A Cabinet is a structure in Granny that the Player is able to hide in. They may keep the Player hidden from Granny depending on certain conditions detailed in the section below. Cabinets are usually located in better positions than other hiding places, allowing you to know when the coast is clear due to the holes at the Player's head height.
Hiding Mechanics
To hide in Cabinets, the Player must manually open and shut the Cabinet door to hide inside. This is more time consuming, making the process of hiding in Cabinets inferior to the Bed, Chest and Car. When inside a Cabinet, you can see Granny but she is unable to see you.
If Granny enters a room where you are hiding in a Cabinet, she will not see you and she will leave (she may also place a Bear Trap). However, if she sees you shut the Cabinet door, she will forcefully open the door and attack you.
Appearance
Most of the Cabinets are weathered, dark and made of desaturated wood. They are just the right size to fit a person inside. They also have a grey handle on one side, along with nine holes arranged in a three by three pattern at head height, allowing the Player to see through them.
However, the Cabinet located in the Garage is made of corroded and scratched metal and has three horizontal lines that the Player can see through. When opened and closed, it makes a squeaking noise similarly to the weapon safe when opened, but this does not alert Granny.
Locations
There are a total of four Cabinets in Granny:
- The first is inside the Starting Bedroom. Once inside you will be able to see exactly when Granny is out of sight.
- Another Cabinet is located in the Bathroom, and the Player is also able to see outside of the room. This gives a perfect view of Granny's location upstairs. Due to the fact that this is the only hiding place in this room, it is advised to hide here if you are searching for items here and step on a Creaking Floor.
- The last Wooden Cabinet is opposite the Stair Closet on the Ground Floor (in the Foyer) and it's one of the worst hiding spots in the house, due to the location and limited visibility. Granny walks past the Main Door fairly often and the awkward position of the Cabinet does not allow you to see her easily, making leaving this Cabinet a risky move. Avoid having to hide in this one at all costs.
- The Metal Cabinet is located in the Garage and is a much better hiding place than the Car as you can see up the stairs to the Basement as well as the rest of the room. The only downside to this hiding place is that the Cabinet is further away from the Sauna than the Car, so it is riskier to try trapping Granny in the Sauna.
Trivia
- You can mess with Granny by taking and repeatedly dropping and picking up an item while in a Cabinet, as Granny cannot open the door if she doesn't see the player go in.
- The model of the metal cabinet in the Garage and the sounds of it were also used in Hotel Insanity but the model is rather old, rusty, and weathered in Hotel Insanity.
- The Padlock Code used to spawn inside the Bathroom cabinet, and is the only item ever to spawn in a Cabinet.
- There is a glitch where Granny will come and knock out the Player even if she didn't see you hide in the Cabinet.
