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

[Silver_Crow117]

1. Expanded/tweaked harem arc with Alessa, Celeste and Phoebe with the addition of someone else there...Let's start with the fact that Phoebe will also be in this harem was unexpected news to many (including me). This wicked and mysterious woman with a dark past is full of secrets, and let's be honest, this juicy milf is pretty hot. Will KaneDom be able to handle his new harem? I think he's going to have to try..) But then Tess pulls ahead, announcing the expansion of her already a priori bombastic quartet of perverts. I wonder what (and who) it will be...Maybe it'll be some sort of compensation for the "demon" flag cancelation.. Well, time will tell.

2. Regarding Angelica's transfer from Tier2 to Tier1 (thanks to an insider from Silver, we already knew about this good news)..I can only repeat that I am happy about it. This is the girl I really want to build a relationship with. Let's see how the other elite female contenders react to this, hehe..

"How dare this Kane choose some redheaded wilderness savage over us? Unheard of insolence!"

3. Tess is true to her word and I'm looking forward to this Ep8 pt2 hint about Olivia's sub path, which was first mentioned in the official Ep8 pt1 walkthrough and now we've seen it in her public post as well. I'm very intrigued by this and I really want to take this path all the way to the end, building a romance with lovely Olivia in such a way that she becomes a submissive/obedient wife for my KaneDom making his way to the throne of this Empire. I'm sure I'm not alone in this desire and many Dom players have long wanted the same..

4. Tess's new computer - this news can't be overemphasized..No matter how responsible and hard working you are, hardware is key here. It's great that Tess is thinking ahead, buying a computer that will be able to run the latest RTX 5090 in the future. This card promises to be a very expensive and scarce commodity, but the mere fact that Tess is thinking about it shows that she cares about her game and is willing to invest in it.

Her new 4090 RTX isn't just about making renders faster, it's also about increasing the number of characters in a single scene. Tess wrote that she used to have trouble with mass scenes like this before, but now everything should be fine.

As for the "demon" flag for Dom path..I can't say I've actively played that path (I have a save with that flag, but it's not my favorite playthrough). Nevertheless, I understand the feelings of those people who will be deprived of this content thanks to the isolated inadequates and jerks (among the game's patrons) who demanded even more from Tess..But what is, is, and you have to live with it.

On the other hand, I don't understand why there remains a "demoness" flag for Olivia if it's essentially part of the same branch. Sounds a little unfair..Well, let's see what Tess gives in return for the demon flag... I think she'll have to try her best to keep the players, especially the ones who actively romanced Juliette, happy with what will come to replace that flag.

Also

indeed, Dom Players will adjust with some of the news… good and bad! For us Sub players, we EATIN GOOD! I’ll list them down for the The players that aren’t vocal hahaha

1- “The secret sub path will add one more female character to this narrative, it will be either optional or an add on to the originally intended group of women involved.”
Not sure who but it’ll be interesting to see the reveal!!

2-Angelica not only moving up for dom players but also learning that “Her plans for the sub side were already pretty expansive/deep and don't require a tweak from my side.” Absolutely excited that Angelica is getting deeper stuff for the sub Kane side!! Red head lovers rejoice! (Veronica, Delilah, Charlotte and now Angelica)

3- we can now save A Karlsson sister, along with Zach (as sub and dom Kane!)

4- The Sub Kane also Having the secret ending (more optimal if he has a higher ranking)

5- Using the Kpass to save/tweak rank for Kane, Jake and Zach, but also “wasting it on some special fun with an unknown character)

6- Sub Kane can also be on the revolution path, helping that certain faction if he joins the right one… heh

7- Depending on what faction you Join, you can serve and focus on any of the characters within it specifically! An easy example is that you can try and steer towards say Elena instead of Olivia on purpose if picking Olivia’s faction! Olivia will always lead Elena but you can serve Elena way more directly. But you can't say serve Elena and go against Olivia and keep Elena.

8- A good or evil Olivia will recruit different people too her faction

9- World State A is required for Auction path

There’s more but busy ATM!

Ok Gentlemen, place your bets on who will be the first Karlsson sister to bite the dust .
I'm putting my money on Alessandra.
Veronica is very important in the story, Dominique also has weight in another part of the main story and Jules is the villain of the game, so she has to be there until the end, as in any well-told story .

 

[Zenith_11]

I am sure that the demon route for Kane would've been deliciously diabolical. It has been fun playing the evil dom route and watching Kane slowly become more depraved and unhinged. He's stepped on others to rise through the ranks and loves to see others squirm underneath his boot. There's just something really satisfying about seeing Karlsson sisters like Juliette reduced to submissive bitches for Kane. Especially since they're normally used to slaves answering their every beck and call.

I wish there was a scene where Kane can torture Seth while playing with Juliette or Olivia. If there was a choice to inject him with the pain serum with the body shock level amped all the way up. The last thing Seth see would see as he fades into oblivion is his brother Kane hammering Juliette into the bed while they watch him with morbid curiosity. I def hope there's an option to kill off Zach and Jake too. Maybe even make them turn on each other by sparing whoever comes out on top.Kane could psychologically break them down to the point where they're so mindfucked that they become nothing but an empty husks of their former selves who exist only to be demeaned on a daily basis for the amusement of their betters.

I really do hope Juliette stays the same because it would suck to have a watered down PG version of her. Again, I would've loved to play an even more extreme route with the Kane+Olivia demon route. My playthrough would make Juliette's actions look tame in comparison.

 

[PickerLewd]

I'm surprised that a Sub-Kane can move up from K4, I guess Tess changed her plans over time .
On the one hand, I think it's the best decision, as it's boring and always the same to stay between K2 and K4, but on the other hand, I assure you that if you started the game at K4, it was very difficult to go up without a guide, and there was no way to go up after episode 6.

Whoa, whoa, slow down a bit, cowboy. Alessandra is supposed to be in Kane's harem (and she will be), it's a full arc with a separate ending announced by Tess herself. No, of course it would be "funny" if the snake who wanted to kill her sisters was killed by them or someone else...But still, I wouldn't want the sisters to be killed early on. It would be a shame to lose potentially hot content with any of them. Tess, as the creator of the game, knows best ofc, but personally I think such fatal showdowns between key characters (in the vein of Tarantino movies) are best left for the very end of the game.

My bad, I had read the spoiler about one of the sisters dying in episode 10, but it turns out to be something optional in a side-story, so nothing will happen in my game .

The scene on Juliette's yacht has nothing to do with the demon.flag. At least on the EvilDom path, my Kane was not a "demon", but was involved in that scene. So based on that logic, there should (probably) be no mitigation of future Juls scenes. IMHO, the scene on the yacht is much more evil than the demon scene with Juliette in Ep8 pt1 (in terms of psychological impact on the player).

I'm more interested in what Tess is preparing for those players who developed a love relationship with Juls. You can't just take that and cross it out, no one will understand it...What does it mean to change the narrative, what is behind those words...Anyone have thoughts on this?

At least, if there is an alternative possibility to make Juliette a slave, I will be extremely happy about it. That proud sadistic bitch needs to know her place. (at Kane's feet)

"The secret sub path will add one more female character to this narrative, it will be either optional or an add on to the originally intended group of women involved."

Hmm, didn't realise this was all happening as one group of women so far. I didn't enjoy the Alessandra secret-sub stuff at all, so I was hoping the other women mentioned as being possibilities on that route were going to be separate options with their own choices. Guess I'm less likely to maintain that playthrough.

Too bad Stan, you should go and confess to the Church for wanting to do that .

There are only two possibilities with Jules:
1. You play a good and righteous Kane, so she must inevitably end up dead .
2. You play a sadistic and evil Kane, so you have to marry her and breed with her. But be very patient with the future daughters, as they will destroy your wallet every chance they get .

It was mentioned awhile ago, but sub Kane can go above k4 but the variable will be TrueSub k5+ remember,
Some Characters will want Sub Kane As a Slave,

Some want him as a servant-

And some want him regardless

Also take into Account with what faction ur aiming for since when picking a faction you’ll be able to choose the umbrella of characters in it as well

 

[Silver_Crow117]

I’m making a list of all the characters that might be in the factions (who are more relevant), obviously some characters might switch sides!! Had this is coming from the sub Kane POV :

> ****Juliette’s/Dominique Faction**** Maybe one of the biggest factions
- Juliette
- Dominique
- Samantha (Could switch to Olivia’s)
- Scarlett
- Mercy
- Desmonda
- Kyle (Killable if going Juliette’s favorite slave route with sub Kane)
- Sonya
- Junko ( Can switch to Veronica’s faction?)
- Delilah (Can Switch’s factions to…?)

>****Olivia’s Faction****
- Olivia
- Elena
- Katsumi ( Can Switch to Juliette’s/Dom)
- Chanel
- Raven
- Dr. Chastain (Can switch to Veronica)
- Samantha (Switch to Jul/Dom?)
- Kiyomi? (Can switch?)
- Cassandra
- Taylor?
- Hyori (switch?)

> ****Veronica’s Faction****
- Veronica
- Dr. Chastain (can Switch to Olivia’s Faction)
- Erica
- Nurse Reyes (can live or die)
- Junko (Can Switch to Jul/Dom Faction)
- Astrid
- Claudia
- Yvette
- Possibly Nadia?
- Kiyomi? (Can Switch to Olivia’s)

> ****Alessandra Faction****
- Alessandra
- Celeste
- Patricia
- Alyssa
- Angelica?
- Phoebe??

Miss Tess Pointed out that I forgot about the Decock Syndicate… “What about Cynthia and the overall company The DeKock Syndicate? Just wondering heh...”…

 

[Stan5851]

My bad, I had read the spoiler about one of the sisters dying in episode 10, but it turns out to be something optional in a side-story, so nothing will happen in my game .

Honestly, it doesn't feel like a side story yet.

One Karlsson sister that was planned to be killed in Episode 10 will now have a chance to live/die based on certain choices and outcomes from earlier episodes.

I bet it will be part of the main story that both doms and subs will see in ep10. So now we're left wondering which sister will be that eventual victim and what decisions we'll have to make to save her (or not).

It was mentioned awhile ago, but sub Kane can go above k4 but the variable will be TrueSub k5+ remember,
Some Characters will want Sub Kane As a Slave,

Some want him as a servant-

And some want him regardless

Do you remember the variables?
I mean, slave was K1-K2, servant K3-K4, and for those characters who don't care, it would be K5 or more?

K1 is death, (Bonus sub content as Miss Tess has said lmao)
K2-3 is Slave
K4 is Servant with minimal freedom
K5 and above will be like a servant but with more “freedom” but in a subservient way, more different obviously than secret sub…

 

[PickerLewd]

> ****Veronica’s Faction****
- Veronica
- Dr. Chastain (can Switch to Olivia’s Faction)

I think that is almost impossible. I remember the dialogue with the Doctor saying that she is a close friend and loyal to Veronica. Also, Veronica still has a higher rank than Olivia.

Yeah but depending on ur choices with Olivia, you might be able to switch Chastain to Olivia’s Faction or she’ll stay in Veronica! Remember some characters can switch depending on choices!
Also, it doesn’t matter if Veronica holds higher statues, there’s still a separate faction… as miss tess stated, she only revealed one faction officially and only two members so far, “Yes, the only one for sure that I have shown is Olivia/Elena”

Why lump Dominique and Juliette together? They're not really any more united with each other than they are with Alessandra.

Nevermind, I see now.. going by that update post, seems there will be a Dominique+Juliette route.

 

[Maviarab]

Yeah but depending on ur choices with Olivia, you might be able to switch Chastain to Olivia’s Faction or she’ll stay in Victorias! Remember some characters can switch depending on choices!

I think it might be better to reformat your post and use colours. There is a whole lot of assumption there (unless you have knowledge no one else does) then no one can get confused and (as some will) take it as fact.

As you say, only one person in one faction is confirmed at this point. Make that obvious that the rest is purely your conjecture/thoughts.
