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

[Maviarab]

Technically everything is in the player's hands since we are kanes god and therefore control his world. What I was trying to say/ wonder aloud, is does Kane have to do out of character things with that playthrough to fall to K1

With the benefit we all have, yes.

Brand new player blind run? No, he doesn't.

Thanks, I was just coming to type that. There's a lot less "traps" than expected. For k1, you typically get to a choice...stop, decide to make the "worst" choice, and continue.
Also, I'm not 100% sure but I think you have to fall into Juliette's k4-k3 trap too, right? Otherwise you won't hit k1 and stop at k2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Compare that to dom where even in my first playthrough, just doing what "felt" right led me into the dom path and high ranks (k9 wasn't a thing yet, in the before times, when Tess used to actually talk here).

I don't know. Getting k1 is hard. You have to min-max for it. If you just don't pay attention maybe you can screw up bad enough to get k2 naturally.

The only dom min-max point metagaming I can think of off the top of my head are things like picking the exact responses for the massage task(which is probably unnecessary) and not having Scarlett and Sam suck you off in the car and having them make out instead. The car thing is like ch7 though.

Yeah obviously if ur in Kane’s shoes and don’t know about the inner workings of how the system of that world works in a sense, you can definitely end up k4,3,2… with all the forces involved.. obviously personal.. desires can be awakened in the scenario too but yeah

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

On a bit of an off topic thing playing the the sanchomod in the earlier version I just learned that earlier Dom and Juliette alliance that seemingly goes nowhere on the dom path actually happens on the sub path.I wonder how many other scenes are confined to one path like that. ( Probably a bit, but I havent been paying attention).

Yes k4 is canon (unofficially). Although tess always said no path is canon but, I think k4 makes sense.

(Edited, sorry for my bad english).

Yes. They form a "defense pact" of a sort and give sub Kane the option of being sponsored by one of them, which is like declaring loyalty in exchange for help, and they promise that if you pick one of them the other won't put a target on Kane.

So k4 is your canon, got it.

Where did she said that k4 makes sense? I think she did said the canon is where the MC just somehow escapes all this, and k4 seems like a path that will lead to it because it's the middle ground between getting involved or getting stuck.

Good for you bro because I played the game initially without walkthrough and I got a k4 even though maledom is my primary kink just because I wanted to be a good boy and shared my food with the prisoners and chose elena is my mentor.

Then I found walkthrough and damn.. k6 bitch..

 

[Negan22]

I think saying "your canon" "my canon" in a game where the canon is already decided is kinda overboard we can't choose a route to be our canon we can only speculate what the canon route is.

What canon was decided?

Same here, I was so maledom my dumb ass got electrocuted by Elena for refusing to put up with her shit at the beginning but I still wound up k4 because I didn't realize the Zach connection to ranking until I read the walkthrough

I said that.. She said nothing like that.

I mean If I knew I wouldn't have said that we have to speculate it, it's decided by Tess but she didn't disclosed it.

Sorry no. Edited.

 

[jadepaladin]

I gotcha. That's why I thought it was funny the other guy brought up k4 as canon.

In a game with no official canon, it's what you make it.
I can say canon is k9, I'll get judged by someone for it, don't care.
I can say canon is k4, I'll get judged by someone for it, don't care.
I can say canon is k1, I'm an idiot, and should be judged for it.

It's all head-canon and what you make of it.

 

[harsha_26]

I mean If I knew I wouldn't have said that we have to speculate it, it's decided by Tess but she didn't disclosed it.

She won't. Because that ruins other players plans. Although I don't have a damn about canon along as I get enjoyment from my prefered paths. Playing games itself is a fantasy for me. My Real life is my canon.

 

[MagicMan753]

I said that.. She said nothing like that.

The game does have a Canon ending to apply to future game. It actually has two canons, one sub one dom, that will be a throuple of Olivia and Veronica(based on hints in discord). This is the Canon for the future game TQA. But Miss Tess also said don't get too caught up in canon and just pick what you want or enjoy.

 

[harsha_26]

No path is my canon. My real life is my canon.

the player never meeting angelica is canon. Cant spell canon wihout ca
