In just a few days, Overgrowth is set to leave Early Access. Players had the ability to pre-order and play the alpha versions of the game since its announcement back in 2008, but even its Steam Early Access version has been around since 2013.
Overgrowth is a sequel to David Rosen's other game - Lagaru. Both feature the same main protagonist, Turner, an anthropomorphic rabbit who uses his talent in the martial arts to fight off similar combat animals in an open world.
