Neo Cab

Neo Cab is a narrative adventure video game developed by Chance Agency and published by Fellow Traveller. Released in 2019, it is set in a near-future city called Los Ojos where almost all transportation is automated. The player takes on the role of Lina, one of the last human cab drivers, working for the Neo Cab corporation.

The gameplay focuses on navigating the city, picking up passengers, and engaging in conversations to earn money and uncover a mystery surrounding the disappearance of Lina's friend, Savy. Lina's emotional state, represented by a mood-tracking device called the Feelgrid, significantly influences her dialogue options and the relationships she forms with her passengers. This creates a unique conversational mechanic where Lina must manage her emotions to provide good service and maintain her professional standing.

The game's themes explore the impact of technology on human connection, the gig economy, and the future of work in an increasingly automated world. The narrative is branching, with the story and ending determined by the player's choices and relationships developed throughout the game.
