Over the Hill is available on Steam: discover the new Funselektor game

Explore at your own pace, drive iconic vehicles from the 1960s and 1980s, and let yourself be amazed by untamed landscapes.

This is the spirit of over the hill, the new video game by Funselektor, the independent studio known for art of rally and Absolute Drift, available on Steam from October 14, 2026.

Far removed from traditional competitions, the game offers a driving experience where the journey matters more than the destination, and every detour can lead to a new discovery.

A Relaxed Off-Road Adventure

over the hill is not your typical racing game: there are no leaderboards to climb or lap times to beat.

Its goal is to offer a relaxed, contemplative off-road exploration experience while retaining a sense of challenge through driving across rough terrain.

Players can travel through environments inspired by real-world locations, from valleys, mountains, lakes and forests to deserts, behind the wheel of off-road vehicles inspired by the models that defined the golden age of off-roading between the 1960s and 1980s.

The adventure can be experienced solo or in online co-op mode with up to three other players. An opportunity to share the journey, help each other through the toughest sections and discover new corners of the game world.

The spirit of the project is captured in a phrase from the studio: “to do something dangerous slowly is an adventure.”

Taking on something dangerous at a slow pace can become an adventure: a philosophy that perfectly describes the balance between exploration, freedom and challenge at the heart of the game.

Exploration, Photography and Customization

Along the way, players can reach scenic viewpoints, discover secluded cabins, observe natural wonders and come across unusual elements, such as meteorites and portals leading to new areas.

Thanks to the photo mode, players can capture landscapes and wildlife encountered along the way, collecting images to complete a wildlife compendium.

Vehicle preparation also plays an important role. During expeditions, players can find useful upgrades and equipment, such as winches and traction boards to overcome the toughest obstacles.

Vehicles can also be customized with different paint colors, accessories and cosmetic elements to suit each player's personal style.

The most demanding challenges remain optional: those looking to test their driving skills can tackle technical routes, while players who prefer a more leisurely pace can focus on the scenery and discoveries.

A Distinctive Style and a Relaxing Atmosphere

Visually, over the hill builds on the minimalist, stylized aesthetic that has made Funselektor’s previous titles instantly recognizable.

Its vast landscapes, colors and lighting combine to create an evocative atmosphere, encouraging players to slow down and enjoy their surroundings.

The driving system also strives to strike a balance between accessibility and challenge. Rather than pursuing the strictest form of simulation realism, it offers a tactile driving experience that captures the nuances of different terrains and obstacles without turning every journey into a complex logistical operation.

The result is an experience that could be described as cosy off-roading: a more relaxed way to enjoy off-road driving, with challenges to tackle whenever you feel like it and plenty of room for exploration.

Platforms and Availability

over the hill has been available on PC via Steam since October 14, 2026.

The game is compatible with Steam Deck, while versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 are scheduled for 2027.

A Supporter Edition is also available, featuring additional content for those who wish to support the project.

Conclusion

Those who enjoyed art of rally for its visual style and its thoughtful approach to driving may find over the hill an equally intriguing new experience.

The game may also appeal to anyone looking for an exploratory adventure to share with friends, without the constant pressure of competitive objectives.

In a gaming landscape often defined by fast-paced action and a relentless stream of goals, over the hill offers a different approach: rediscovering the pleasure of exploring at your own pace.
