Official Steam store asset telemetry for HANDS OVER.

HANDS OVER is a 5-player co-op horror game where participants sit at a sinister table, play influence cards, sabotage opponents, and endure tense elimination trials.

Tabletop Trials and Mini-Games

  • Matches seat up to 5 participants around a central table to face sinister adaptations of classic party trials.
  • Mechanics feature simple physical tasks such as pressing mechanical teeth one by one until a trap triggers.
  • Simple rules mask intense psychological pressure as each turn forces someone to risk physical elimination.
  • Participants must carefully balance trust and betrayal while testing their nerves against escalating stakes with each consecutive press.

Sabotage and Influence Cards

  • Between trial rounds, participants play influence cards to manipulate odds and sabotage rivals.
  • Cards can shield a participant from harm, redirect hazards onto opponents, or trigger sudden chaotic table events.
  • Alliances shift rapidly as desperate contenders conspire to turn collective pressure against the table leader.

Physical Consequences and Elimination

  • Mistakes carry physical consequences that visibly impair characters rather than relying on abstract health meters.
  • A failed turn can cost a player a hand, alter table dynamics, or eliminate a participant from the round entirely.
  • Matches unfold in dark, oppressive rooms centered on mechanical contraptions and grim consequences.

Atmosphere and Social Deception

  • Deception, bluffing, and hesitation define the social dynamic as players attempt to outlast their companions.
  • Visual feedback highlights tense table moments designed for high spectator tension and replayability.
  • Contenders are eliminated one by one until a lone survivor remains at the table.
