Square Enix and Dontnod Entertainment revealed the surprising next entry in the Life Is Strange franchise during E3: not Life Is Strange 2, but a spinoff set in the same universe. Out June 26, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is not a proper Life Is Strange game, Square Enix insists; instead, the free download stars a young boy in a vastly different story than Life Is Strange’s typical, teen girl-driven drama.

But after watching a hands-off demo during the event, I came away finding that Captain Spirit and Life Is Strange have more in common than I’d expect. Yes, Dontnod promised that data from the game would transfer over to Life Is Strange 2, whenever it arrives; there will be clear connections between the two titles. But the story of 9-year-old, wildly imaginative Chris — who finds solace from his real life in a superhero fantasy — shows other glimmers of the same elements that made Life Is Strange so novel.
