Granny's Dark Forest

Everything's dim except for your flashlight, which keeps flickering off when you stop moving. In Granny's Dark Forest, you land in the middle of roots and tangled branches—old junk scattered between tree trunks, useless signs hanging sideways. You hear twigs snap behind you, but turn too fast and your light swings right into a patch of fog. Sometimes you pick up a scrap of paper off the ground, and it makes a scraping sound, kind of sharp in the dark. The whole woods feels tilted, like the ground wants you to slide downhill.
How to play?
When you're playing Granny's Dark Forest, you have to walk around and spot eight notes stuck up on trees or wedged under rocks. Get too focused on one area—Granny shuffles out from behind a stump or Slenderman slides between trunks, and you have to backpedal fast. If either one catches you, the screen jerks sideways and you're back at the start. Notes are never right out in the open, so you'll need to crouch, check behind things, or poke around where fallen branches stack up. Your flashlight fizzles every time you hesitate, making it tough to keep an eye out for trouble or see the ground clearly. Most of the time, you're guessing which path is less noisy—gravel crunches under your shoes, or wet leaves stick. Kind of wish I hadn't checked behind that broken shed, but, well, had to grab the last note somehow.
