It made the experience more depressing. Blimey, that is saying something.

In captain spirit, did anyone else find themselves changing their behaviour choosing safe conversation options or doing housework to try and not make the Dad angry? It was only when it was finished and I was reflecting on it I realised I was doing it.

It was only when it was finished and I was reflecting on it I realised I was doing it. Yes, but not to keep the dad from getting angry, but because I realized they really are in a sh*tty place in life and wanted to do what I could to make things a little easier for him.

It was only when it was finished and I was reflecting on it I realised I was doing it. God yes! I did not, for example, shoot dad with the nerf gun All through the game, I was wondering, How are people who experienced abusive parents/adults as children IRL going to react to this? Game needs a huge trigger warning at the start. And what about the ending "choice?" I mean, what's the best option? They all kind of suck, one way or the other. The game seems to bias a bit towards the neighbor intervening to save Chris -- which you avoid by doing chores, lying, and not blowing up Snowmancer -- which seem contradictory and not entirely consistent with Chris's character of make believe escape, but is that the best option? I mean, Dad is a fucktard drunk abuser that needs the shit beat out of him, but is Chris getting hauled away by CPS and put in a foster home really in his best interest in the long run?

Do you mean that there's an alternative cutscene in the ending? Can you link a video with that?
Edit: Just did a speedrun to test it and there's indeed a change in the dialogue. However: You can't take the beers outside either, and you have to complete the costume so the neighbor doesn't comment on the bruises[/spoilers]

Yes I didn't use the nerf gun either, I had no way of knowing how he would react.
I do like the way the baddie is a compound of the street names.

October 28, 2016, is 3 years after LiS 1. In the same month of October. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit take place in December of 2016, near Christmas. The significant event mentioned in Captain Spirit happened in December of 2014. A "10-10" in progress could mean a fight, an officer going off duty, or "negative". Ten codes

Fight in progress. Going off duty doesn't make any sense, since it's "In progress" and same goes for "Negative"
One way or the other, they're kinda losing me here. None of Max's subtlety.

Yeah interesting that they are using paranormal powers for continuity, instead of characters. As I posted earlier, they should have rebranded and called the new game Oregon is Strange. LiS will forever be the Max & Chloe show for me.

I liked the first one, especially the art direction. I thought it marked a really bold and innovative way forward with the genre. Happy I played it. But I really hope they get better dialogue writing, voice direction and acting in the sequel, because that stuff was like nails on a chalkboard in the first game!

TO be fair, the writing did get better from episode to episode. I think they took feedback to heart.

*starts presuming that there's a thing where "little brother" very nearly dies because of something supernatural*
At this rate, I might even spoil myself. Not like I feel much need to play the game myself. Max and Chloe came during a very specific time of my life, admittedly a weaker one. Helped me get back, but I don't know if I can ever replay even their story. Without a crisis, the stories are nowhere near as on the spot as they were back then.
