A hands-on report from BitSummit covers Broadcast Start! Taxi Mystery Case Files, a game where the player acts as a taxi's onboard AI, helping the driver solve passengers' problems. The report describes the core gameplay loop and impressions from the demo.
The player takes the role of a taxi's onboard artificial intelligence, not the driver. The demo tasks the AI with listening to passenger conversations, identifying their problems, and feeding solutions to the human driver in real time. The 4Gamer report notes that the puzzles are logic-based and require paying close attention to dialogue cues. The driver character reacts to the AI's suggestions, creating a dynamic where the player feels like a support system rather than the protagonist. The report calls the concept refreshing and says the demo left a positive impression, though it notes the full game's length and scope remain unclear.
