over the hill is a zen off-road adventure from Funselektor Labs, the creator of art of rally: drive iconic 4x4s from the 1960s to the 1980s, cross gaps with planks, winch out of mud, and explore cabins, meteorites and viewpoints solo or with up to three friends. This wiki tracks the release, the platforms, the pricing and every fact the developers have actually confirmed.

From the creator of art of rally.
Funselektor Labs, the Canadian studio behind art of rally, is developing over the hill together with Strelka Games, and self-publishing it. The studio calls it a "zen adventure": the freedom of art of rally's free roam, slower, with planks, winches and up to three friends along for the ride. The soundtrack, by Tatreal and Giacomo Giunchedi, is already finished and will be sold separately.
If you know art of rally, you know the low-poly look and the calm pace. What is new here is recovery play: bridging gaps with planks, winching out of mud, and keeping your 4x4 alive with a limited supply of repair kits.
