The Mason Gambit
About The Mason Gambit
The Mason Gambit is a Ren'Py kinetic novel by CorForce Productions, rendered in 3D CG. You play Captain Mason, who leaves the Afghan desert after five years to return to family following tragic news. He has been missing and presumed dead for three years, while a strange virus threatens the city. Mason joins a multinational covert group to uncover the threat. The story emphasizes slow-burn romance, with adult material absent from the first two chapters.
Development is ongoing, and Chapter 10 is the current build, released October 7, 2023. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, without censorship. The latest changelog says Chapter 10 adds 17,696 words of dialogue, 570 new renders, and one new animation. Because of restructuring, old saves created immediately after a scene ends may fail; ones made at the beginning or within a scene should load.
Developer's description
Captain Mason has just received tragic news and must return home to his family after five years in the Afghan desert. Two problems; one, he was missing and presumed dead three years ago; and two a strange and potentially population-ending virus has hit the city. Now, he must join forces with a mysterious multi-national covert organization to discover the secret behind this threat. Notice: The romances will be a slow burn. Don't expect any adult content for the first two chapters. Cheers. - CF
