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

Olivia's cool with me, Olivia is the only one bothering to give Kane any real information and honestly the other sisters are much worse to her considering they have had access to the Karlsson weapons all their lives while Olivia is just getting introduced to that lifestyle.

I get that but can't agree.

Olivia had access to Callista herself. She had a pretty damn privileged upbringing in secret as well, all things considered. We are even told she had lessons throughout her whole youth. Including freaking acting lessons. There isn't a doubt in my mind she is playing a part. Nothing she does or says is the least bit honest. I don't think she gives a damn about Kane or Seth. She has a purpose and a goal and that's all that matters to her. She will lie, deceive and manipulate anyone in her way to get what she wants.

Which is why, to me, she's top 2 of most disgustingly evil chars in the game. Second only to Veronica.

But one thing is right. Olivia has more secrets.

No doubt. "That" is one of the big things I'm trying to learn as the game progresses. How much did Callista really teach her during her upbringing? How much of what we see Olivia say and do is the "real" Olivia and how much of that is theater put on to influence or deceive others? How much free will does Kane really have vs. how much of what we see is forced/manipulated to steer him to act as he does?

Does Good Olivia truly love and respect Dom-Good Kane the way she tells him she does? Or is it all just an act to manipulate things to achieve a specific outcome?

I want to think so but this game tends to dash a lot of hopes and things often don't end well for men. This, along with the "how did this all come to happen" probably are the two biggest things I'm sticking around for. If nothing else, the writer has set the hook for me on this.
