Branching narrative in a visual novel:
Before I opine on this:
Just became a Patreon of Super Alex after a single play of this game. It's excellent, particularly the "Free Roam" sections, which are brilliantly done.
The first thing I do with Ren'py games is unrpa, unrpyc them and then fix them! I sorted out the incest properly (including all the places where "friend's son" occurred etc in the text), and fixed the capitalisation ("mother" is now "Mom" or "mom" correctly throughout, -- nobody calls their mother "Mother" except Bates in "Psycho" I did that by repracing the "mother" var with a function that can vary based on the context that the word is being used).
I play pretty much exclusively femdom games, and despite the MC's pretty dominant behaviour, the few femdom aspects of the game were so good that I enjoyed it a lot.
So: BRANCHING NARRATIVE: There's very little of this in this game -- the DOMINANCE flag is basically unused. That's a shame, because I'd like to be able to steer the MC into submission (like in Karlsson's Gambit or Boring Days, for example).
The MC doesn't really have much character transformation, you're basically just solving puzzles and unlocking scenes (amazingly hot scenes). So, althougheven though there's a risk of combinatorial explosion, I think making a dom and sub path for the game would have improved it a lot for me. I'd actually prefer it if scenes were determined more by the DOMINANCE flag.

You can just tweak the standard into extra, but this does not give the files needed to see the scene
of course you have here
https://f95zone.to/threads/amnesia-v0-97b-extended-super-alex.44511/post-13199493
one or two pages later you have the compressed version
I have the steam version, i.e. the standard version, and as soon as the extra version is released, I download the extended version and only take the bonus.rpa file from it. Always works

Interest ??? In that case, use directly the extended version, which is more rich than the Steam version...
It's already being 4 years yet this game has nothing to offer with the main character's

Except the awesome night scene with Kate, best interaction I have ever seen in any game/VN.
what?! kate is very boring . alexandra is a hot milf and the dev must focus next update on her

Each one to his own I guess. Milfs are ok (where I prefer the one from Photohunt, but Alex is among the top 10 in my book, maybe even top 5), but I root for Elena.
I was not talking about characters however, it was about the scene itself. The night scene with Kate is exceptional. I played quite a few of these games over the years and have not found anything like it.

Dev must focus on whatever he wants -- only way good games get done imo. I'm supporting him rt now, because I love the visuals, and the incest thing is sort of working for me (basically calling the game "Amnesia" is a way to make the incest slightly less icky).
But key to me is the immersiveness (or lack of it) of the story in a VN game. A good story is what really makes a VN based game hot. When I get a new renpy game I usually decomplie and hack the text ("fix" the text really). In Amnesia I fixed up the incest myself (I didn't use the patch). I read and write a lot of stories on Literotica, so a good story is the main thing I look for.
There's a hint when the MC first gets home that Alex is sort of doing some mind control thing on him, which never gets developed (which is a shame, it would have been great if there was some doubt about whether it was really his family or whether it was all some weird plot). As the game progesses, the "tasks" get more like a set of puzzles to unlock lewdness. The renpy variables in the game show that the dev intended some kind of dom/sub arc, but it never got used. So my hope for the game is that he fixes up the story more.
This game could go either way for me, depending on how the story develops. Two of the other VN games I'm suppporting, Karlsson's Gambit and How To Fix The Future, are also in danger of getting really exciting, or falling flat, for the same reason.

You should try Midnight Paradise if you liked the free roam so much here. It's like this but 100x better IMHO

Apologies, that was a brain fart -- it was Asmodeus who's stopping dev, who made the game Neuveu [sic]. You're right, Super Alex is still active
