— Previous Victim |
The Previous Victim was one of the victims that Granny captured and is the person who wrote the Note. Their age and name are unknown, but they are presumed to be deceased by several clues found within the house of Granny.
Evidence
There are visible signs of a struggle in the Bathroom:
- The mirrors above the sink are shattered.
- The toilet is filled with blood.
- The bathtub has been stained with blood.
- The wall next to the bathtub has streaks of blood running down the wall, like someone with bloodied hands tried to claw their way out.
Similarly to the bloody marks on the Bathroom wall, there is a bloody handprint on the Dining Room Window from where the person might have tried to escape, only to realize the Backyard had been fenced in.
Also, the bloody bat that is held by Granny has a streak of blood on it, most likely the blood of the victim.
Possibly the largest piece of evidence is the word "HELP" painted in blood on the roof of the Shed located in the Backyard.
Other pieces of evidence include "FIVE DAYS", which has been scratched onto the tables in the Kitchen and in the Starting Bedroom. Inside the left drawer of the Starting Bedroom, there is a bloody message spelling out "Leave this house". There are also 5 tally marks scratched into the wall of the Walk-In Closet, probably used to count their days left in the house.
As of Version 1.7, there is a skeleton can be found in the Sewer which suggests this could be the previous victim.
There's also a written mark of blood in the Garage, when you open the Garage Door for escaping, a message will be revealed. The message states: "YOU CANNOT ESCAPE" wrote by either Granny or the Previous Victim themselves, giving a message to the Player that it is impossible to escape, maybe wrote with the blood of the victim. Although, this is exclusive to versions 1.4 and 1.4.0.1.
Final Words
A Note can be found in the Dirt Room stating that this is their fifth day spent in the house and he only managed to open some pairs of lock on the door and his car broke down (The previous victim probably was drunk while driving on the road). The Note is written in blood, judging by the dark red lettering and droplets spattered over the page.
They also mention that while they were driving in the Unknown Forest, their car broke down, and when they went out to see what the problem was, they were hit in the head by an old, rotting woman or a grandmother. This indicates that the Previous Victim probably was old enough to drive, and also makes it possible that the Car in the Garage was stolen by Granny when they were kidnapped, with the parts scattered around the house and the Garage Door locked to prevent them from escaping the place.
Fate
Not much is known about how the Previous Victim was killed, but they were most likely killed before their escape, judging by the massive amounts of blood around the house and their inability to take off more than two locks by their last day left in the house.
They were most likely eaten by Granny, as the massive blood pool in the Basement is in the exact same place where the Player is eaten in the Game Over cutscene. Additionally, the Car, and a Bear Trap, have no blood on them (no blood on the Ground Floor for the Attic ending). This probably indicate that the Previous Victim was killed by Granny in the basement.
Identity
Although the Previous Victim's identity is unknown, they could be the same character as the first game in the Slendrina series, Slendrina 2013, because in the Swamp map, it is revealed that the player's car broke down.
Also, it is possible in the mobile version, that the Previous Victim might have been the protagonist of Slendrina: The Forest. This is probably not the case for the PC version, as Granny's House is located in a different forest.
Trivia
- It is possible that one of the Previous Victims was disabled, as there is a Wheelchair in the Jail Cell.
- It is unknown how the previous victim knew that they had to escape in five days, as they were the one who wrote the messages, specifically the "FIVE DAYS" scratch marks on the Kitchen and the Starting Bedroom's tables.
- It is possible that Granny told them.
- It is also possible that the Previous Victim realized that they needed to escape after being knocked out by Granny in the unknown forest.
- The Previous Victim and the Unknown Inventor are the only characters that doesn't appear in DVloper games.
- The Previous Victim is named Melon as fruit, despite the fact that Melon is berry.
- Probably, because he was terribly scared and it didn’t matter to him anymore.
