VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.2 Test] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[MilesEdgeworth]

It's still unclear to me why he's even in hiding, given that the Alexander he had a fight with is already dead and he (supposedly) has the DeKock family to back him up. Of course, there's a lot we don't know, but in general this is one of the most mysterious and baffling things. Cole Sr. is talking to Dominique Karlsson, trying to keep tabs on Kane, but ignoring(?) Cynthia and the entire DeKock family..What is it, a feud or something more? Yes, I admit that it would be interesting to see a father and son reunion scene..

I assume the project he's working on with Dominique is extremely important. His interaction with her didn't feel like e was a prisoner.

let me remind you that Kwaim's family was going to be killed if Dom didn't persuade the board to let Kwaim into the program also if Kwaim's wife was with j she be more fucked up than she already is with Dom.

Can't be assed spoilering again lol...

Pat was talking to Alessandra...pretty 100% positive on that given the interaction with both of them towards the end of the last chapter where Alessandra is....getting rid of someone in the coffin....it all fits perfectly (though to be fair, not actually confirmed).

As for being underneath Olivia...umm...sure...every day, even as a dom

Hey man, as a mostly sub player, I agree with you a Dom Olivia hahaha but that’s interesting with Alessandra… I guess we’ll have to see… but we haven’t really seen any of the sub paths branch out to an extent… we’ve also gotten just Juliette and Dominique as a possible sponsorship, but those haven’t been expanded on yet, along with there’s more sponsorships in the future along with other factions/groups to join… I already posted that photo of what route Miss Tess planned out (from the top of her head..) so we’ll see… I just know, sub and Dom players are good to go for all these routes and content

Haha...I was referring to more even as DomKane...if Olivia wants to be on top....sure thing....I'm just imaging her arched back...breasts bouncing....*forgets what he was saying*....

As for sponsorship, I've had Dominiques for a while now (on dom path) so good that the other path has more options incoming. Given what Stan mentioned earlier, I'm going to do another run with DomKane and SubLiv but make sure Olivia does not get the Gambit points...it's one path/save I don't currently have...I think a submissive Olivia to Dom Kane could be interesting if that variable is key (already have a path like that but Olivia picked up her GambitQueen variable).

One thing I like about this, there's always something you missed and on each new run through the game, more things start to click into place.

Yeah I do need to download the newest version of SachoMods Version… I haven’t used it since version 6.2? Of KG!!

I replayed the game the other day as a K4 start who never made any mistakes in the Joy Facility and made it to the top Katsumi-style, but the game treats you as a SecretSub, meaning I got sub scenes for Alessandra, even though we never interacted before. If it's not a bug, then it definetely is the least developed route of the game. I mean, maybe prison made Kane stupid so he failed the test in prison, but it shouldn't turn him into a sub automatically.

There are many different decisions in this game, and not all of them are obvious and clear in terms of where they will take you, so I suggest you use SanchoMod (MultiMod) and/or the official walkthrough.

Might test that later. Didn't think it was possible to get to K9 from K4 by the current update. The only way AFAIK to get on Alessandra's SecretSub route is to agree to her terms. Also, starting as K4 automatically puts you on the sub path as default so have to work very hard to change that situation. Also, refusing Alessandra's offer can demote you a rank (if pick the sub options with her originally).

You must have picked some choices that you don't recall making (and were unaware of the consequences of such)...though to be fair I'm not fully up to speed with all the K4/Sub routes. Maybe one of the others can correct me or enighten you.

The Prison Test is the mayor fork for the sub/dom branch.
K5 and K6 -> Dom Paths
K4 and lower -> Sub Paths

If you don't know that, it will fuck your playthrough completely.
If you start K4 you are a Sub and not a SecretSub and you still have alot of choices to make. Are you sure you played the latest version? Did a fresh start for your playthrough?

It is SubK7.

I know this wasnt the point of that spoiler but I felt like being an acshuwalllee guy. Even Kane admits that he was Callistas favorite

Maybe, but in the end it was Olivia who ended up being the girl "with the golden spoon in her mouth" who got everything at once. I realise that Callista spent a long time preparing her for this mission, but it still seems unfair. While logically there's no contradiction here - Olivia's kinship with the Karlssons automatically opened the door to the top of the world for her - the internal conflict remains unresolved.

Yeah, KaneDom does not ask "why she got everything and he got crumbs, nothing?" and just diligently moves towards his goal, but I understand those players who, also because of this injustice in the initial starting positions, do not want an equal victory of Kane + Olivia, but want only Kane to win and Olivia to be completely subordinate/submissive to him.

I just want that cos I'm kinky and like a submissive woman hehe....my main save is equal KaneVia.

Me too. But this moral stance (fighting inequality) makes us a little less perverted . Although, who am I kidding? We just like submissive women. But other than kidding, if Kane and Olivia started at the same rank, the game might even be still interesting and we'd have more tools to advance one or the other favourite.

Oh, and the teamwork in this case could have been more apparent with Kane and Olivia helping each other work their way to the top. Then again, there would have been a scenario where Olivia could have made a mistake, failed to rise to the challenge and become a submissive K1-K4 without even making it to the finals. But our KaneDom (who "helped" her make the mistake) could surely have saved her like a true valiant dastardly knight in shining armour, hehe..

Poor Olivia is being set up to be hated by a lot of people.
Kane, for the reasons you mentioned
Dom + Juliette cuz she's the fav to take over their father's company at the moment, and she didn't have to go through the hell that they went through. Veronica favoring Olivia has got to piss them off big time
Alessandra- probably her biggest threat at the moment
Nadia- Got to have brother sister time with her actual brother.
By the end of all this, she might be very dependent upon Kane to keep her safe

Overall, Olivia is caught in the middle of the power struggle. Her sisters are not happy when they have another opponent.
She needs all the help she can get or she will be devoured by the other sisters
