Hands Over has been announced for PC, turning familiar childhood mini-games into a multiplayer horror experience. The game comes from developer Artdock and was revealed via the original announcement on IGN.
What Is Hands Over?
Hands Over is a multiplayer horror party game that takes some of the mini-games you remember from childhood and adds a deadly twist. Details are thin, but the core idea is to transform lighthearted competitive activities into something much darker. Think of it as a party game where losing doesn’t just hurt your score—it might hurt your character. For more context, GamerHeadlines has also covered Game developer to livestream game development from scratch.
The game is being developed exclusively for PC. Artdock hasn’t shared a release window yet, so it’s unclear when players will get their hands on it. The concept alone, though, should grab anyone who grew up with Mario Party or similar titles and wondered what they’d look like as a horror game.

Who Is Developing Hands Over?
Artdock is the studio behind Hands Over. Not much is known about the developer, and this appears to be one of their first major projects. The announcement positions the game as a fresh take on the party genre, blending cooperative and competitive elements with a horror aesthetic.
Given the current appetite for multiplayer horror—titles like Dead by Daylight and Phasmophobia continue to draw big audiences—Hands Over could find a niche if it executes well. For now, it’s just a teaser, but it’s one worth keeping an eye on if you enjoy party games with a dangerous edge.
GamerHeadlines Takeaway
Hands Over isn’t much more than a concept at this stage, but the idea is strong. A multiplayer horror party game built around twisted childhood mini-games has obvious appeal. The lack of a release date or detailed feature breakdown means we’ll be waiting a while, but Artdock has planted a flag. If the final product can match the pitch, this could be a standout indie title on Steam.
