HANDS OVER is a five-player online co-op horror game from ArtDock. Players sit at a table, take turns on warped versions of familiar mini-games, and use influence cards to change odds, protect themselves or sabotage others. The dated release is Steam Early Access for Windows on October 30, 2026, with a free demo available since October 15, 2026. Console versions have been announced, but the saved sources do not give them a date.
This wiki is unofficial and built from saved material rather than press access. Claims are tied to the Steam store page, developer announcements, IGN pages and trailers, Game8's release tracker and other dated listings. Where those sources are silent, such as crossplay support or a console schedule, the pages say so. Price and platform details are marked with the date they were checked, so a later store update can be compared against the snapshot.
New readers should start with the demo walkthrough if they want to play, or the release date page if they are planning a purchase. Platform pages separate what has been announced from what has a date, and the technical page records the minimum PC spec without inventing a recommended tier.
