Sadly not quite, but it demonstrates how scary the concept is...

Okay, five-second summary: Weeping Angels are monsters from Doctor Who that only move when you're not looking. That includes when you blink.

Evasion is a very small game where 'the enemy' (a ball, in this case) operates on the same principle. You have a handful of controls - move with WASD, jump with space, look around by moving the mouse, and click to blink.

That last is important, because - just like real life - if you don't blink for a while, your vision fades out until it all goes black (well, not /quite/ like real life). So you have to blink.

But the enemy is coming. If you look away - it's coming. If you step behind a wall - it's coming. Run up a ramp, turn around, and it's right behind you.

And it's just as terrifying as we all knew it would be.

Now all I want is for someone to have made a version with actual Angels...
