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

[Maviarab]

"If k1 if k1 if k1". Look, she can't help him if he is dumb and useless enough to end up in k1. Doesn't expect Kane to get there. She can't do everything.

Who ever actually ends up in k1 without trying to fuck up that bad?

You HAVE to do it intentionally. There's no stumbling into k1.

On the flipside, k9 feels natural? Maybe I've done too many dom runs.

Which once again begs the discussion (to piss off certain pathetic simps I know still read my posts) that the whole thing is a fake. Femdom game my ass hahaha....everything Calista has done...and people still think being a sub is the default for Kane?

At the point that Kane is put into the gambit, Veronica has Alexander right where she wants him. He cant do shit. I think whatever the reason that Callista puts him in the gambit goes beyond the fact that Alexander wants him there. Im guessing that she wants access the Karlsson's resources for whatever shitstorm is headed their way.

For Callista, the gambit is the most important thing. (Veronica said this to Astrid)
By the end of 8.2, Callista has Veronica's support. In addition, Cole and his sister Cynthia are also supporting them. Effectively, they could have all the power to rule the world.(and help Kane)

If you squint really hard you could kind of see how k4 Kane might work and make sense. Definitely nothing bellow that.

The question is if Kane as a k4 runs foul of someone like Juliette who is sadistic as fuck, and loves demoting people can one really say that the player is forcing it? Can't really agree or disagree cuz I've never played as a sub but I figure there are enough traps playing as k4 where it's posiible to fall to k1 without the god controlling Kane having to force it.

It’s in the players hands tbh.. I don’t think even know why this is still a topic of discussion… but yeah, there’s “traps” in a sense…

The k4 to k3 demotion Juliette trap at the beginning is a one off type of thing in sub route. The only other bullshit demotion thing is secret sub and getting demoted by Alessandra if you get to k9.

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).

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.

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.

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.

 

[Negan22]

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.
