Extracted from the unique brains behind games like Destroy All Humans and The Gunstringer is No Goblin’s ‘Roundabout’ – a slightly deranged action puzzle game which tasks you to guide a perpetually spinning limousine through an extensive real world obstacle course.
The game is punctuated with depressingly authentic 80’s style low-budget live action cut scenes, which have the capacity to both enthral and horrify depending on your tolerance for cheesiness.
“In Roundabout, you need to pick up passengers and drive them to their destinations. The catch: your limousine is constantly spinning in circles! To move around in Roundabout, you need to time your limousine’s movement with the constant rotation in order to curve around obstacles, buildings, and more.
Set in 1977, Roundabout tells the rise to fame story of Georgio Manos, arguably the world’s most famous revolving chauffeur. While driving players around the town of Roundabout, players will learn about the dizzying highs, terrifying lows, and secret loves of a revolving limousine driver. You’ll experience the seventies in the only authentic way possible: with full motion video set in the interior of a limousine.”
Scratching your head? Me too. Colour this cat woefully intrigued and terrified in equal measure.
ID@Xbox is truly throwing us some unique games that simply wouldn’t be possible in a world controlled by big publishers. If you’ve given Roundabout a look in, let us know in the comments!
