The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit

Growing up as a neurodivergent kid, full of imagination, hopes, and dreams, in a dysfunctional family where no one truly hears, sees, or cares enough for you made this game quite hard to play in retrospect.

Despite being a quote and quote prologue for Life is Strange 2 this game works perfectly on its own. Therefore, don't worry about wanting to play it even if you don't feel playing LiS 2 inmidietly after.

Having said all this, the story encapsulates perfectly the wonders and innocense of childhood while talking about more serious topics like: trauma, domestic violence, grief and others in the timespawn of only 2h. Proving you don't alaways need a 60h+ game to tell a meaningful and captivating tale.

Definetly recommended if you are looking for a short yet deep graphic adventure.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is an emotional ride! You play as Chris, a super imaginative kid who dreams of being a superhero. The game lets you explore his world, full of cool adventures and touching moments.
The graphics are stunning, bringing Chris's imagination to life. The story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, making you feel all the feels. It’s a short but impactful experience. If you love emotional stories and epic adventures, you’ve got to play this game!

Looking back, this was the first piece of media that made me realize I wanted to be a mother. That sounds super dramatic, but I just fell in love with Chris (the main character) and I want to do anything and everything to protect him from his POS dad. It's short and very memorable. I had tears. Spoilers for LIS2 but I really wish Chris was the one with powers. He deserves the world.

If you're interested in playing Life is Strange 2, this is a really nice side story that ties into that game. And it's free so no reason not to try it.

It has a short story and a brief connection to the second game in the series. It allows us to re-experience the games we played with toys in our childhood. It's nice that it's free. Although the story isn't very interesting, there's no need to expect much since it's free.
Point: 6/10
