Funselektor Labs, the developer behind 'art of rally,' is working on a cooperative off-road driving simulator called 'over the hill.' The game is a departure from the studio's previous competitive rally focus, offering a low-stakes experience where players drive old-fashioned trucks through natural parks and mountain roads. A demo launched on Steam on June 12, 2026, and runs until June 22. It features the Emerald Lake area, supports up to four players in online co-op, and includes mechanics like winching stuck vehicles out of mud. The demo also offers three unlockable vehicles, camping and photo modes, and cars from the 1960s to 1980s.
The demo has been well received. As of June 15, it held an 80% positive rating from 523 user reviews on Steam, earning a 'Very Positive' label. The demo's strong early reception suggests the game is resonating with players seeking a relaxed multiplayer driving experience. The full version of 'over the hill' is planned for release in 2026 on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

An in-game camera lets players photograph wildlife and scenic spots, building a wildlife database. Vehicle customization includes colors, accessories, and decorative items found across the field.
