Monthly Game Spotlight: Karlsson's Gambit

Added 2022-07-13 14:01:03 +0000 UTC

Hi all, let me introduce you all to a choice based adult visual novel called Karlsson's Gambit. It's made by a really nice female game dev, Grym Gudinna Games! http://www.patreon.com/grymgudinnagames

Our story starts with a young man unfairly imprisoned for a crime he didn't really commit. A mysterious woman offers him the chance to join a special rehabilitation program with one of the most powerful companies in the world, The Karlsson Group. Little does he know he is about to enter a dangerous world of scheming, betrayal, alliances, and of course sex.

The plot has a very Game of Thrones aspect to it, as you must figure out which women to help or work against in your game. You can try and only go for ultimate power and bedding as many women as possible, or try and pick a special one by romancing her and working together. The visual novel is very deep with branching choices, and fifteen planned endings.

The game has two primary but independent paths -- a strong and dominant man that can play as good/evil or something in between, and a more submissive man along the same lines of morality. While the game is set in a world with a lot of powerful females, a successful player that chooses well can overcome the obstacles and take power for himself. The game also allows the player to control the protagonist's sister at times, and her choices can also impact the overall story. So choose well :)

The game currently has roughly 9,500 renders and 350,000 words. The dev was even brought on recently to write for a AAA game studio by a dev on that team that enjoyed playing this game.
