Our take on Roundabout
The defining mechanic is a limousine that spins continuously, making every turn and obstacle a timing puzzle rather than a standard driving maneuver.
What is Roundabout?
Roundabout is an open-world puzzle adventure set in 1977, centered on Georgio Manos and a limousine that never stops spinning.
Players collect passengers, deliver them to destinations, and time movement with the vehicle’s rotation to navigate streets, buildings, and other obstacles. The town includes secret pickups, dangerous missions, properties to purchase, and challenges for competing with friends. The game presents its rise-to-fame story through full-motion video filmed inside the limousine. Players can customize the vehicle with hats, horns, and paint jobs. Additional content includes modifiers such as Big Head Mode and a dedicated speedrun mode.
