Umbra is an unfinished Lovecraftian CRPG originally written in Python 2.1 in 2001-2002. This repository is an unofficial Python 3 port that preserves the original game's random world generation, exploration, and combat mechanics, but remains incomplete with no story progression or way to win. It is historically interesting as an early open-source Python game but offers limited utility beyond nostalgia or study.

Target audience: game developers, Python enthusiasts, retro gaming hobbyists
