Overland is a turn-based tactical survival game. You start with one person, a car and some gas, trying to make your way from the East Coast to the West. Between scenes you get a choice of one to three destinations. Each is a certain distance away (using gas) and each has a hint of contents (e.g. people, equipment, gas).

When you arrive at a destination it switches to a turn-based 10x10 isometric arena. Wander around looting or interacting with people (either to trade or to invite them into your party). There are always monsters, of which I saw a small one (one hit to kill) and a big one (two hits to kill). Monsters are not really that stuff but making noise (such as when you kill one) attracts more monsters. Kill one and two or three replace him so violence is a short term stall.

Each person can carry one item and has like two hit points. Your first person has a backpack that can hold an item and the starting car can hold three people and one item. Items I saw are:

stick - does one hit and breaks
pipe - does one hit but doesn't break
first aid kit - heals one hit
rock - can be thrown for one hit
gas can - with 1 to 5 gallons of gas
flower pot with flowers - for morale?

I played a couple of times. It's an unforgiving game and if you don't have a good start it's hard to get far. Actually, I found it a bit too hard and frustrating so I stopped playing. But otherwise it's a neat simple rogue-like.
