‘Kijk niet zo boos’ is a VR game in development that aims to show the way that catcalling and other forms of harassment on the street influence the way public space is perceived. The game is based on the 2019 comic book ‘Kijk niet zo boos, het was maar een grapje’ by artist Una Jongenelis. This book was made as a reaction to a number of catcalling incidents and has the aim to show the amount of catcalls received by women. It contains a collection of drawings with the actual catcalls on them and a list of when the specific catcall was being made and to whom.

In ‘Kijk niet zo boos’, the player has just one objective: to get home. The player needs to walk home because the bus didn’t come. It is a quiet night in the city, but some strange characters are hiding in the shadows…
