There’s something almost magical in the air on Saturday mornings. The world feels fresher, the sun brighter and the people happier. Perhaps it’s a hang up from the days of our youth when the industrious weekend was the time our dreams would come true. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a snapshot of the intangible magic and the tragedy that so easily hides behind it.

While Captain Spirit is more of a minisode teaser for season two of Life is Strange, there some immediate differences. The most noticeable of which is the central character. Chris is the first male protagonist in the Life is Strange series, which has up until this point focused on the strange lives of young women. DONTNOD has received a lot of praise for its portrayal of its central characters in the past, and I was slightly worried that the new dynamic won’t feel as honest. Despite this, Chris is a superbly well-made character and immediately relatable. While this won’t be true for everybody, Captain Spirit spoke to me on a deeply personal level, and it was an extraordinarily emotional experience. If you have lonely memories of childhood and an overactive imagination, this game will speak to you in a language known all too well.
