About The Last Taxi

When a fatally wounded member of an anti-technology cult leaves you with what appears to be an undocumented infant, you’re thrust into a dark network of secrets – unravelling a conspiracy that could shake Progress Point to its core.
The Last Taxi is a narrative-driven adventure game set in Progress Point, a politically and economically-divided sprawling metropolis that has fully embraced automation and human modification, creating a satirical and somberly-surreal vision of the future.
You’ll meet a diverse cast of passengers, each with their own tailored conversations. Be drawn into morally challenging decisions that lead you into the heart of a dying society.
Narrative Gameplay:
As a taxi driver, your job is to keep passengers comfortable, happy and generous.
Or not?
How you interact with passengers is up to you! With varied dialogue choices and multiple endings, you can choose to keep the tips rolling in or spend all your time insulting them.
But keep in mind, gaining their trust and listening to their problems is a lucrative side business. As per Progress Point’s governmental regulations, all taxis are fitted with sleek, handy, and mandatory listening devices – for uhh... quality assurance.
If your passenger expresses something that isn’t quite above board, you can quietly report it to the authorities for some side cash. Choosing to let some shady business go unnoticed does have its perks, though. And with over 80 diverse characters to chat with, you’ll see all kinds traveling the city.
The World:
In the future, you got what you asked for – Flying cars! Unlimited time for hobbies! And the ultimate hybridization of human and machine! Or was it just flying cars you wanted...
Too bad automatic driving cars are all the rage.
Regardless, life in Progress Point is going pretty great. As the only standing city, we survived environmental and economic collapse because no one from the past changed their small, but destructive habits.
Status quo reigned and we’re the societal afterbirth, filled with various factions that believe in one kooky thing or another, like free will.
Oh, but that makes it sound so bleak. Really, there is a bright side.
No one needs to work anymore! The brunt of the workforce has been given to automatons …Well, unless you personally didn’t harbor a vault of cash before the collapse. If you’re one of the unlucky ones, you’ll still need to find some way to make an income, pay the bills, and find your niche in a world run by automation. As a human, you’ll just have to be creative and think outside the processor.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The concept is genius: A taxi driver in a world that seems too perfect, a tad dystopian, and undeniably quirky. It's so much more than just driving passengers to their destinations. It's about the choices you make, the secrets you uncover, the alliances you forge, and the moral compass you choose to follow. Whether you decide to keep the passengers happy for those tips or risk it all for a laugh by throwing in an insult – every choice has weight and consequence. This isn't just a game about you being a taxi driver. It's a deep dive into the human psyche, society's quirks, and the fine line between right and wrong. Buckle up because "The Last Taxi" is a ride you won't want to end!3 found this helpful

[b]TL;DR:[/b] I think overall this is a game I would recommend (barely) but there's some serious caveats and you should get it on a good discount (don't pay more than $10). (Steam needs to add a Neutral rating.) [h1]The Good[/h1] First, the negative reviews are generally just people misunderstanding what the game is and that's an unfair reason to give a negative review. Let's start with why I'd recommend it. The writing is decent and interesting. There's a good mix of characters and a surprising variety of ways you can handle situations with what you choose. I think I'll address some bogus negative comments from reviews here: [list] [*] [b]"You can't control the taxi!"[/b] I actually like that you can't control it. Early game it might not be interesting but, as time goes on, you will be struggling to micromanage everything going on while still processing what the customer is talking about and responding. There've been a couple moments where I missed what a customer said because I was dealing with 2 or 3 things at once. [*] [b]"The voice acting sucks!"[/b] Actually I didn't have any issues with that. What do they even expect? I thought there was a good variety and the q…1 found this helpful
I liked this. The performance and the resolution aren't great. And ultimately I started to find it a little samey.1 found this helpful
honestly i thought that you could drive the taxi your self how ever you cant it starts slow but thats not all that bad as you play you unlock new areas to go with your taxi and are given more and more things to manage within the taxi making the game have more as you go on how ever I feel that it can become very repetitive but i haven't played enough to really experience it great story telling but if you just want to fly around in a taxi pick people up and not have to listen to them too closely then this game is not for you but it overall is still a good game and i would recommend trying it out if you like story telling and actively talking to the passengers as it can actually change what they will do as you can see at the end of each day in the news for most of them
