The English expedition "Peary & Scott" discovers an island populated by strange and ferocious creatures. Half-human, half-animal, they were created by the famous Dr. Moreau. Peary, a scientist and biologist, resumes his work.
At a time when the abolition of slavery continues to grow worldwide, Scott, a wealthy industrialist and close to the royal family, sees huge potential in those "beasts": Cheap, hardworking manpower, easily renewable, and gifted with remarkable physical abilities.
In just 20 years, in secret, Peary and Scott will create hundreds of these "beasts" and build an empire. Inevitably, however, humans will lose control of the island: The north is occupied by humans, trapped and hidden behind their wall; while the rest of the island is populated by various generations of "beasts", which are often hostile towards each other. Most degenerate very quickly, and fall in bestial madness.
This is where your story begins: you are one of those "beasts". Your task will be long and difficult: Explore, develop, understand and reclaim the island, while respecting the law of Moreau:
“Not to go on all-fours; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
“Not to suck up Drink; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
“Not to eat Fish or Flesh; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
“Not to claw the Bark of Trees; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
“Not to chase other Men; that is the Law. Are we not Men?”

Chapter one eh? Well it might work out OK, despite the time it's taken for some of these episode based releases I'm only really aware of one failing critically and that would be Sin: Episodes (#1 Emergence as the only one of nine that got released.) as the developer (Ritual) was bought up shortly afterwards and now they're well I haven't heard from them since so I have no idea.
We are happy to announce that the game will be multilingual, English + French for early access, then we will translate it into German, Spanish, Russian, and more.
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“Between 6 and 10 months to finish the story.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The core gameplay is already implemented, and the most important game mechanics will not suffer many changes except for balancing and improvements in the overall player experience.
For final release, the story will be at least 30% longer with:
1 new level, new enemies, new areas, new weapons, new achievements, new quests, etc...
We also plan to add other languages (German, Portuguese, Russian, ...)”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Currently, it includes the following:
Full implementation of player abilities.
