Granny Simulator is an indie simulation released in 2019 featuring asymmetric multiplayer where two players assume opposing roles within a household setting. One player controls a grandmother attempting to complete her everyday routine, while the other takes on the grandson deploying improvised weaponry and physics-based sabotage to interfere. The mechanics include household-task-completion, physics-based-sabotage, improvised-weaponry, and hidden secret-rooms-and-chests that players can discover for weapons and replayability. Reviewers highlight how the physics-driven chaos creates unpredictable moments, and players describe the experience as comedic and lighthearted, particularly during short bursts of multiplayer action. The game costs $4.99 USD, runs on Steam Deck, and holds a 91% positive rating from over 2,300 Steam reviews.

About Granny Simulator: In Granny Simulator there are two players, a feeble old grandmother and her lovely grandson. The grandmothers objective is to complete her every day routine while the grandson utilizes uncanny violence and pure brutality to stop her.
