While you’re there, I also recommend checking out these demos here: TRY OUT THESE GREAT FREE DEMOS ON THE NINTENDO ESHOP. 『Neo Cab』（ネオキャブ）は、アメリカのインディーゲームスタジオChance Agencyが開発したノベルゲーム。, 自動運転車が一般化した近未来のアメリカ・カリフォルニア州の都市ロス・オジョス（Los Ojos）を舞台に、数少ない人間のドライバーの一人としてNeo Cab社のタクシーを運転する女性リナと個性的な乗客たちによる会話劇が展開される。久々の再会後に突如失踪した旧友の女性サビーを捜すことになったリナは、夜の街でタクシー業務を続け様々な話を聞く中で、ロス・オジョスを掌握する大企業Capraの暗部に迫っていくことになる。, 本作の物語の大部分はタクシーの車内で進行する。乗客を目的地に送り届けるまでの間に会話を行うことになるが、途中に表示される選択肢の選び方などによりリナの感情が随時変化し、その後の展開に影響を与える。リナの感情はリナが装着する腕輪「Feelgrid」に点灯する色として可視化されている。, 本作のゲームデザイナーであるパトリック・ユーイング（Patrick Ewing）は作風について、キャロル・リード監督による1949年公開のフィルム・ノワール『第三の男』からインスピレーションを得たと語っている。この作品と本作は、行方不明の友人を主人公が捜索するという筋書きや巨大な組織が実権を握っている世界観などに類似性が見られる[9]。, ゲーム内のアプリを起動すると地図上に数人の待機客の位置情報が表示され、客を選択することでNeo Cab車内での会話パートが始まる。待機客の種類はゲームの進行状況によって変化する。目的地へ向かう際には車のバッテリーが消費されるため、勤務外の時にチャージ施設で代金を支払い充電する必要がある。, 会話パートでは感情を表す色と3段階の感情の強さがFeelgridに反映される。色を大まかに分けると、赤（怒り、不安）、黄（興奮、幸福感）、緑（平静）、青（憂鬱、無気力）の4種類だが、実際にはそれらの間の色も用いられ、画面上では色相環のような図で感情の位置が示される。Feelgridの状態は会話途中に表示される選択肢に影響を及ぼし、特定の感情限定の項目が追加されたり、逆に一部項目が選択不可となったりする。, 客が降車すると、その客からの5段階評価が示され、評価に応じた運賃を受け取る。また、直近の評価の平均値が「ドライバー評価」として算出されるが、これが4.0未満の状態になると警告が出続け、最終警告後の業務が終了した時点で4.0未満だった場合はNeo Cabから契約を解除されゲームオーバーとなる。, 1日に最低2回、最高3回の業務をこなすとその日のノルマ達成となる（最終日を除く）。達成後は各所にある宿泊施設で代金を支払い泊まることになるが、施設の種類によりFeelgridが特定の状態に変化する。, 名前に☆がついている人物は「プライムユーザー」と呼ばれ、ドライバー評価が5.0の時のみ乗車させることができる。, Here’s the full list of games coming to Apple Arcade on launch day, Neo Cab Launching on October 3rd, Free Demo Available Now, 『Neo Cab』Switch版が配信開始！ 近未来都市で絡み合うさまざまな感情と物語をタクシー運転手の視点から体験するアドベンチャーゲーム, Inside Neo Cab, the "Nowpunk" Noir Indie That Is One of 2019's Most Underrated Games, IndieCade 2019 - All of the Official Winners (and Pics), GOTYは『Untitled Goose Game』に決定！ 第20回「GDC Awards」受賞作品リスト, 2020英国アカデミー賞ゲーム部門受賞作品発表！ Best Gameは『Outer Wilds』, https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo_Cab&oldid=78434363, iOS：まれ/軽度な性的表現またはヌード, まれ/軽度なアルコール、タバコ、ドラッグの使用または言及, まれ/軽度な成人向けまたはわいせつなテーマ, まれ/軽度な過激な言葉遣いまたは下品なユーモア.

And, then they tear it to pieces. For example: if someone is aggrivating Lina, but the player wants to be kind, they won’t be allowed. These issues would certainly be exasperated if it were a 40+ hour journey, but Neo Cab is a bite sized adventure.
