In development, early access.
Planned features:

• 32-quest base story;

• 30 side quests;

• Two 8-quest campaigns(involving kidnapping) for the Apprehension add-on;

• Breeding room(thought about this for a while, and after seeing that this may be what people want, it may be added in the Apprehension add-on;

The two add-on campaigns will teach about a renewed kidnapping system, with various additional features, trophy room and the like.
