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

[tuskedkibbles]

So I just read that sheet of yours and from reading the timeline seems like 1 game day is equivalent to 6 months of real-time. Will this game be completed before GTA 6 release?

I saw someone criticizing the fact that even the first major event the game show haven't started in this update.

It's kind of weird. Obviously it's mentioned at the start that the program is 6 months. Whether or not that was Tess' intent at the beginning doesn't really matter. It has since been changed (including in-game, with I believe Alessandra mentioning that the program may be much shorter for Kane). The game show will largely solidify Kane's position (rank) in the company, and will set in motion the power struggle that will decide the gambit.

Essentially, think of it less as the first major event in the game, and more as the powder keg exploding. That said, we will realistically be here for at least another 3 years, maybe upwards of 5 (assuming an update approx every 6-9 months). It's possible Tess speeds up after a Steam launch, but she doesn't do this for money (she's rich), so unless she decides to hire a lot of help (definitely possible, especially with one of her original assistants starting her own project), it's gonna be awhile.

I just want to RP a crazed lunatic. Is that too much to ask?

You still have that opportunity, though not in KG. And in KG, that "position" has already been filled by Juliette.

Necro, rape, beating "♀"... that's apparently some crazy ass game Stan (⊙﹏⊙). Nothing good .

Juliette is a lightweight. All brute force, no nuance. Sam and Mercy are just rabid dogs. They want to immediately bite into everything they see. Juliette may not be rabid, but a well trained dog that can sit and wait is still a dog.

For example, the boat scene. Juliette thinks that's evil? I'm not even a sadist, but the first time I played that scene, literally within seconds, not even taking time to think about it, I would have suggested the following to her;

Make the guy fuck his sister while the girlfriend is on the machine. Whichever one (girlfriend on the machine or the guy) finishes last, gets dunked for 2 minutes. Then, the real fun starts.

The guy has to pick one of the girls. Whichever one he chooses will be free to go, not just from the ship, but from the Karlsson Group entirely. Hell, she'll even be set up in Cape Town with a reasonably cushy life. Whichever one he chooses to condemn, he has to choke with his bare hands. If he refuses, all three of them die. Whether that be through pain lvl10 or a more creative method (realistically in game it would just be the pain lvl, I doubt Tess is giving the player a potato peeler). Obviously he'll do it in order to save whichever one he loves more, and to his understanding, to save himself as well.

Then comes my favorite part! After the unlucky lady is dead, inform the other girl that she is indeed free to go. As soon as she drowns the guy. His conditions were made clear, but I never specified what the girl's conditions were. Once again, the alternative is torture to death. She drowns the guy, and VOILA! She's free to go! After all, I'm a man of my word. Have Mercy take her back, politely remind her to keep her experiences to herself, and send her on her way to enjoy her new lifestyle.

Now of course, that's just temporary. Can't have company property running around, can we? Have one of the staff assigned to wherever the girl is sent. Make sure they work together, become survivor girl's friend, earn her trust. Wait until she's finally starting to move on. The nightmares aren't as common, maybe she's found a nice guy. Once that has happened, bring our little lost lamb home. Maybe even have her beloved bestfriend and brother/lover waiting for her! Or whatever is left at that point I suppose.

Like I said. Juliette is a dog with a bone. She has no appreciation for art.

Death should never be quick. It should be an opera.

Yeah, it's much more extreme that anything in KG, and that's coming from a Juliette simp. In KG violence scenes are kinda fun, while in that one it just grosses me out. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

Don't you dare to besmirch our queen Juliette, good sir!
Cool suggestions though, please continue!

Because Raptus is just mindless cruelty, the MC yet another rabid dog let off its leash.

Death is certain, but killing doesn't have to be ugly.

And the most important for me ,the story, very vague in my opinion, is a game for rape people and stuff like that, you don´t need to think about what option choose, only go ahead and be happy
In KG if you make a bad decision bye bye to yours hopes to get a major rank.

You're completely missing the point that she kept it intentionally tame because you were there....

 

[Stan5851]

And then we wonder why the most inadequate group of fans turned out to be fans of demon/demoness..Just thinking out loud, nothing personal.

 

[tuskedkibbles]

Oh, I know. She mentioned that a few times during the scene. Unfortunately, I have found the multiple forays since to be similarly wanting. She keeps speaking of her 'darkness', but thus far I have been thoroughly unimpressed.

Ironically enough, I find your patroness to be far more amusing with her treatment of Kwame's wife. Personally, I would've killed the guy and let his wife go on thinking he was alive so that I could enjoy her reaction when I grew bored of her and pulled the rug out, but alas, Dominique is rather whimsical with her cruelty. A fascinating contrast to her usual calculating precision.

Regardless, I love the game. I'm fully aware that authors/devs cant branch out into a billion paths, so I enjoy whatever they put out. Tess has created a fascinating story. Really glad I decided to keep reading past the 'femdom' tag when I first found this game all those years ago.

And then we wonder why the most inadequate group of fans turned out to be fans of demon/demoness..Just thinking out loud, nothing personal.

Ew, no. Anyone who harasses a dev/author/whatever because they can't do exactly what they want is a loser that should be banned from all forums of communication. Evil isn't even my primary playthrough. My main (the 'natural' playthrough I do with no guide) is a pretty ruthlessly pragmatic Veronica sponsee, but not evil by any means. I have to RP pretty hard for the evil path, due to not actually being a raving lunatic.

Well not really...first time you can meet her....she gets you to kill someone while she grinds on top of the poor guy.

Obviously not seen the latest update yet...but to say she is tame...I would question your taste in entertainment..no offence.

 

[Stan5851]

Necro, rape, beating "♀"... that's apparently some crazy ass game Stan (⊙﹏⊙). Nothing good .

That's why I don't recommend it to anyone...BTW, I played it not too long ago, but I was quite disappointed. And shit like necrophilia can be turned off at the beginning of the game...so I turned off a couple of extreme things right away...But even without them the game is brutal, but it's not the kind of VN whose sequel you want to wait for. (imo)

Try the Blackheart series or Desert Stalker

I'm not familiar with the Blackheart series, but in Desert Stalker you have a choice about the way you treat women.

Dark is dark, what's your preference? if it's not mindless cruelty, and if it's not what this game has offered so far.

i mean yeah it's just senseless cruelty same as raptus.

Desert Stalker is def the better of the two and one of my favorite dystopian themed vns.

 

[Mr. Chatty]

since we are on the topic of what's senseless cruelty and what's not, what makes kg not in the category of senseless cruelty, I mean there is death, torture and other shit seems pretty cruel to me.

The only thing remaining is rape but that's mostly to avoid a patreon ban, also because this is a femdom game and rape isn't very well suited with this genre so rape is avoided for technical reasons and not because it was too cruel for the author to feature it in her game.

Oh, don't get me wrong. Juliette may be fumbling in the dark, but her idle cruelties are still endearing. It's like watching a child attempt to paint. She is by far my preferred sister when I enter the role of 'the demon'.

Leaving it to things that popped into my head on my initial (evil) playthrough, here's a couple more, spoiler hidden so it doesn't take up as much space for those who don't care;

That's just for the Juliette scenes obviously, and I have a few more for her, but they're more mundane. I've had a few other more intricate ideas pop into my head, namely for Alessa and Olivia's scenes, but that's the gist of it.
