PlayWay is not slowing down. The publisher of this year's, successful border guard simulator - Contraband Police - has unveiled another project, in which players will take on the role of... a cab driver in 19th-century London.

London Cab, as this is the name of the upcoming simulator telling the story of the work of a British coachman, is being developed by RetroGamez, for which this is the debut work.

A day in the life of a London cab driver

On the occasion of the game's reveal, a short gameplay footage has hit the web, showing the tasks and dangers that players will face while playing London Cab.

So what can we expect from this simulator?

First of all, quite a lot of driving through the rainy and crowded streets of 19th-century London.
Navigating with the help of a handy map, the skillful reading of which will prove crucial in determining the optimal route.
Taking care of the unreliable carriage, as well as the faithful mount, whose health and well-being will be crucial to the carriage driver's professional existence.
A dose of action arising from the dangers of London at the time, where "danger lurks at every turn, and surviving each day is a challenge."

Unfortunately, for now we haven't even learned the game's approximate release date nor the platforms on which the title is heading (apart from PC, of course).
