Detroit: Become Human | PlayStation 4 | PS4

About the Game

What does it mean to be human? In this tale set in 2038 Detroit, players take control of three different androids and takes them on a journey to discover what becoming human is all about. Each of the protagonists has its own story and consequences that come with choices selected and actions made by players. The game opens with Connor, an android sent by the Cyberlife corporation to deal with deviants.

Story & Setting

Aside from actions which affected the branching story, being aware of your surroundings, finding out things and noticing objects and their whereabouts will unlock additional dialogue options and possibilities. A little freedom in looking around is given, but not much and more often you won't be able to see the exact spot you wish to examine in more detail as even 1st-person perspective is tied to only a handful of areas in each chapter. Each of the game protagonists can be killed, some even early in the game, which removes all future chapters pertaining to the character in question. Points are awarded by unlocking paths in each chapter, which can then be used to unlock bonuses such as a 3D character gallery, making-of artwork, soundtrack, and interview videos.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Choices players makes will not only affect a single scene or specific character, but also the overall opinion of people around the world. The butterfly effect is shown as a tree structure showing players all possible paths and outcomes, but unlocking only those they reached during gameplay. As in previous Quantic Dream titles, the camera doesn't constantly follow players and instead tries to create a cinematic feel by being able to switch between preset cameras on each and every scene.
