Detroit: Become Human Story Explained

Detroit: Become Human is set in the city of Detroit during the year 2038. In it, the city has received an industry boom and has been revitalized by the rise in popularity of android workers. The city is a hub of sorts for the android industry, much in the same way Detroit was the centre of the American automobile industry in the decade following World War II.

Players control three separate androids throughout the game; Kara, Connor and Markus. Each has a different role in the world, with Connor being a crime-scene investigator, Kara a domestic servant, and Markus a prototype model who jump-starts an android revolution.

The game tasks players with making a series of important choices while playing, which in-turn affects their gameplay experience. Much like other Quantic Dream games, there are multiple endings to play through, and the possibility that any of the three characters can die during the game’s campaign.

One of the missions from the game sees Connor investigating a crime scene, in order to conduct a hostage negotiation with a deviant android named Daniel. This sequence can be played as part of the Detroit: Become Human demo, and features multiple endings in itself. Players first comb through a crime scene, piecing together information which may help them during the negotiation. The rogue android can be confronted at any time, though chances of success increase with the more information gleaned from investigating the environment first.

Each character gets their own set of missions, much like Connor with the hostage level. Detroit:Become Human will have a ton of replay value after you’ve beaten the game once, given how many branching paths and multiple endings there are.
