Karlsson's Gambit

Karlsson's Gambit is a visual novel in which players are invited to make difficult choices and take part in a strange experiment in exchange for freedom.

Plot

The protagonist, a tall, long-haired young man, gets himself into big trouble. He happens to be involved in a street fight in which he is badly beaten. Another person in the fight is killed, and since the police were only able to catch you, you are the one who has to suffer the punishment. The court sentences you to five years' imprisonment, although you are not guilty at all.

But suddenly a beautiful woman named Alexandra Carlson comes into the cell. She is the head of a profitable company, The Karlsson Group. She invites you to take part in an experiment in human psychology and walk out free in six months. The offer is tempting, but there is clearly something terrible behind it...
