Welcome all!  I have uploaded now all versions of 0.8.1 on Itch!  Thanks!

0.8.1 adds almost another 3500 renders to the overall game, which has now crossed 20,000 renders!  Please note that given size issues with the overall game (a full version of everything is now about 20GB) I have had to split the overall game files so Episode 8 is essentially starting a new game file/game overall even though it's Part II.   Please note that you need to play Episodes 1-7 and save at the end to properly play Episode 8.  This is because the game is highly reliant on prior player choices determining the story, and you can't really get the full experience trying to just load up Episode 8 solo.  Please read the dev log regarding Episide 8 for further instructions on proper saving under Episode 7 for easy transfer.  Going from Episode 8 to 9 will be much easier as it's now a stand alone game/file of it's own moving forward for a while.

This is from my Patreon page, I hope you will take a look at it if you like the game!  I usually do a lot of bonus images not part of the game every month, etc.  

Current status as of 0.8.1 -- Roughly 20000+ renders, playtime varies by choices/path but there are many hours of replayability with choices.  :)  It's a long game with a lot of choices, so I do suggest making saves at some key choices at certain times.  But use the provided walkthroughs to help you experience the game the way YOU want!

The setting and brief synposis:

In Karlsson's Gambit, you play as a male protagonist who has recently been arrested and sentenced to five years in prison.  While in prison, he is approached by a mysterious woman who offers him an opportunity to work under a special program with one of the richest companies in the world, The Karlsson Group.  This program will allow him to get out of his sentence in only six months instead of five long years...if he can survive and thrive.


Little does he know that he will be exposed to a far more dangerous and strange situation than he anticipated, as he will be exposed to a world of conflict, ambition, cruelty, passion, and of course sex.

Ok, that's great, but what kinks and themes are in this game???

Right up front, I won't violate Patreon terms so don't expect things that would be a problem for this site.  (You know some typical ones I would mean...)


I also want to be right up front about the fact that this game will involve a number of very powerful and ambitious women that will have a great degree of control in the game.  This is a game that will have many femdom themed kinks and scenes given the overall world, but it is not a 100% femdom game if a player does not want to only explore the submissive femdom routes.  Alternative paths will allow a player to become more dominant with one or more girls, or even the entire situation if everything is played a certain way with choices.  Above all, I want a player to be able to have real narrative choices that create a different story experience.



I don't want to spoil story too much with specific characters and their narrative arcs and motivations, but I hope you can explore the game and see the different types of people in this story!



So, some basic highlights and kinks of the game:

- Character choice based tracking over time on dominance/submission, good/evil, and specific relationships with other characters.  Certain characters will also have natural tendencies for specific character tracks and be attracted to a dominant or submissive male character (or good or evil), and some - but not all - of them will be able to be influenced to change their initial desires and motivations.  

- Lighter femdom kinks for the more gentle submissive types, both for the male character and other male and female characters as well




- Harsher and more extreme femdom on a separate choice track over time for the main and other characters (avoidable by choices and be warned, some of the characters in this game will be very dark and evil, but of course there will be good and pure characters as well!)  I really want to warn those that might be sensitive to harsher cruelty to avoid this track as it may be too much for some people!

- Male domination path for those players more inclined to want to try and survive and thrive in an environment where mistakes can cost you.  There are ways for the main protagonist to "win" in more ways than one.


I don't want to spoil too many images, so let me list some additional kinks I am planning, but keep in mind the following: while I have an idea what I want for the overall narrative and choices, it is actually YOU, the Patreons that can influence me to specific kinks and ideas of other types of scenes you want over time.  I have very concrete and specific ideas, but also am quite open to the people with great ideas that would be supporting this game!  I actually believe that while the main endings I have in mind will likely be mostly intact, I also have a feeling there will be some great ideas from Patrons that will make the journey there different in ways I don't see as I write this today.



Planned additional kinks/themes: (trying to be generalized here, as I have so many ideas on specific kinks within a general area and want to have some surprises!)

- Dominant track over time for male domination, both lighter and a little stronger
- Lesbian content (normal and dom/sub)
- Single romance possibilities
- Harem possibility
- Ability to play selected moments/scenes as family/friends (you can personally name your main character and your friends/family to make it more customized to your liking) with choices that may impact the main character later



I don't want to spoil much more, but let's move to a few last questions!

How often will you update the game?



Now this is a really loaded question, especially with the situation with the world right now, but the honest truth is that I do have a small business that keeps me pretty busy.  However, this does allow me at times to have some flexibility to have a free day or two to work on the game.  Now, I really enjoy what I do and make a pretty good living, but I am very passionate about creating this story too!  My goal initially is probably roughly every two months, but I am so new to this and I want to be sure each release is good in quality, rather than being rushed out to make a specific time.  So two months is my goal but please don't always count on it as life can throw curve balls!  If I feel it is taking way too long, I will pause billing at some point to the next update.  I don't want to rip off anyone or make people feel bad about supporting me! 

I CAN promise that I will always work super hard to give you a good value to the best of my ability!





Why should I become a Patreon?



If you enjoy what I create, I hope you will consider it!  The most typical expense is just buying the assets needed to create pictures and scenes for the story!  Some of them are $50 to use in a commercial game as a licensed asset, so they really add up!  I also someday would like to be able to upgrade my computer as it's a limited GPU (6 GB only) and this has limited my ability to create exactly what I want with each picture.

Above all though, if you enjoy what I am creating, I would greatly appreciate if you would consider being a Patron.  Even the smallest donation is 100% appreciated by me, and I promise to strive to give each and every person good value for their commitment to me!  Thank you so much for reading my page and please enjoy yourselves!






Thank you!
