Neo Cab

This is a really fun game. I really like the 'emotion-meter' mechanic, which reflects your emotional state throughout the game, and will change dialogue options available to you. It's almost like this game was written with a mind to educating people about emotional awareness, which I am all for! Will probably only last 3 or 4 hours, but with the possibility of multiple playthroughs. The aesthetic is nice too. I'm glad I got it :)

So interesting but then you make it impossible to get the good ending without looking up a guide or just brute forcing the correct responses. This doesn't make me want to play the game again it just makes me disappointed with the design.

[b]Recommended on sale, not at full price.[/b] I enjoyed [i]Neo Cab[/i], mostly for its atmosphere, passenger conversations, and its clever use of Lina’s emotional state as a dialogue mechanic. The game is at its best when it is about the small humiliations and compromises of gig work: managing ratings, money, lodging, and your own mood while pretending to be fine for strangers. The larger story worked less well for me. [spoiler]Lina comes to Los Ojos depending on Savy for a place to stay, and Savy immediately disappears, leaving her supposedly best friend stranded with no home, no friends, and no support. That is such awful behavior that [/spoiler] I had trouble investing in the relationship the game clearly wanted me to care about. [spoiler]Unless Savy had been seriously injured or literally unable to make contact, I just could not buy the emotional premise.[/spoiler] So, mixed feelings. I liked the ride, but not enough that I’d want to have paid full fare.

I have pretty mixed feelings about this game. I really enjoy cyberpunk and futuristic settings, and the game does capture that atmosphere at times. However, I didn’t fully connect with its visual style. The gameplay mainly revolves around dialogue choices with the passengers you pick up in your taxi. Some characters are well written and intriguing, while others feel flat and less engaging. The main story and theme is interesting enough to keep you going, even if it becomes somewhat predictable as it unfolds. On top of that, your choices don’t always feel impactful, which can be a bit disappointing. In the end, it’s not a bad game, but it’s hard for me to fully recommend it.

Great conversations, shaky story. The passenger arcs are the best part of Neo Cab, but the main plot fizzles out and the money system feels like a clumsy tax on an otherwise good visual novel.

Neo Cab m'a conquis grâce à son ambiance cyberpunk intimiste. Avec des dialogues bien maitrisés et avec un panel de clients aussi variés que profonds. Un voyage nocturne touchant et mémorable.

这个剧情过的我好难受啊....好无语......有点莫名其妙的
