Neo Cab is that game you ve seen about being an Uber or Lyft style gig-economy driver, set in a dystopian sci-fi future. It has been described as neon-drenched because that is the only way we have thought of to describe thing that is cyberpunk so far.
We don t actually self-identify as cyberpunk, said Patrick Ewing, creative director of the developers Chance Agency, and not a retired basketball player. We call ourselves nowpunk . Neo Cab is, he explains, about a world where we just continue on our current trajectory. I do think that’s the job of dystopian sci fi, is to warn you of something while there’s still a chance of changing it.
