TheThis game has a really pleasing art and game style and the quirky conversations you have with your passengers are surprisingly engaging. The trick is in choosing the most appropriate response for each passenger in order to get a good rating for the trip versus other considerations such as your mood (displayed on your 'feelgrid') which can limit your options or play to your advantage
   
   My play time was about 6.5 hours on my first run through
   
   Just finished my second play through in 6 hours and got an alternate ending from making a variety of different choices.
   
   Choices you make in the game will influence conversations later on
   
   I really like this game and the passenger characters (even the not so nice or difficult ones)
   
   Would definitely play a sequel… Expand

   An intriguing game with a fascinating set of characters, each with their own story. Driving a cab late at night along the almost emptyAn intriguing game with a fascinating set of characters, each with their own story. Driving a cab late at night along the almost empty neon-lit streets of a cyberpunk city neatly connects all the plot lines together. Not that there's any actual driving to do - most of the game is talking with the passengers, some of whom have their part to play in the main plot. You try and keep them happy (or not), depending on your choices. But what should be a mellow stress-free job gets weirder and weirder, and all you'd been expecting was to get back with your ex-partner and chill.… Expand

However, some of the mechanics (namely the FeelsGrid system and the entire cab system) are underdeveloped.
   
   It gets worse when by reaching the end you are forced down a path that doesn't always seem logical with your choices in-game up to that point, as if the ending is dictated solely on the last conversation you have and not the entire experience.
   
   The FeelsGrid system is mostly infuriating as most of the time you will be given 3 or even 4 conversation choices but the game refuses to let you pick the choices you want to and forces you down a path because of your character's emotional state. A better option would have been to not show the other choices as options and instead limit the number of choices to the one you are actually allowed to take.
   
   The mechanics of the cab system work fine but could have been better developped. You are allowed a maximum of 3 fare per night but are also allowed to go to bed early after 2 rides. As far as I can tell it's pointless to go to bed early as you mostly end up shortening the lenght of the game. Of course you could tank your star rating by picking up a bad fare or could end up having to spend more money and potentially leaving you short changed. However, I never came close to running out of money and the rating system is very easy to recover if you end up getting a few bad reviews. I would have preferred a system where if you get to bed early, you get to complete 1 extra ride the next day. The rides are where the game shines the most and it's a shame that you end up missing on many new characters along the way by being limited to only 3. Especially since most of the characters have follow up stories on following nights, so you end up mostly picking the same passengers over and over to get to know more about them (and thus missing out on potential new stories from new characters).
   
   The game is also fairly short (at around 4h) but thankfully the price point is also on the lower side (about 15$).
   
   Finally, very few bugs, some popping issues due to a low draw distance (probably to accommodate an iOS/Android release).
   
   All in all, it is a good product but flawed for sure. If you are a fan of game set in a cyberpunk-y universe, then definitely check it out.… Expand
