Neo Cab pulls up on Switch and PC next month

Fellow Traveller, the Melbourne based studio has announced that Neo Cab, the noir/narrative game will hit both PC and Switch on October 3rd. The game places you in the role of the last human cab driver in a city where you have just moved to recently.

Your friend and only lifeline has gone missing; with no money and nowhere to stay, the only thing you can do is keep driving. Use the Neo Cab app to navigate the city, choose your passengers, and engage with them to learn their stories — and uncover the truth about your own.

Inspired by the rise of our app-driven daily lives, Neo Cab Creative Lead Patrick Ewing is eager to confront the possible perils of our automated future saying, “What are the merits of personal, human service and why are sterile, automated interactions often presented as a core part of utopia? In Neo Cab, Lina is one of the last human drivers, and so those who get into her cab are in need of the human touch! Some of her passengers will enjoy having a conversation while they get from Point A to Point B. Others might prefer that automated utopia, and see Lina as just another node in the service mesh of automated capitalism.”

There is a demo available for both platforms, for Steam click here and Switch click here.
