Understanding the World of Detroit: Become Human
Before we jump into the specifics, let's set the stage. Detroit: Become Human is a narrative-driven adventure game set in a near-future Detroit, where androids have become commonplace. They serve humans in various roles, from domestic help to entertainment to labor. However, these androids are starting to "deviate", meaning they're developing emotions, self-awareness, and the desire for freedom. The game lets you play as three distinct android characters: Connor, Kara, and Markus, each with their own unique storylines and intertwined fates. Connor is a prototype android sent by CyberLife to investigate deviant androids and assist the Detroit Police Department. Kara is a domestic android who escapes her abusive owner to protect a young girl named Alice. Markus is a caretaker android who becomes the leader of the android revolution.
The game is all about making choices. Every decision you make, no matter how small, can have massive repercussions, impacting character relationships, story progression, and ultimately, the game's multiple endings. The beauty of Detroit: Become Human lies in its branching narrative, offering a high degree of replayability as you explore different paths and witness various outcomes. Understanding the core themes of the game – artificial intelligence, free will, prejudice, and the meaning of life – will enhance your experience. Consider your choices carefully. Will you be a rebel? Will you be a follower? Or will you be a lone wolf? The choice is always yours and the future of Androids.
Think about the characters. Each character's path intertwines with the others, making choices more important. How you help them and deal with the other characters has a big effect on all of the characters' futures. Some actions, like Connor not completing his mission, or Markus choosing to be violent, will influence how other characters will respond to the changing world. This is not a game you play once and are done with. This is a game you play again and again and still feel surprised when you make a different choice! So get ready to change your mind!
Connor's Path: The Android Hunter
Alright, let's begin with Connor, the android sent to hunt down deviants. Connor's storyline is arguably the most dynamic, as he can choose to either remain loyal to CyberLife and pursue his mission or embrace his own free will and become a deviant himself. This makes for a unique experience each time you play through it, as the choices have a drastic effect.
