Roundabout is an open-world indie driving video game developed and published by No Goblin LLC. It was released for Windows, Mac and Linux on September 18, 2014, for Xbox One on February 20, 2015, and for PlayStation 4 on May 26, 2015. A PlayStation Vita version is currently planned to be released in 2015.

The game involves a constantly-rotating limousine which the player has to drive around an open world while completing miscellaneous objectives such as pick up and dropping people off or finding collectible items. The gameplay has been described as inspired by Kuru Kuru Kururin (where you also control a constantly-rotating vehicle), and Crazy Taxi (where the goal of the game is to drive NPCs from one location to another).

Gameplay

Players drive a constantly revolving limousine, and must deliver passengers (introduced through full motion video cutscenes, left) to their intended destinations while avoiding obstacles.

Plot

Roundabout is set in 1977 and follows the adventures of Georgio Manos; the world's first revolving limousine driver. Though most of the jobs are unrelated and commuters are only seen once, frequent passenger Elizabeth earns Georgio's deep admiration and falls for her as well.

Reception

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2015)

The game received very positive reviews upon release. The versions for each console received different scores despite being verbatim to each other.
