Added DiffLines:

* Subverted in SocialDeductionGame ''VideoGame/GooseGooseDuck'', which has a a special neutral role whose goal is to pass a disease onto every player. Clumping up can be an effective way to protect yourself from an Imposter, but it's also a sure-fire way to lose to one of these guys.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WebAnimation/DingoDoodles'' at one point describes how her party (of three plus one npc) split in three groups, each going their sepparate ways. This is portrayed less as a danger since they're all capable, and more as torture for the poor dm who has to run three storylines at once.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Fanfic/MiraiSMP'', {{Subverted|Trope}} and then ''painfully'' {{deconstructed|Trope}} with Techno, Cooper and Travis in the beginning of the story. Their diaries urge them to stick together, which they do try to do... [[spoiler:Except Cooper, who insists they go down a dangerous path and runs off before Techno can stop him. Techno gets an alert that Cooper will die if he opens the door that Taylor and Jordan have set a trap up in... And he's unable to stop him due to being separated from him]].

* In ''WesternAnimation'', despite Fraz being irritated by his brother, he seems to hate being apart from him, when Guapo finds a new job, Fraz tries to force him to come home with him, while Guapo himself tries to force Fraz to stay with him in the new career.

* ''Series/OneOfUsIsLying'': When Bronwyn wants to split up while they look for Maeve in "One Of Us Is Dancing" Janae asks her incredulously if she's [[GenreSavvy never watched horror movies]]. It's {{subverted}} though as nothing happens to them.

* Near the start of ''ComicBook/TheSandman'', Morpheus and ComicBook/JohnConstantine go into a dark house. Constantine is thinking "Movies. Old dark house. Horrible menace on the loose. "Let's split up". Muffled screams in darkness...".
-->'''Constantine:''' Uh... We'll stick together, won't we?
-->'''Morpheus:''' Of course.

Damsel In Distress is the new name of this trope.


* ''VideoGame/{{Ico}}'' flat out requires you to be paired with Yorda, because any length of time separate from her allows the shadows [[DistressedDamsel to take her away]] more easily if you don't fight them. If they take her completely, [[NonStandardGameOver the game ends.]]

** Sun Tzu mentioned this in the sixth chapter of his book ''Literature/{{The Art of War|SunTzu}}''. In the moment of ignorance, the enemy force will likely split his army into several units in hopes that they will cover more ground, but this will just bring the opportunity for the other side to use his whole army to crush these units one by one. On the other hand he recommends it in some situations, baiting a trap, for instance.

* Used in ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'', D.B.U.T.T insists they can't split up. [[LetsSplitUpGame The characters have to later.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/PrimalCarnage'': Running off alone as a human is almost certain and immediate death because several small dinosaurs have attacks that can pin individual humans, similar to the Special Infected in ''Left 4 Dead'', leaving the player totally helpless unless a teammate shoots them off, while the large dinosaurs have such large health pools and do so much damage at once (Tyrant class dinosaurs in particular have OneHitKill attacks) that it's difficult for a single human to kill them. The only real chance of humans winning is by staying together in a tight group.
