Hold My Winch! throws you and your crew onto a wild, dangerous island with a vehicle, a pair of winches, and a destination that is much easier to see than reach.

Rough roads and unstable terrain force you to improvise. Use the vehicle’s front and rear winches to pull obstacles, recover a bad line, or stop the car from disappearing down the mountain. When the road ends, keep moving on foot - climb ledges, find supplies, and work out a route together.

The drive is part expedition and part shared disaster. Customize your character, manage the vehicle from the cabin, and bring your own MP3s for the radio while the crew figures out what went wrong this time.

How it plays

Every route becomes a team problem.

Progress depends on how well you read the terrain, position the vehicle, and coordinate when the obvious path stops working.

01

Drive to the top

Navigate rough island roads, narrow paths, and unstable surfaces without leaving the crew - or the car - behind.

02

Go where the car can’t

Climb rocks and ledges on foot, scout the route, and find the supplies that keep the expedition moving.

03

Make the winch work

Pull obstacles, recover the vehicle, and turn a questionable plan into a way forward using front and rear winches.
