Over the Hill, the off-road exploration game from developers Funselektor and Strelka Games, is set to launch on October 14th. The title aims to blend the challenging trail-running found in simulators like SnowRunner with a more relaxed, countryside-roaming experience. This release date follows a demonstration of the game during the Steam Next Fest in June.
Players can expect a mix of cooperative and solo gameplay across open wilderness maps. The core loop involves exploration, seeking out cabins for rest, and discovering upgrades for customizable vehicles. Challenging off-road trails will test driving and winching mechanics, while the game's minimalist visual style and calm atmosphere are contrasted by mechanics that can still punish player carelessness. The developers, also known for titles like Art of Rally and Absolute Drift, aim to deliver an experience that is both peaceful and potentially treacherous.
Over the Hill will be available on Steam, and players can wishlist the game ahead of its October release.
