Detroit Become Human is an action-adventure game played from a third-person view, which is subject to a set and controllable perspective. There are multiple playable characters in the game who can die as the story continues without them; as a result, there is no “game over” message following a character’s death. The story will branch out depending on which choices are made. The player will be able to rewind to certain points in the story to reshape decisions in the event of regret. On occasion, the more information one collects within an allotted time,[10] the greater the chance of success will be in deciding a course of action. Obtaining clues allows the player to reconstruct and replay the events that occurred, or avail them of set procedures like patrol routes; this can be done by highlighting and analysing the environment with augmented vision.

Travel to the near-future metropolis of Detroit – a city rejuvenated by an exciting technological development: androids. Witness your brave new world turn to chaos as you take on the role of Kara, a female android trying to find her own place in a turbulent social landscape.
