Our take on DON'T LOOK AWAY
Instead of giving both sides unrestricted movement, the game makes observation itself the central rule: the Entity advances only outside the Human's gaze. That turns looking and flashlight positioning into defensive actions, while the hunter must create openings through concealment, sound, and ambushes.
What is DON'T LOOK AWAY?
DON'T LOOK AWAY is an asymmetrical multiplayer survival-horror game with two opposing roles.
The Human must complete objectives and stay alive while another player controls an Entity. The Entity can move only when the Human is not looking at it, making vision and flashlight use central to survival. As the Entity, players control five Mannequins and use abilities such as invisibility, sound creation, and ambushes to pursue their opponent. The Human has the flashlight and direct observation as defensive tools, while the Entity must exploit moments outside the player's view. Each match sets one player against another in a dark environment built around objectives, pursuit, and restricted movement.
