itch.io

hi i am able to download this file on two different pcs ok im not sure what could be wrong if you have discord i can try and send a direct link maybe?  i tested this abt 1 hour ago and then again a different pc a laptop.  Im sorry but not sure whats wrong.  :(  The only thing i can think of is maybe ur computer is flagging it somehow as a virus aod stopping download?  I will check with itch too tommorrow if i can contact Tess.

Hi which version/file did you try and download?  Do you mean the link itself won't download or that the file when trying to use it after a download isn't loading?

The dev is on her honeymoon and is back the 7th but I will try and help you.  :)  If you know where our Discord is, you can reach out to me there (Mistress Anais) or just ask in the forums in general, I will see it.  :)

The most common problem for S1 is the Android file has two different downloads for the archive file for some older Androids one file works but the other doesn't for some reason.  (that is why there are two) So if it's the Android version this was her post helping this issue:

You need to download for Season 1 the files called 0.7B (which is either PC/Mac or in Android's case the following two files seem to work best (I have one backup copy for media files as it seems very old Androids have some problems with one of them)

SEASON 1 - Karlsson's Gambit 0.7B Android APK (be sure to download the media or 56 MB

archive7bmain.rpa (Android main rpa file for images try backup if this has problems loading  2.9 GB

(Android files there you need both)

My note: There is another rpa file for S1 also there that is the backup that for some reason works on some select Android phones but not all of them.  (still haven't figured this out so just made two version, sorry about the inconvenience if this is the issue, I will note to her to try and add more description in the files)

that sounds right actually the file name -- the 7z can be upzipped by 7zip program.  I'll check the file again to be sure when I get home just to be sure.

Hi there,

Which version?  You need to download for Season 1 the files called 0.7B (which is either PC/Mac or in Android's case the following two files seem to work best (I have one backup copy for media files as it seems very old Androids have some problems with one of them)

SEASON 1 - Karlsson's Gambit 0.7B Android APK (be sure to download the media or 56 MB

archive7bmain.rpa (Android main rpa file for images try backup if this has probl  2.9 GB

(Android files there you need both)

You can play from the start at Episode 1 with 0.7B files, and then when you get to the end, you make a save that can transfer to the second season, which is one of these depending on version:

Season 2 - KarlssonsGambit-0.8.2PC Updated 2/14/20251.9 GB  (PC DOWNLOAD)

Season 2 - KarlssonsGambit-0.8.2Mac Updated 2/14/20251.9 GB (MAC DOWNLOAD)

Android (need both below to work)

SEASON 2 archive.rpa (AndroidData Files Main pack)2.4 GB

Karlsson's Gambit Android 8.2FinalB (new).apk110 MB

Hope this helps, the Karlsson's Gambit Discord is much better for faster response times but I will check here again when I wake up (it's getting late here and zzz soon, hope this helps!)

Hi make sure you are saving on the NAMED save file screen, I made a tutorial on Discord with screenshots to show how to do this as some people are saving two screens too "early" -- it's the right screen if you have to TYPE in a save game name, if you don't have to type in a save name, then hit enter 1 or 2 more times until you get a prompt that says you can type in your save game and THAT's the right spot :)

(End of Episode 7, the screen where you see a mask and it ASKS YOU to type a named save, hope this helps, please let me know if you need any more help!)

Hello, I am sorry I missed this -- you don't need to move any saves from anywhere, they should auto load when you hit "Start" on version 8.1 if you saved properly at the end of Episode 7 (Season 1).  If you can find me on Discord I can help more directly and/or others can too!  The saves from 7 are called "persistent" saves meaning Episode 8,1 looks for the files from the 7 files (unmoved) to load up in 8.1.

No, but I know of the dev yes.  Hope things download/work ok for you :)

Hi, make sure you first download Episodes 1-7 Android files first -- it's Season 1 and needs to be played before Episode 8, Part 1 which is separate set of Android files.  

On the page, you need first the first file listed here (APK at top), and then one of the other two below (archive or media) one is a backup for I think older Android phones (sorry I have an iPhone so got help for porting)

Karlsson's Gambit 0.7B Android APK (be sure to download the media or backup file56 MB

archive.rpa (Android 0.7B Data files Main pack)2.9 GB

0.7b_media-game.zip (Android 0.7B data files backup if main gives problems) 2.9 GB

----

This file below is meant to be played after Season 1 which is this file on the page:

KG.two-0.8.1FinalB-fix1.apk1.2 GB

So if you tried to just download this file and play it, it won't work as you need the top file first and play through it.

If you are still having problems, please feel free to come on the Discord and write me directly as I am on there more often and can answer more quickly. :)

Hi, the game is two parts.  Episodes 1-7 are in the file called 0.7Final B - there are multiple versions on the listing (PC/Mac, etc)  Episode 8 Part 1 is the second part.  You should play 0.7FinalB first through completion and then you can make a save that will carry over to Episode 8, Part 1.  If you are still having trouble finding the files, please contact me on my Discord directly as I can more easily help directly.  :) 

Yes, on the Discord there are multiple walkthroughs on the downloads channel, the files here on Itch also have some walkthroughs.   

Hi I sent you a file on Discord the Mac file needs to be compressed again to fit on Itch (there is a 4GB limit and the original Episodes 1-7 is a 13GB file)

Checking on this and have confirmed with about 7 Android users that they could download and play.  I'll check on their versions if I can too.  I think it's best if you come on the Discord and talk to Android experts (I have an iPhone so can't test directly) that know how to load it all.   But you should be able to load first Episodes 1-7 and then play to the end of that game, have a save, then launch Episode 8 Part I and the save will carry over.

android seems to work I don't think iphones do check with the discord mobile expert there wills but pretty sure Android ok

Hi, this is not my expertise at all (I don't know a lot about this) but I would say the dom path doesn't seem to have nor will have this kind of content?  The sub path has multiple male underlings in the same room so I can't say for sure this kind of definition might not exist in game?  I don't really think too hard about this kind of thing, but I wouldn't play the sub path if err seeing other men being submissive to females that might dom you earlier/later matters.  (meaning a Mistress has to do her job and discipline multiple men in the story overall they can't just focus on one guy the entire game)  I would try asking in the Discord with members/players that know this stuff better.  I'm just not an expert on this kind of thing, as I think most women (at least ones I know and myself too) don't really think too hard about say other women with a man, etc.

Hi Lewis, please download first versions 1-7 it should be the file that says generally 0.7FinalB depending on which version you need to use, and play through that, it's a lot of content and then make sure to save at the end of 7.  After 7, Episode 8 is a separate "game" because of size issues so I had to split it, but you can continue saves from 7 to 8.  You can download 8 separately as 0.8.1 but play that second as you need a save from 7 to keep going.  (1-7 is all together so it justs saves/plays as you go)  You can contact me also on the Discord if you have further any questions or concerns! 

Hi everyone!

I'm leaving this last message up for everyone as unfortunately I am disabling comments for now as I explained the issue to Tess and she approved.  I think there's a mentally ill person spamming here (posted 79 straight comments of hate on here) so I let Itch know and they may help resolve future issues, and for now she suggested to me to disable comments in the setting page.

Ty to the person who resolved and answered message and that's way too generous to me!   

Msg resolved thank you!

Hi, the Itch version will be a little later than Patreon release because it's just the Final Version itself and not the Test and I have to compress it to under 4GB for this version.  (this should be ok for Episode 8)   What usually happens is I release a test version on Patreon first and I get feedback from Patrons there, and then make changes for a Final Version which comes on Itch here.  

Episodes 1-7 are one set, and Episodes 8-14 are another set, but I will also write up a specific way for people to write me to get Episode 8 if they bought Episodes 1-7 already as I can check which emails bought the prior set.  So one time, Episode 8 is a new part but after that my intent is that 8 is connected to many more future updates as one piece so Episodes 9,10,11 and so on would be part of 8.  I have to split it one time to avoid an extreme size problem (the game being too big in file size)  

Hi I am so sorry I missed this I am helping Tess cover Itch page since she is super close to update, which link?  I can try and help if you didn't figure it out.

Anais

hello all just a message from your friendly Anais!  Please report problems but this is not a place for whiners or losers thank you!  It's just more work for me and I'm just a humble helper :(

Hi there!

I actually update my Patreon page every single Sunday without fail and Discord pretty often as well, but you've made me think I probably should update Itch once in a while!  I am currently crossing 2,000 renders for Episode 8 as of about today, and just grinding on it, thanks!

I would so wish for a translation in Chinese, I even wanted to write Chinese dialogue with English subtitles too with one character at the start of Episode 7 as another little thing to show Olivia was exposed to/understands Chinese given her early life at the temple.  (the character with little Olivia at the start at the temple)

Thank you for the kind words!  I think for Patreon, adult games are not "searchable" a certain way but I'm not sure.  Adult games usually need to be a Google search like Patreon/game name but not in Patreon I think...

And yes, Zoey Raven is basically the most awesome person with support for games and not to mention a game dev as well! People should check out that link for sure!

And being blunt, please don't strain your own finances for my (or any other dev's) game, real life should always take precedence.  I've in fact paused Patron billing for a month myself about I think three times when I felt I wasn't working quickly enough (my sense of honor about valuing what people pay for, etc.) and I am sensitive to financial reality for all people.  I have a very good full-time business (which is why in a bad way I can't work full-time on the game at warp speed) and other side income, so I am not dying to eat from this game or anything, so kind words are just as great to me!  Thank you!

Oh my goodness, this looks so helpful!  I am not an Android (or even a tech person really) user, so a huge thank you as this will help people!

According to the person who helped me make this port, it has to be done this way due to the size/file restrictions.  I have zero tech background so I don't really understand file management and use other people for this task. 

Just msg me for a refund, more than happy to do it if you are having trouble.  I also can see how many downloads worked prior over the last year for these same exact files with only one complaint - indicating it's not a widespread metric/issue - and I've just confirmed with about five people before responding with the same files that they had no problems, so I'm not sure what's unique to your situation.  Just post/send me your purchase e-mail/username and I'll try to remedy/refund.

Just swinging by to say your art looks so amazing so I'll have to try it now!  I have no doubt you'll keep growing this game to greater heights :)

ok great, glad you got it thhanks!

Hi which version do you need, I think they all work ok?  (I tested the links last week but will try again)  You can also contact me on Discord on my server directly as well.

Hi which version did you download?  If PC, the files are in the 7z format, which is a zip file format from 7zip, which I think can be found at 7-zip.org and can be unzipped with that program.

Can you contact me on Discord if possible, and which version/file did you download?  I just tested each file again and they work here, so not sure what is happening.

Thank you so much for the kind words!  My main goal with the game was to try and let have players have fun making choices and feeling like they have some real agency in what happens (15 endings when the game is over, although honestly 15 endings aren't totally 15 unique ones, but closer to 5-6 with some variations with romance/outcomes with other characters too.) in the story.  It's a LOT of work to do both dom and sub variations, but I wanted that kind of story with different outcomes.  

I am glad you had a lot of fun :)

You can try and backup file too as another option (make sure Android) but if you have further trouble, please go on my Discord, there is an Android expert that helps out on there and you can write me directly there.  (just ask anyone on server how to contact me and/or ask for Android help)

Hi there if you can get on Discord there is a phone expert can help but it has to be Android smartphone, game does not work iPhone

Hi all!

Please be nice on here, she is laughing her ass off about this, but it's more work for me to have to moderate so much.  :(

If anyone has real questions, u can write me at Mistress Anais on our discord, thank you :)

You can write me (My name is Anais I am managing the page right now) or Mistress Tess directly on Discord or Patreon if you are having trouble.  I'm not sure why you would be having trouble unless you used outside mods beforehand.  Using a mod and then saving with it enabled can cause compatibility issues with the next update.  But each update was tested quite a bit to work with clean versions of prior saves/updates and they worked?    

Hard to say exactly, but I would say roughly a bit more than halfway.

Hi you need a program called 7Zip, it's a type of zip file that can be unzipped to the normal files.  Please write me directly on my Discord if you have major problems, thank you!

Ah, you may have to wait for that answer because it's a spoiler :)

And do you mean at temple or at boat?

But I think I leave clues in game.
