''DON'T LOOK AWAY'' is a 2022 AsymmetricMultiplayer survival horror game developed by DMNT Interactive. The game pits four nameless humans against The Entity, a demonic force capable of possessing five [[MurderousMannequin mannequins]] scattered around the map. If any of the mannequins touch the humans, they instantly die a painful death, with the only defense being that the mannequins CantMoveWhileBeingWatched. But this only protects the humans for so long and they must find and destroy the five demonic spirals scattered around the map before the Entity manages to kill them all.

* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: The main conceit of the game is that the Entity cannot move while the humans are directly looking at a mannequin it is possessing. [[Subverted Trope However]], each of the mannequins has a "frustration meter" that fills up while they're frozen. Once filled, the mannequin can activate a rage state that lets them move freely for a short time.
