The Meter is Running

The Meter is Running — is a management simulator about a small taxi dispatch company in Istanbul that's slowly drowning in debt. There's almost no money, and no time either. You have to take orders, assign drivers across the city, and try to squeeze the most out of each shift, because one bad ride in the morning can easily ruin the entire day. If the debt isn't paid off within 15 days, the company will close for good.

The shift has begun

The city here feels very vibrant precisely because of the distances and routes. It's important not just to dispatch the nearest car, but to understand how long the driver will travel without being picked up, where they might get stuck, and how profitable the order is overall. Sometimes everything seems to be going smoothly, but then one unsuccessful call suddenly ruins half the schedule and leaves some customers waiting too long.

Drivers aren't just faceless icons, either. Each has their own personality, communication style, and approach to life. During shifts, various situations arise: lost items, conflicts, shady passengers, and decisions that directly impact the dispatch center's reputation. You can play fair and barely make ends meet, or you can gradually delve into more nefarious ways of making money until the entire neighborhood starts to notice.
