Karlsson's Gambit by Grym Gudinna Games!
Let me introduce you all to a choice based adult visual novel called Karlsson's Gambit.
It's made by a really great female game dev, Tess/Grym Gudinna Games!
A huge update with Episode 8.1 (3,400 renders) is now live as well! The overall game is
now over 20,000 renders!
Platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac, & Android
The story – A bad start for our hero…
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.
A deep and branching storyline where choices really matter!
YOU choose your destiny!
The plot has a very Game of Thrones aspect to it, as you must figure out which women
and factions to help or work against in the game. You can aim for ultimate power with
bedding as many women as possible at all costs, or you can try and strategize for
specific ones to help your cause. The visual novel is very deep with branching choices,
and fifteen planned endings. The main character can achieve a high of ultimate power
with a harem of his dreams or the perfect romance…a low of actually dying…or many
different fates in between these extremes!
Choose your playstyle and morality!
The game has two primary but independent paths that are completely unique and
separate with their own deep storylines -- 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 smart player
that chooses well can overcome all obstacles and take power (and pleasure!) 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.
A rich world of lore and interesting settings...
Experience unique settings with everything at stake as people are scrambling for power
and survival in a rapidly changing world!
The game currently has roughly 20,000+ renders and 100+ animations, with hours of
replayability to explore different choices!
The game dev Tess (Grym Gudinna) was even hired by a famous studio game director
to help write for a recently released Triple A game that has grossed hundreds of millions
of dollars in sales. (This director loved playing Karlsson's Gambit!)

I have actually played this game (a lot). Why? In my opinion Karlsson's Gambit is the most intelligent game ever written. There are a lot of choices, a lot of paths and every one requires a lot of thinking and concentration. I consider this a challenge both mentally and for your morality. The wrong choice can have dire consequences for the MC (or someone else). As good as this game is, one thing I should add is "Player discretion is advised".
