“Milk mission accomplished,” he says to a quizzical expression on his son’s face. Breakfast isn’t how mom used to make it, and dad’s attempts at role-play aren’t that great. Occasionally Captain Spirit crosses paths with dad, bringing Chris back to reality with a bump.
Through Chris, we explore the house and flit between various imaginary thresholds, from something as simple as using powers to turn on the TV (actually a remote behind his back), to defeating Snowmancer (a snowman) with the assistance of Sky Pirate (a teddy bear) on overwatch in the Flying Fortress (tree house). Captain Spirit is Chris’ alter ego, his toys are his allies, and domestic appliances become monsters from another realm. Chris transforms the family home into a world of adventure, placing himself at the center of an imaginary universe. Dad comes to terms with pain in his own way beer for breakfast, ball game on TV. Chris lost a caring mother, while dad lost his soul mate, to an accident not long ago. The Captain Spirit of the title is, in reality, 10-year-old Chris who lives with his dad in Beaver Creek, Oregon. Who is Captain Spirit? © DONTNOD Entertainment However, characters and events in Captain Spirit are not directly linked to Max Caulfield in Arcadia Bay, even though this short episode does take place not far away.
Available to download from June 24 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, this is our opportunity to step into the world of Life is Strange 2. The Life is Strange sequel is coming later this year, but beforehand DONTNOD is releasing this free-to-own prologue of sorts: The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. Life is Strange became more than a game – it is an important, very meaningful work of art.
As any fan will tell you, that simple perception is soon swept out to sea, and over time we are drowning in emotional upheaval. At first glance, DONTNOD’s 2015 masterpiece Life is Strange is a point-and-click adventure about some kooky college kids in the Pacific Northwest. Sometimes in our search for entertainment we encounter something that affects us very deeply: a scene in a movie, the line of a song, a simple painting, the use of just one color.
