Why A Cab Simulation

The goal with Psychopomp was always to have a conversation about the importance of human connection. In a world where we all have access to all information all the time it is so easy to become apathetic and isolated. As the main character of Psychopomp you start in a dull world, through connecting to people you encounter you collect color and stories, no matter how fleeting an interaction, there is a lasting impact of others on your life. Taking the risk to listen to people you have never met is integral to forming community and interconnection.
