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

[Masterofdisaste]

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.

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.”

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.

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.
