NEWS UPDATE: Natural Selection 2 and Overgrowth are being offered in a direct-from-the-company joint venture pack. Pick it up here, and support two amazing indie projects (and get extremely early access to their creation toolsets and engine!):
http://www.wolfire.com/pack
Natural Selection 2 has built up an impressive array of features around creating their immersive indoor environments: and from the looks of it so far, Overgrowth is an impressive counterpart with its breathtaking outdoor scenery. In my opinion, they're both worth the pre-purchase.
What is Overgrowth?
It can best be described in three words.
Ninja.
Rabbit.
Combat.

I'd rather read than watch the video above. What is Overgrowth?
Overgrowth is an action battle game that's set to be released for Linux and Windows. Based on its predecessor title, Lugaru, it features advanced freeform combat that relies not on button press combinations, but rather timing and the events/actions taking place around your character to determine the actions that are performed by your character.
Apparently it will have elements of both martial arts style combat and stealth, which will require careful consideration of not only visual and auditory stealth but also scent.
When's it coming out? When can I try it?
The game is still in a very early stage of development, but as you can see from the videos below they have already made an impressive engine and toolset with which to create their world. People who pre-order the game can download the nightly build of the engine and toolset to experiment with it themselves.
You can snag a copy of Lugaru to see the combat concepts upon which the new game will be built.
Can I see some more videos of the engine in action?
Sure thing!
Realistic blood effects test
Beautiful Outdoor Scenery and some editor action
Possibly the funniest tutorial video of all time
Hopefully this will sate your thirst... check out their YouTube channel for more:

I like the idea behind the blood effects in that video but I can't say it looks very good. That's just not how liquid drips down a wall. I can't fault them for their ambition, though.
EDIT: oh man those outdoor environments are pretty.
