Pushing Vertices has opened community playtest signups for RollerGirl, its 2000s-inspired slice-of-life adventure about rollerblading through a small town, taking odd jobs, listening to indie music, and dealing with teenage drama.
The announcement came during the Game Devs of Color Expo Direct, where the Canadian developer also showed a new trailer. Players can request playtest access through the game’s Steam page.
Spend the Summer on Rollerblades
RollerGirl follows Naomi, a 16-year-old whose first car breaks down almost immediately.
Needing money for repairs, she puts on her rollerblades and starts helping people around her neighborhood.
Jobs range from running errands to recovering lost items, while conversations can pull Naomi into local drama, a teenage romance, and a larger town mystery.
Your Playlist Changes the Experience
Naomi carries an MP3 player loaded with tracks from real indie bands.
Players can collect additional music around town and build playlists, with song choices changing how Naomi perceives her surroundings.
Dialogue decisions also shape how her summer plays out.
Explore the Neighborhood and Meet the Locals
Players can skate across open streets, take shortcuts, visit backyards, and spend time with the people living around Naomi.
The game leans into its early-2000s setting through its music, technology, and coming-of-age story.
Helping neighbors gives Naomi the cash she needs to repair her car while opening new conversations and events.
RollerGirl Playtest Signups Are Open
Community playtest registration for RollerGirl is available now through Steam.
Pushing Vertices has not announced a release date.
