Neo Cab Receives a Release Date on Nintendo Switch

Alex Harding -

Neo Cab, a survival taxi/uber game that has you driving passengers around a city that is foreign to you in hopes of finding your missing friend, has received a release date: October 3rd.

Here’s the rundown:

Is your rideshare driver more than just a star rating? Have you ever stopped to consider how their day is going? Fellow Traveller and Chance Agency are excited to announce their emotional survival game of rideshare driving in an AI-driven world, Neo Cab, will be arriving on October 3rd. It will be coming to both PC (Windows, Mac) at $14.99 USD and Nintendo Switch at $19.99 USD. Pre-orders are live on the Nintendo eShop right now, and players are also invited to try Neo Cab in a new demo on Steam or Nintendo Switch! How will you manage your emotions under pressure?

Neo Cab, an emotional survival game with a strong narrative focus, challenges you to stay human in a world overcome by automation. Play as Lina, one of the last human rideshare drivers in a near-future, AI-driven world. 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.”

Neo Cab will release on Oct. 3, 2019, for Windows, Mac, and Nintendo Switch.

Features

  • Meet a diverse cast of characters as you pick up passengers; everyone has their own story to tell.
  • Balance Lina’s monetary needs, the necessity for a five-star rating, and the moods of your passengers with what feels right.
  • A deeply branching storyline driven by your choices and your Feelgrid, a futuristic emotion-tracking tech.
  • Featuring a neon-soaked original soundtrack by Obfusc (Monument Valley, House of Cards).
