## What it is
The official open-source codebase (C++, Apache-2.0) of Overgrowth, a commercial third-person action game by Wolfire Games. The code is open while art assets and levels must be purchased separately from Wolfire.

## Use cases
- build and run Overgrowth from source with purchased game data
- create mods and total conversions for Overgrowth
- experiment with a real commercial game engine for education
- contribute code fixes back to the commercial game
- reuse engine code snippets in other projects

## When to choose
- you own Overgrowth and want to mod or extend it
- you want to study a production C++ game engine's source
- you plan a total conversion using your own assets

## When to avoid
- you want a free complete game - assets are commercial
- you need a general-purpose engine for new projects
- you expect official support - the repo is community-operated

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics
- domain: gaming-tools
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: open-source-game, commercial-game-source, modding, apache-2.0, wolfire-games, physics, game-development, desktop
