Overgrowth is a cross-platform game in development by Wolfire Games, an independent game company. Overgrowth is the spiritual successor to Lugaru, a game also developed by Wolfire. Development of Overgrowth was officially announced on September 17th, 2008. The game is currently in Beta and is playable via preorder, Humble Bundle, and Steam.
Gameplay emphasizes fluid, fast-paced 3rd-person armed and unarmed melee combat, 3D-platforming, and stealthy infiltration. Overgrowth uses a custom game engine codenamed "Phoenix", and a lot of work has been put into making it accessible to modding.
