It's possible for the mc to turn the tables but this is still a femdom focused game. so things won't turn out too well for the mc and his brother in most scenarios. I'd be pleasantly surprised if they do tho. I agree that the endgame will be absolutely crucial to determine the overall quality of this game. There are simply too many variables and too many unanswered questions, the ultimate payoff has to be satisfactory on multiple fronts.

Oh of course, I understand the intention, but I think the game is well done atm to the point where you can enjoy either path depending on your personal preferences. The only real issue I've found is the twists aren't particularly...twisty. Pretty predictable, very soap opera-esque, but that really doesn't matter so long as the game is enjoyable. I have no doubt the sub route will continue going well because I imagine it'll just depend on which person the protag ends up being under at the end of the day, but the dom route is gonna have to give the opportunity to screw over the people who've screwed with you, and in the varying degrees that are present in the game which make it so enjoyable.

I mean I can't think of a game with the changes in things like the K rankings or sponsors, there's some serious talent in juggling it all as well as they have so far. I've seen WAY too many good stories where they've clearly just shoved an ending in, they do a 180 to remove any loose ends, or just straight up don't finish. I'm definitely cautiously optimistic, but when you set up the protag as the single most important character in the entire game, you better give us the ability to use that.

You have forgot a crucial element! MC is Callista's and Cole's son and those two parents are pretty much the founders of the two most powerful companies on the planet. So reasoning tells me he is the key in combining the companies into the only Mega Corp on the planet. Remember before Callista went into hiding she, Alex, Sister of Alex and what's her face Olivia's mum where the founders with essentially Alex as CEO but absolute power can lead to absolute corruption, so when Callista saw what was happening to him the company she helped build she formulated a plan with Cole's help (Remember she was a genius) and fled believing that one day when she returned not only would the two most powerful companies would be as one Mega Corp but it would be in the hands of the only two people that she trusted to do what is best not only for the company she helped build but for the rest of the planet and in doing so would hopefully complete the vision she and the three founders had before power corrupted them.

You don't have to worry about the game's plot - Tess wrote KG's plot long before it started. Moreover, if memory serves me correctly, KG was based on barely 1/10 of the amount of text she wrote. We'll probably see the rest (if we're lucky and the stars align) in another Tess game, after KG is finished. So, as far as the story component is concerned, I'm calm. Yes, it is still unpredictable, but no 180 degree turns are expected. Tess has already written about it here, the plot is unchanged, only the filling of certain scenes and some fetishes can be discussed, but not the plot. So that leaves the technical part and the human element. The former is fine, the game is improving from chapter to chapter and getting prettier, but the human element is unpredictable, for example not so long ago Tess got sick, so the release of ch7 was delayed. So I wish her health and good luck. I think that's the most important thing.

I don't want to turn this discussion into a place where we all talk you into playing KG.) If you don't like something, you're better off walking past it and I wouldn't recommend fast forward her part of the story, you might lose a lot and miss some of the global plot. However, if it helps in any way, I have to say that you shouldn't take Olivia as a full-fledged MC (imho). I don't know how much content with Olivia is in the sub route (I didn't go through it), but on the Dom track Olivia under your control will make some important decisions affecting many events, and you also get some scenes with her. But actually, in fact, 80-90% (% I could be slightly wrong, but not the point) of the game time is devoted to the main MC, the male Kane, and it is with him that you will associate the game playthrough of KG. Yes, "sister" Olivia is important to the story, but not as important as Kane and given the time allotted to her, I would call her an "auxiliary MC" where you are given the opportunity to influence your future relationship, however, Kane always has the last word because he is the main one.

Ok I just finished reading the plans for the next versions that Tess wrote in the walkthrough.
I'm really hyped now cause the plan seems pretty solid to me, and I absolutely love how she is handling the great replayability this game has.

That said, on the dom side I hope she has interesting plans to handle a Kane that isn't in line with her sister (cause that's the way I'm roleplaying them). Also I'm really curious on the consequences of supporting one character\couple or the other is his W2 pod.
On the sub side, I appreciated the fact that different paths go towards different scenes with different "levels" of femdom (cause I don't exacly like the extreme side of that)

PS: also I'd like to thank the guy\gal that created the PDF with all the relationships.. I was kinda losing myself there :p

Compressed just reduces size/quality of pics/vid not content

I understand what compression does and was not asking about the compressed version.

I was on the fence about DL a game that's 14 GB and asked if it has content that equates to it's 14 GB size or if the images in the file was unnecessarily large in which case I'd just DL the compressed version.

I mean it goes from 14gb to less than 3...just go with compressed, as motseer said it still good quality and has a ton of content

its hard to say whether the game is worth 14 GBs, if you only do one playthrough then no, but if you play through the different routes and subroutes then I would say it is worth 14 GBs. moot point because the compressed version exists but still
