Neo Cab takes place in the near future in the city of Los Ojos, California. A megacorporation called Capra has taken over most of the modern world, with its technology taking over most of everyone's lives. You play as Lina, the last human ride-share service driver in the city. You'll pick up an assortment of passengers, each affected by Capra in different ways. Lina's bracelet, the FeelGrid, glows different colors depending on her mood. By wearing her emotions almost literally on her sleeve, she hopes to manage her mental state better. But be warned, your emotional state can lock off certain dialogue options. Ultimately, your goal is to figure out how and why your best friend went missing, as you believe Capra has something to do with her disappearance.
From the game's website:
"Stay human in a world overcome by automation. Play as Lina, one of the last human driver-for-hire on the streets of Los Ojos. Your friend and only lifeline has gone missing; with no money and nowhere to stay, the only thing you can do is keep driving. Choose what passengers to pick up and how you engage with them to learn their stories. Balance your own emotional wellbeing with the needs of your pax as you strive to keep your perfect rating, and your job. Maybe someone in this city can help you with your own story?"
