Dystopian Ride-Share “Neo Cab” Pulls Up to Switch This Summer

Fellow Traveller have announced they will be publishing Chance Agency’s adventure-simulation game Neo Cab to Nintendo Switch.

The game has you play as Lina, one of the last few human drivers in a heavily automated city effectively run by mega-corporation Capra. While trying to focus on her job, she also seeks out her missing friend Savy.

How you talk to your passengers can uncover their backstories, and learn more about Savy. However, how you talk could also affect your rating and income. Finally, you need to manage your own emotions with the Feel Grid system.


You can find the full run-down below:


An emotional survival game about staying human in a world disrupted by automation.

  • Character arcs created and written by Leigh Alexander, Kim Belair, Bruno Dias,Duncan Fyfe, Paula Rogers & Robin Sloan.
