a new splash screen.
• Minor adjustments.
  • Several of the textures that were darkened in 1.3.2 were reverted to their textures in 1.3. Whether this was intentional or not is unknown, as it was done rather haphazardly and has a complete lack of consistency in what did and didn't get changed.
    • Interestingly enough, the textures for the second attic were given the opposite treatment, as it used the brighter, more colorful texture style of 1.3 in all mobile releases.
  • Some of the textures that lacked high-resolution equivalents were completely changed. (includes the table in the player's bedroom, Granny's baseball bat, wooden chairs, the fan in the jail cell, and the engine part)

Version 1.6

Granny's sixth major update, published on both Android and iOS December 11th, 2018.

• Quality settings are now available.
• Added a new optional nightmare mode.
  • The walls, floors, and ceilings of the house are coated in copious amounts of blood, Granny's appearance is changed, and her bear traps are replaced with a more "organic" variant.
• The menu has been re-rendered to match the PC version's menu, but is still 2D.
• Another new alternate death scene has been added where Granny crashes into the player with the car.
• Granny's spider has a new model that moreso resembles a brown recluse rather than a tarantula.
• Pepper spray can now be found and used as a nonlethal defense mechanism against Granny.
  • The closet under the staircase is now locked by the remote control, another new item.
• Granny now wears a Christmas hat.
• There is a Christmas tree in Granny's hall.

  • The player can no longer fill the gasoline tank without opening the trunk of the car first.
• Engine improvements.
  • Includes all improvements from PC version 1.0, but the splash screen was shortened.
  • The game now utilizes IL2CPP as a backend, improving the app's general security and reducing the ability for ad-removing mods to be created. (Android only)

PC Version 1.1

This was also the first update on Steam for PC, published December 20th, 2018 as version 1.1. It retains most of the differences that PC version 1.0 had over mobile version 1.5, plus a couple of extra additions and changes.

• Some of the textures that were changed in version 1.0 are reverted to their mobile textures. (everything except the jail fan and the engine part)
• The Christmas tree lights up the entire room it is in, making it unique in being one of the only light sources in the house: the other two being the player's flashlight and the table lamp in the backyard shed.
• Nightmare mode has been substantially improved. Walls that are coated in blood now reflect light, appearing wet and sticky, making it much more believable that they are covered in blood.
• Granny has two additional pet rats on nightmare mode only. While not directly harmful, they can bite the player if they are stepped on, alerting Granny and interfering with the player's vision.

On January 15th, 2019, the game was silently updated to remove the Christmas decorations and Santa hat from Granny's head. The version number was not incremented.

Version 1.6.1

Granny's third minor update, published on both Android January 21st, 2019 and iOS January 22nd, 2019.

• Ported the two pet rats from the PC version.
• The Christmas decorations and Santa hat have been removed.
• Changed scripting backend to Mono2x again after community backlash. (Android only)
• Bug fixes.

This update was not released on PC as it already contained all of these features.

Version 1.7

Granny's seventh major update, published on Android March 12th, 2019 and iOS March 13th, 2019.

• A second, much older (and presumably abandoned) house is now connected to the main house, and can be accessed through a metal grate found in the backyard, or a fake wall in the cellar's meat closet.
• Granny has a new pet: a raven that guards an item which has been placed in its cage, located in a corner of the new area's top floor.
• Granny's car now uses a different, much higher quality model. Most notably, it is now possible to see through the windows which were previously opaque.
• A new weapon can be used to defend against Granny: the Freeze Trap.
• Granny no longer locks the door to the player's bedroom on day 2.
• Bug fixes.

PC Version 1.2

This was the second update on Steam for PC, published March 21st, 2019 as version 1.2. It retains all of the differences that PC version 1.1 had over mobile version 1.6.1, as well as the new content from mobile version 1.7.

• The water in the flooded basement of the old house is dirtier and overall looks more realistic: it uses a special shader and has bump mapping, as opposed to the mobile version, where it is simply a translucent sludge texture.

iOS Version 1.7.1

Granny's fourth minor update, published on iOS March 29th, 2019. Curiously, this version was never published to Android, making it the first and only update to be iOS exclusive.

• The game no longer freezes when escaping with the car on practice mode.
• It is no longer possible to clip or "glide" through the planks blocking the old house crawlspace.

• Fixed a glitch with the freeze trap.
• Other minor bug fixes.

Version 1.7.2

Granny's fifth minor update, published on iOS April 4th, 2019. It was backported to Android on April 8th, 2019, also featuring the bug fixes from the previous update, 1.7.1.

• The crickets heard in the backyard are much quieter, no longer drowning out most other noises.
• The bug causing the bloody vision from day 4 onwards to disappear when stepping in bear traps or getting bitten by rats has been fixed.
• Other minor bug fixes.

Version 1.7.3

Granny's sixth minor update, published on Android April 18th, 2019 and iOS April 23rd, 2019.

• Yet another new alternate death scene was added, where Granny drops the player from the attic into a bear trap on the ground floor.
