VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.1 Part I] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[lemonfreak]

Can you point me to the exact quote where this is said, plainly and directly? Because the new update both implies (very strongly, so strongly I think most readers would find it conclusive) that A) Kane and Olivia are not blood related, B) both Veronica - who seems to be one of the ones controlling the gambit - and Elena want Olivia to win, and that to win, she must have a male child with Kane. Dunno, the game itself seems to contradict you pretty thoroughly.

The premise is kind of silly, because a logical thing to do would be to have the 5 (maybe 6?) Karlsson sisters play their gambit and determine a winner, then frame Kane into prison or coerce him some other way so his sperm could be extracted and just use artificial insemination. But this is a fantasy/dystopian/porn game, so of course fucking needs to be involved. By the game's own internal logic, an Olivia/Kane sexual relationship seems very, very possible.

Hi and thank you! The question you ask is actually impossible for me to answer completely without further context coming in a future update, but the general answer without more context is no (specifically to Kane and Olivia), meaning they will not engage in sexual relations as related brother and sister.

How much time does it take to go through the new content? The game is over 5 gigs, I'm thinknig maybe it's better to skip the update if it's only a small one.

If you're only playing a single route, depending on your engagement and read speed one to three hours. If you do multiple runs, which have quite a bit of exclusive content, it's gonna be more.

Another great update. Thanks for that!

No. Callista is not Alexander Karlsson's sister. Alexander Karlsson has/had 2 sisters, Klara and Karin. Klara is the sister of Alexander Karlsson that Olivia is said to look a lot like. It's also been made clear that Alexander deeply desired to produce a child with Callista, but it never happened. So the objective of the Gambit is to

You are right. I was mixing Klara and Callista up.

Yep, Veronica is capable of being ruthlessly extreme even when she knows it isn't necessary, which implies she secretly enjoys exerting her power to make others suffer even though she pretends she doesn't. Elena comments on it in the very same meeting. There have been enough other small examples of Veronica getting off on the suffering of others to confirm Elena's accusation. All of the Karlsson daughters are messed up in one way or another, save maybe

Even Dominique's uncharacteristic possibly false admission to dom Kane makes me wonder how much of her own remaining ethics she's willing to sacrifice in order to win the Gambit.




Given that Elena didn't even know she had a living daughter until the bombshell was dropped on her, it fits that Olivia wasn't told either. Olivia was probably either an IVF baby produced without Elena's knowledge, or Elena was lied to and told her baby was stillborn when her baby was instead whisked away at birth by Alexander Karlsson and given to Callista to raise. It has been established that Alexander Karlsson in his latter days was a cold-hearted bastard who thought the world of Callista and deeply desired an heir. I can easily see him stealing Elena's child and giving her to Callista to raise thinking Callista would raise a better heir than Elena.



Yep, the story has made it clear that Yvette is Veronica's mother. This is one of at least two mentions I can think of.

Yes i was shocked by Veronica's cruel treatment of her servants in that scene.You knows its bad when Elena (of all people) points it out! Not just a cold scientist.

What do you guys thinking, about Junko?
I have my hots for her and go full romance, but is she real, or maybe fake? What is her part in this story?

She's a 3D rendered character in an adult visual novel so no, not real

I have a soft spot for Junko too, but unfortunately that path is dependent on turning Chantel down in 0.4 and that is something I find very difficult to do. It doesn't help that the Junko romance has yet to really take off at that point. I have a Junko playthrough separate from my main dom playthrough as a result. Her personality is just plain adorable. If you want to play with Junko in a romantic way definitely go the K7 route in 0.5.

"meaning they will not engage in sexual relations as related brother and sister."

Why put that part in? Why not just say they will not engage in sexual relations, period? Look, I'm not saying that a Kane/Olivia sexual encounter is inevitable, but it sure seems Tess has left the possibility wide open

Agreed. Before this update I thought the odds of Olivia-Kane happening were about 50-50, but now I'm 95% certain that Olivia-Kane is going to be a possibility because:

1) It's now fairly obvious that Kane and Olivia are biologically unrelated.

So, female dom isn't avoidable?

Developer Notes:



While this is primarily a somewhat dystopian femdom based world, the main protagonist over time will be able to delve into male domination given the right choices. Given the narrative arcs for many of the characters, they may be some slow build here and there in the story. Warning: The extreme sub or evil path will be very dark so be careful and avoid those choices if not your cup of tea. Final endings will range from very romantic/traditional endings on one end to outright death at the other end, so there are many long-term variations of how you can play the narrative.

Version 0.2 Dev Notes: Your dom or sub points from 0.1 do lead to different scenes in 0.2 so you won't see everything in one playthrough no matter what for those that wish to see everything.

Version 0.3 Dev Notes: Please keep in mind the dom path will allow you to avoid the protagonist having strong femdom on HIM, but not entirely avoiding a femdom world around him. Also keep in mind some of the content can be dark (this is a dystopian world) so if you are bit squeamish in seeing evil characters, please be careful, thanks! Also, 0.3 has many choices that do not impact 0.3, but much later in the story so multiple saves are recommended if you want to experience a lot of the content in different ways. Have fun!

Version 0.4 Dev Notes: Please note your starting rank from prior episode greatly impacts your 0.4 experience. Please use Zoey's excellent WT for 0.1 to 0.3. As always, a disclaimer that the game can have some darkness, so be aware of that when playing.

Sooo, why is my submissive and good Olivia suddenly acting all dominant and evil with this update (playing police or visiting K2 stuff) ?
Or is the sub/good path not yet implemented?

I've primarily played an Evil/Dom Olivia but I assume you chose to be a fake police officer (Evil choice) and that's a scene which can really only go one way (although you are of course free to read whatever tone into it that you like so she could be either eager or hesitant)

Huh? If you didn't agree to go play police when asked in version 0.4 you should get asked again, and skip the event if you decline. This sounds like something's gone awry.

But other than that yeah, I mentioned a few pages back that there are a number of times during this chapter where Olivia is portrayed as casually sadistic no matter what your previous choices.

I initially went only to visit K2 facilities but since that kind of played out on the dom/evil side I picked the other option with the police (wich didn't make any difference in the end)
I might try a dom/evil playthrough tough to see if something changes there
But playing all in one go it felt like a sudden change in personality to me (or wrong variables).
