Sorpasso Games Opens Steam Page For Ghosts Of The Mountain Pass
The pitch is a racing game built around story and part-by-part car building rather than a full field of opponents, and the store page is the point at which that pitch has to hold up on its own.

Sorpasso Games has opened a Steam store page for Ghosts of the Mountain Pass, a single-player racing RPG set in late-1990s Italy on the Riviera. The game follows a driver who takes part in one-on-one showdowns against local rivals while assembling a car part by part, with the story turning on a race that ended decades ago and the accident that stopped it. The PC release is scheduled for 2028.
The course is the health bar. In showdowns, both drivers start with one, and whoever falls behind bleeds it, faster as the gap opens; the race ends when the other car's bar runs out. Three starter cars with different handling are on offer, and parts won from rivals can be mixed across models. The handling is a tire physics simulation, with each wheel calculating grip from lateral and longitudinal slip through a Pacejka-style curve, integrated through a friction circle at 120Hz. Traction control, ABS/EBD, stability control and counter-steer assist can all be switched off.
