VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.31 TestB] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[MilesEdgeworth]

Is it possible to play evil revolution in true dom path? If yes, how? As far as I know, Junko is the key and we should be in good heart to get her points.

Nope you have to be good since you need junko, best you can do is the fake revolution as a bad guy.
Maybe you can somehow be good enough to get a dom sponsorship then you can go evil, but Im not sure if that would work.

Guys, whatever path you choose, always keep angelica close and loyal towards you. You won't regret. She is like the wild card of this game and have capability to give you what you truly want.

May be possible in future. Tess hinted this game is like fallout New Vegas where we can betray and switch factions. But this game is already very complicated.

I realize there is a route in which MC ends up in K3. I won't try it but I am curious about what happens to MC in that route

To start as K3 you have to accept Scarlett's offer in the plane. It is mostly the same as K4 but you get some extra scenes with Scarlett and Juliette and then you are put in one of this cells in the floor and Olivia can decide to piss on Kane.The morning scene is also different. Afterwards it depends on you if you want to raise up again or fall down even further.

 

[Deleted member 1258732]

Siding with Juliette seems likely to be the same thing since she simply may not care about survival of the species as long as she is the last survivor.

But then you have to side with Juliette who is just comic book evil. I would like the idea of Kane basically snapping because of all the shit and trauma they put him through and going full berserk on all of them. I would also be ok with a good dom Kane becoming chairman and then immediatly enslaving/killing off all off the karlssons and most of their higher employees then starting a war with the DeCocks basically destroying the current system on his own.

Another thing: It is hinted that Olivia knows already a lot from Callista from even before the game, and she is just pretending to be suprised and unknowing. I think it would have been great if something similiar could have gone on for Kane. Basically him already being part of the revolution and he was placed inside of the gambit by the revolution to attack the Karlssons from within.

Also if Olivia really knows about everything then it is even more reason for Kane going berserk on her and Callista too. They just accept that he is put so through so much shit without preparing him for it.

I requested tess, as I seen previews of cole and callista fucking to delete the scene in sub paths, if not, atleast, atleast in K1 path (when i'm her patreon, now got banned). But she didn't give a damn about it. And some of her sub fans given some crazy reasons on Why "Callista should be deserved reconciliation happiness in-spite of sub kane torture", that are not upto my brain to understand really. I came from a place where parents are too emotional about their children. I thought I'm different. Now, I realized that discord server is a like a cult and they tried their best to become a cult member.

Yeah when Cole asked her if they should go for a third time, I lost all hope and respect for his character. How are they not go to open war using the DeCocks power to get Kane free as soon as possible.

I am playing right now the revolution path (It feels strange that is tied to Junko Romance path - I think having a Kane that is not tied to anybody should also be able to do it). But even the people of the revolution want to do it safe and slow. Basically saying they don't want to free all slaves at once because it would mean chaos ... but yeah it should be chaos. It should be a open hunting season for everyone who was in power before and was not part of the revolution. Hopefully Kane can betray the revolution in just creating chaos by deactivating all chips of all slaves at once.

Why were you banned from the patreon?

Because we are under surveillance. Although I'm her patreon and in discord, I'm used to spend my time here discussing with fellow dom minded players as their server is not that welcoming to dom players in the true sense. And Whatever we are discussed here daily is all watched by Tess's loyalists.

Yeah, I don't see anything interesting about Junko and feel like I'm whoring myself out to her on my alt good dom/powergaming playthrough just to ensure I get the revolution.

Meanwhile on my original blind good playthrough where I started out K4 and climbed to K7 (the suffering and eventual role reversal was a lot more entertaining than the basic fetish wish fulfillment of the straightforward sub/dom paths for masochists/sadists) and should've been a prime candidate for revenge/revolution they don't make contact. You get a separate cutscene between a couple of revolutionnaries saying they're not sure whether you can be trusted.

If it then turns out you don't actually need to become Junko's lover to get or join the revolution then it will just be my fault for cheating with a guide.

Wow that's rich.

The further I play the new episode the more unhinged it gets ... not sure if I will finish it. To me a lot of times it feels not like femdom but some kind of extreme over the top findom (Which I already don't like) and some kind of fetish about social inequality. I mean I like femdom and power dynamics and everything, but also it feels like Kane gets offered a lot of sexual stuff but all other subs are just tortured and too often murdered for fun.

The whole game show feels like a sexualized version of running man, the long walk or battle royale.
It would be better if at least some characters were likeable. But everyone who seems to be not totally fucked in the dom path seems to be extremly fucked up if you played sub path too (Junko for example).

I think it would be easier to stomach if the themes wouldn't be so extreme all the time.

Why make the game so complicated? I thought The Game Show's plot would be like the Squid Game, but it's actually quite boring

As a Dom player, the current event is simply boring and pointless. The point system is absurd and illogical (variable: dgame). For Tess, this event only serves to further appease her supporters. Wasting almost four updates on it speaks volumes.

In my opinion, Tess is failing at the most crucial moment. This test version is a prime example. First, let's remove the scenes that are identical in both the sub-path and the Dom path. These scenes, which generally don't involve Kane, are, in my opinion, really good and the most interesting. Here, the story/backstory is told and the characters' scheming is showcased. However, if you move on to the remaining scenes, the actual paths, these are completely detached from the story and are... (I can't find the words to describe it). This makes one thing abundantly clear: The ratio of content/decisions from the Dom path to the Sub path is estimated to be at least 60% in favor of the Sub path.

I'm still waiting for the final version, but I don't expect any significant changes, especially in the Dom path!

Never imagined a father would react like this, a father who loudly cheered his son’s name while Callista was pregnant.”

Okay Mom and Dad, thankyou for being wonderful parents. Let's meet in Evil Dom path.

 

[crawhammer]

Does anyone have a download for the previous version, haven't got round to S2 yet and would like to play with WT mod

 

[Laxus007]

I feel like the story progression has come to a halt in s2. The pacing was good in s1.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Please tell me im seeing those scenes out of context and that the parents arent patting themselves on the back for not only putting Kane in such a dangerous situation but also not even preparing him for the situation.

Nope that is actually exactly what happens.
But the father also asks the mother fuck a third time ... beacuse fuck their child. And their other child too - they just doing human experiments on him ... but thats ok, because it's the good Karlsson sister who is doing that ... she is definetly not evil at all. (Ok maybe Seth isn't really Coles or Callistas son - but he was raised by Callista)

There are no likeable characters in this game. It is completely devoid of them, imo.

There are a few I don't absolutely hate like Jake, Zach, Amy, Seth, Kwame and Amara. Everyone else I'd gladly drench in gasoline and set 'em ablaze.

In a post apocalyptic landscape, if society has devolved into this, it's time for society to end. At this point I'm just mad the apocalypse didn't finish the job This version of humanity needs to be wiped out.

Yeah, game is turning boring. Sadly. All this endless "games arc" is detracting story progression. It seems just an excuse to indulge into her sadistic fantasies
Let's hope 8.3.2 or whatever she calls it ends this games plot. Not sure about that...
Even if it ends there, I'm not optimistic about future of the game. Too much crucial things seem to be "set in stone" regardless of your choices.
For example, Veronica, the great genius and so on. She's so important for the world salvation, so I can't kill her, fine.
But for sure she doesn't need functional legs. Or a tongue. She could keep doing her genius things under your command, as a "special worker" aka slave, as a punishment for being a collaborator all her life on this dystopic nightmare.
Instead of that she gets a "get out of jail free card", thanks to Tess Just to name a topic where Kane can't decide shit. There are many more.
