Hit the streets in your creep mobile/ute (or "pickup truck" for the Americans) and harass as many women as you can before you crash.
In the context of the competition's theme, "An Unconventional Weapon", my game has you wielding the power of the male gaze in your quest for street harassment.
This actually happens to people on a daily basis. "Catcall Simulator 2015" tries to undermine the power of the male gaze as a weapon through visual & audio cues, making players feel uncomfortable with the power they're handed.
Game includes multiple endings and Oculus Rift support! Seriously though, try find the hidden/good ending.
---- CONTROLS ----
STEER - Tap Left/Right arrows
HORN - Click the horn (click it specifically) - you can hold it down
You cannot STEER and sound the HORN simultaneously. Therein lies the challenge.
---- HELP ME ----
Q: I keep crashing!
A: Watch the gauge above your steering wheel. Think of it like a see-saw - you have to keep it centred by continuously tapping the arrow keys. The further it goes off centre, the faster it moves.
Q: How do I score points?
A: To score points, you have to deplete the gauge above each woman's head by holding down the horn as long as possible. They will slow their walk and look afraid when you succeed.
Q: You're incentivising being a creep. Why are you so awful?
A: You can actually win the game without harassing anyone.
