The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit 1.0

Life is Strange was one of the more promising choice games released a few years back. The episodic series featured a lovable cast and an interesting time travel storyline. While it had a controversial ending, people still looked forward to the next installment from the studio. While they were working on their second game, they released a teaser of sorts in the form of The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit.

This game is wonderfully charming. The whole premise is a child takes on an imaginary alter ego to cope with the death of his mother. The father-son dynamic is at the emotional center of the story. His father is sad and miserable and vents at his son, but loves him deep down. It sounds like a cliche setup because...well, it kind of is, but it has enough charm that you can look past it. 

The gameplay is rather simple and familiar if you've played Life is Strange or The Walking Dead...or hell, any of Telltale's games. You explore your environment and interact with objects, choose what to say in conversations, and have the occasional minigame. In terms of gameplay, there's nothing to write home about. This game is also incredibly short, and you can finish it in little more than 2 hours if you want.

Overall, though, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is plenty charming enough to stand on its own despite its length.
