Detroit: Become Human gameplay & story: What is Detroit about?

Detroit: Become Human is a sci-fi game that centres around an android with artificial consciousness and human emotions named Kara, who escapes from the factory she was made in. She finds herself in Detroit, USA, where androids are not uncommon but have been made without consciousness, so are simply used as tools to improve the lives of humans.

Quantic Dream founder and CEO David Cage has said: "It's very, very exciting; something different from Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain. Building on the same grounds but in a very, very different way."

Cage says he's aiming for a game that's "moving and meaningful, exploring themes that are meaningful in our world."

After Kara, Connor is the second playable character which has been introduced. As the blog post says "Connor is an advanced prototype assigned to police forces to help them investigate cases involving deviants. He is cold and analytical; he thinks fast and benefits from some surprising advanced features. He is very determined and nothing matters more to him than accomplishing the mission he was programmed for."

In the trailer at the top, Connor has to deal with a hostage situation. The point is that the outcome depends on your decisions and strategy as a player: the girl will either survive or die.

Detroit: Become Human is based on Quantic Dream's 2012 PS3 tech demo called Kara, which was not originally made with the intention of becoming a game. Fact.
