Explained simply
Over the Hill is an off-road driving game made by Funselektor, an independent game studio. Unlike racing games built around speed and competition, it centres on exploring landscapes in older four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Players can use equipment such as a grappling hook to navigate the terrain, and can explore with others in cooperative multiplayer. The game’s appeal rests on discovery and a slower pace, offering a different kind of driving experience from conventional racing games.
