Neo Cab vs Outlast
Neo Cab
Neo Cab is an in-depth interactive story where you play as Lina, one of the very last few human driver-for-hire at Neo Cab in a futuristic yet dystopian world where everything, including taxi services, is getting increasingly automated. Converse with your passengers and maybe they’d reveal their secrets. If you’re lucky, you may even uncover important clues that will lead you to your missing friend, Savy.Neo Cab is a fascinating and thought-provoking interactive story that places a lot of emphasis on the value of cab conversations and the way mood can affect what we say. It also makes you really think about the consequences of certain advancements in technology and how massive corporations that are large enough to circumvent any oversight placed on them, can monopolize all aspects of our lives. Of course, there’s even an overarching story where you’re trying to find your missing friend who disappeared under some pretty worrying and mysterious circumstances.
So, if you’re into games that have amazing storytelling and where your choices will affect your relationship with the many quirky characters in the game, then Neo Cab is definitely a game that’s right up your alley. Trust me, it’s worth the price!
Outlast
Outlast is an intensely-terrifying, first-person survival horror game where you play the inquisitive investigative journalist Miles Upshur who taking a look at the shady Mount Massive Asylum that was recently reopened by the equally shifty Murkoff Corporation. The asylum has been operating in secrecy and you are there to find out why! Of course, when the truth is revealed to you... you might think twice about your eagerness to uncover it in the first place.Being a story-driven game, you can expect excellent narrative, apt sound effects and immersive graphics to help you push the story along. Unlike some horror games, you can't fight in this game - you are merely a journalist, after all. Thus, its gameplay is rather stealth-based with some elements of parkour. So, you'll need to rely on your awareness and instinct to decide when you'll need to hide and when to simply run for your life. Naturally, you wouldn't want to be caught by any of the asylum's terrifying, criminally-insane patients.
If you're looking for a game to scare the hell out of you before even Halloween comes around, Outlast is the perfect game to do that. Be sure to be prepared for a truly terrifying scare and keep the young uns far away.
