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

[Silver_Crow117]

That's definitely an interesting situation which could affect gameplay/story significantly. My original thoughts were that the flag is there for a different resolution as how/when Cole comes back to the facility (or the vicinity at least) and that even if (player choice) Cole stays where he is etc....that he will still come back regardless. So more of a flavour thing in how he comes back, rather than if he ever will or not.

of course, I could be completely off-bat with that theory but given his seeming importance in the overaching story (certainly on a couple of routes/world ending states) it is certainly an interesting one.

Yeah I believe that as well for what Miss Tess said here,

I'm a sub player(I play every path, seen alls scenes, but sub is my prefered), I just don't talk here much, I am more active in the discord. I just feel like this thread is filled with conceited know it all, dom players that think they know everything and get on my nerves imo, so I usually don't type here that much and prefer the discord, cause it feels more friendly and welcoming over there personally.

I'm a Dom player (I don't play sub routes, but I have watched some important sub scenes through Sancho's gallery). I don't go to Discord that often, because when I get there (on Tess's server), I get the impression that I'm in the company of unhealthily obsessed with femdom, who don't recognize other opinions and endlessly discuss only and exclusively the femdom component of our game. And the only healthy person there is Tess herself.

That's why I go to Discord mostly only to chat with her myself, and sometimes to leave feedback about the game and my wishes and suggestions for the development of the game, characters and relations between them. So f95 is much more convenient and comfortable for me in terms of atmosphere, not to mention that the huge opportunities that f95 provides to players, no discord can provide.

It's a shame really we're only page whatever we are on and the VN (while incredibly popular and certainly earns Tess a nice sum of money) the Vn is not 'more popular' (which sounds ironic to say given my last sentence). I think the femdom tag (and marketed as such) puts a lot of folk off, when, on the non-sub side of the story (dompath), there is an amazing, wonderfully crafted, incredibly complex story with gorgeous girls to uncover if femdom is not your cup of tea. It really does cater to both incredibly well and PL said earlier, your Kane does exactly what you expect of him. And there's no reason not to try this, I would 'guesstimate' the vast majority of KG players only play one path alone.

It's not easy to play blind for the first time, I can assure you that many people have fallen into K4 and dropped out.

I remember falling into K5, but the second time I played I changed two decisions and went to K4 .

Yeah really love this thread! Tho I wish there were more sub players that are open to discussion hahaha I know most of them keep to themselves unfortunately but don’t worry ! I’ll fight for you

I have a game on K4 because I want to see more story scenes, does that make me a switcher?

I was brave enough to try one of Miron's HFG games and my innocence was tainted so hard that I had to give up within the hour .

Not sure what she will do going forward but she has all her masks back now, I cut them all out (how made my sig which you can't see lmao) and have scaled them and made them sharper, cleaned them up and sent them to her. So she has everything back again now at least going forward.

I asked her on Patreon last month and she told me she hadn't got them all back yet, I'm glad she got some back, too bad they're not used in-game in some of the divas .

So… what do you guys think will happen if you hit the KiyomiDoor flag or not?

I have a conspiracy theory that Silver has the whole game installed on his hard drive .

I hadn't seen those screenshots of Kiyomi.

So, if his sense of duty comes first, it would be something like, “Sorry, son, the plants were more important than your life, and it's your mom who's going to save you, and I'm going to go plant some sprouts”? From what we saw in the game, I got the impression that Cole would lay down his life but try to save Kane, who was in trouble.

And Callista..Well, here's more confirmation that she cares about Kane, even the Kane who has lost his way and is in danger.

My sweet angel claudia, I will never corrupt you.(In my main saves)

And because I'm sad (and have a lot of time) and love stats etc....as you mentioned my activity here...KG beats the rest by a wide margin.

I've made mine now that you've shown me, I don't have that many comments, but I was surprised by the result :

Yeah it seems like Callista has more of that motherly love that will go farther to a certain extent to help Kane/save him Than Cole to an extent

 

[Stan5851]

The second screenshot feels like a red herring. I don't see either of them being killed at this point, and certainly not by daddy Cole.

It does seem like Cole knows about Dominque lying to him… I feel like he’ll eventually go to the joy facility himself, but possibly not at that moment of contention with Kiyomi and Otto… I did ask about the DeKocks and she said they weren’t a faction by themselves but they are joined with another faction…

lSeems like Otto might… not make it if you don’t hit it

I do not know but the more times I play through the game the higher she moves up my list of favorite characters.

Forget it, she's practically Seth's girlfriend, at this rate she'll get married to him soon .

Silver, please remind me exactly what Dominique's lie was in their conversation with Cole. I can't find that moment in my saves.

Silver, please remind me exactly what Dominique's lie was in their conversation with Cole. I can't find that moment in my saves.

I’ll try and post it when I can but it was when we first saw Dominique talking to Cole for the first time (when she was using that slave as a footrest right after having the option to kill that slave or not in a scene before)

I remember that scene. AFAIR, they mostly talked about science and research.. I'll have to look again, I probably have those saves somewhere.

Edit: Looks like Juliette's ass has a worthy competitor.

Still, guys, we're not going anywhere from the masculinity crisis, I was looking for another conservation/save but found this. All those hot girls have my Kane's ears all buzzed up (and I can't blame them, haha)..... Yeah, I remember Miss Tess saying that some low ranking subordinates might just fake repeating some talking points so as not to piss off their Bosses who are more honest and have their own opinions.... but here we have the elite.

Okay, I still haven't found the save with Cole and Dominique in it.... so the search continues. And in the meantime, I need to play all those saves that have been waiting for a long time.

Mav, thanks!..coz as you can see, I've already switched to contemplation of Veronica's juicy ass and other equally curious places... I wonder what Silver considers a lie in this dialog..Probably the fact that Dominique didn't tell Cole the whole truth about Callista (that she's actually alive) and Cole already knew it, assuming it was Callista who texted him on the terminal (earlier) and sent him a picture of Kane..But whether Dominique actually knows Callista is alive is an open question. So maybe there was no lie on her part.

It's very sad that you still haven't learned how to use notifications (a regular forum feature) and in order to see my post in response to your post, you need me to quote your (@) nickname separately. Quoting your nickname is purely optional, it's enough that I quoted your post.

As for Callista, it's not that simple.

Neither you nor I fully know all the reasons why she had to do exactly that, without letting Kane know everything he could expect in JoyFacility. I'm sure her full motives and why she withheld certain things from Kane will be explained at the next time the son and mother meet. But for now what we do know is that she simply had no choice but to risk everything, yet that hasn't stopped you from accusing her of all the deadly sins. Callista also hid some key things from Olivia (like who her mother really is) and there was a reason for that too - the harsh conditions of the Gambit.

View attachment 4300026 -> View attachment 4300027 -> View attachment 4300028

I hope you also haven't forgotten that Callista is the GambitQueen, not just a mother who can do as she pleases. It's a long game of chess that can only be won by acting according to the Rules, and that's the only way Kane, Seth and Olivia have a chance to win. Thus, Callista watches over her children, but does so carefully in order to honor the terms of the Gambit and not deny them a chance to win.

View attachment 4300104 -> View attachment 4300119 -> View attachment 4300127

And this “harshly and fairly” is the only chance for victory in Gambit, there will be no other. Callista uses all the tools at her disposal to lead her children to victory, (provided, of course, that they show at least a minimum of responsibility and sanity, show willpower and don't grovel before sadistic bitches).

But she can't tell them everything, and she can't kick down the door to the Board and declare that Kane and Seth are in charge now...That's why Callista is forced to act with other people's hands and influence events in JoyFacility, remaining (until recently) hidden from everyone, except for “ninjas” Veronica and Alessandra(?).

You are an intelligent person and should realize that our Karlson's Gambit is a very deep game with a lot of secrets, multi-way plans and understatements, many of which we still don't know. And looking at it all through the prism of “my ‘evil’ mom didn't tell me everything and left me alone with the evil sadistic bitches” is too superficial, and you'll see that very soon. Just give Tess some time.

I was talking about the first comment that was made.

As for Callista, she literally couldve used the dekocks to protect Kane, but she didn't, she chose to sacrifice Kane to the alter of Alexander.

Honestly we've all been mistaken as to what would land Kane in K4 and affect his future in the game. We've been arguing dominant, submissive. However, none of that mattered, all thats about is Kane's sexual kinks. What lands Kane in 4 is whether or not he's willing to bully Zach which considering that he just went to jail for protecting his brother from a bully would make Kane a bit of a hypocrite.
So if we're going canon, Kanes already set up to be k4 before he even leaves the prison. So if Callista put him in the game knowing the rules and knowing how kane will react given his relationship with Zach, she absolutely set him up for failure and if she didnt know the rules, shes an idiot for putting her son in such a dangerous game with unknown variables.

I'm not quite sure why you consider K4 canon and not, for example, K6? Just because someone decided to cave in to the sadistas and be more submissive? But we have a choice in what we do and we don't have to bend at all.

So if Callista put him in the game knowing the rules and knowing how kane will react given his relationship with Zach, she absolutely set him up for failure and if she didnt know the rules, shes an idiot for putting her son in such a dangerous game with unknown variables.
