You'll encounter a strange first person village type experience as you enter the world of Granny in Sauna. A typical relaxing sauna day quickly escalates into a ridiculously long string of quests and choices all wrapped together with memes. Granny and Grandpa simply wish to relax in the hot tub; however, Goo Goo Gaga has other ideas and he wants to create chaos in the village. Your goal will be to move throughout the village, speak with its odd inhabitants, find useful items and make the final decision about whether the day will end up being a good one for granny and grandpa at the hot tub or a total disaster.

Game Overview
Granny in Sauna is a first person comedy quest game set in a lightly spooky atmosphere and filled with surreal character interactions. While this is not a traditional survival horror game that forces you to just run away and hide, rather it focuses on moving through the village, completing various quests and finding needed objects. The story is developed differently depending upon what player chooses as an option (or action).
After Goo Goo Gaga attempts to interrupt granny's and grandpa's relaxing sauna time, the villagers open into a series of odd situations. You may be required to assist other strange residents in the village, obtain gasoline, transport items, gather wild mushrooms, operate a vehicle, etc. These mini-quests ultimately develop the story further and give you access to additional elements within the game.
Player Choices affect the Story Ending
Your choices affect the way the story concludes. Depending upon how you chose to act, you could possibly support granny and grandpa, aid Goo Goo Gaga in his sabotage efforts, or pursue side quests that cause the story to go off course and become even more absurd. Each decision creates a variety of story conclusions. This aspect of the game provides the most enjoyment in deciding how each decision affects the story conclusion and how many endings you can discover.
