** [[spoiler:Sean and Daniel's rather nonchalant reaction to Chris levitating during the ending seems rather [[JustForPun strange]], leading many to believe that they might've had something to do with it, and that the power of ''Life Is Strange 2'''s protagonist will be telekinesis. Indeed, Daniel is in possession of telekinesis, and saved Chris from his fall.]]

** Chris can get a call from the Universal Uprising Church and a representative, Derek. [[spoiler:This is the "religious community" of which Jacob mentions he's from in Episode 3, and also where he takes Daniel in the next episode. Sean can speak to Derek in-person during said episode]].

* MotherhoodIsSuperior: From what the audience can gather, Emiy was a great mother to Chris. After her death, it is evident that Charles' parenting is [[AbusiveParents less than stellar.]]

** Hawt Dawg man also makes an appearance, in his very own mobile game and comic book.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: Charles not only drinks a beer for breakfast, he also drinks his way through a bottle of whisky shortly afterwards. Given the number of beer cans littering the apartment, it's a regular occurrence.

* AbusiveParents: Charles neglects Chris, uses profanity that a nine-year-old should not know in front of him, and berates Chris for not being manly enough. It's strongly implied that Charles has been physically abusive to Chris and that he broke Chris's arm in the past. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, he blames Chris for the death of Emily, making him run off to his tree house.]] To Charles' credit, it is shown that he tries to be a better parent, but being alcoholic clearly doesn't help.

* GuideDangIt: Unlocking the father's cell phone to play the game on it. Most players assume that the PIN is [[ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish something obvious]] like Chris's birthday, but you actually need to [[spoiler: convert the word "Hawt dawg", shown on a comic book in the bathroom, into phone numbers (ABC = 2, DEF = 3, etc.), which is 42983294]]. There's no clear indication that this would be the solution, especially since the PIN area allows you to type up to 11 digits. This is compounded by the fact that the game's other "crack the password" puzzle (opening the locker in the garage) has a much more straightforward and typical video game solution, so many players naturally assumed the cell phone puzzle would be similar.

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[Videogame/LifeIsStrange2 The Diaz brothers]] show up at the very end of the game. Most notably, this was before they were even officially announced as the protagonists of ''Life Is Strange 2''.

* EarlyBirdCameo: [[Videogame/LifeIsStrange2 The Diaz siblings]] show up at the very end of the game. Most notably, this was before they were even officially announced as the protagonists of ''Life Is Strange 2''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: ''Everywhere.'' Dontnod has stated that this demo has many hints towards ''Life Is Strange 2'''s plot if you know where to look.

** It's clear for the most part that everything out of the ordinary that happens is due to Chris's imagination. However, the ending [[spoiler: where Chris falls off the treehouse, only to start to float before he hits the ground]] is left a little bit more unclear. Was this also in his head, or [[spoiler: does Chris actually have special powers similar to Max from [[VideoGame/LifeIsStrange the previous game?]]]] Given the nature of this game series, it's very likely the latter. It's revealed in ''Life is Strange 2'' that [[spoiler:it was actually Daniel Diaz, the neighbor kid, who has the powers and saved Chris]].

Chris Eriksen is an imaginative nine-year-old boy who lives alone with his father Charles. On a cold winter Saturday morning, Chris dons the cape of Captain Spirit, his superhero alter-ego, and goes on a quest to defeat the evil Mantroid while avoiding the wrath of his drunk father.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:A newspaper in Chris' living room mentions an incident where a civilian and police officer were killed in Seattle]], a direct reference to the inciting incident of the then-upcoming ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2''.

* GuideDangIt: Unlocking dad's cell phone to play the game on it. [[spoiler:You need to convert the word "Hawt dawg", shown on a comic book in the bathroom, into phone numbers (ABC = 2, DEF = 3, etc.)]][[spoiler:This converts to 42983294]]. There's no clear indication that this would be the solution, especially since the PIN area allows you to type up to 11 digits.

* {{Prequel}}: Of sorts, to ''Life Is Strange 2''.

''The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit'' is a 2018 free-to-play adventure game developed by Creator/DONTNODEntertainment and published by Creator/SquareEnix. It is set in the ''Videogame/LifeIsStrange'' universe and serves as a sort-of introduction to ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2'', though to what extent exactly is unknown.

* AbusiveParents: Charles neglects Chris, uses profanity that a nine-year-old should not know in front of him, and berates Chris for not being manly enough. It's strongly implied that Charles has been physically abusive to Chris and that he broke Chris's arm in the past. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, he blames Chris for the death of Emily, making him run off to his tree house.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: At the end, it's not made clear whether [[spoiler: Chris has his own superpowers or if the Diaz siblings saved him with theirs]]. The sequel confirms it to be [[spoiler: the latter]].
