Died Trying? Don't Worry, You Can Become Human Again (By Restarting Chapters in Detroit: Become Human)
So you just got Markus yeeted off a rooftop by a rogue helicopter, or maybe Kara got turned into spare parts by that creepy android hunter. Feeling a tinge of regret about that last QTE (Quick Time Event)? Fear not, fellow android sympathizer (or Connor convert, no judgement here), because Detroit: Become Human offers a sweet, sweet restart option!

Because Who Needs Consequences, Right? (Well, Kind Of)
That's right, you can jump back into any chapter and rewrite your destiny (or at least that specific part of it). This is fantastic news for those of us who crave narrative perfection (or just can't resist the allure of multiple playthroughs). However, there's a tiny catch (there's always a catch, isn't there?). The game remembers your overall story choices, so if Markus went full robo-revolution in Chapter 10, restarting Chapter 3 won't magically turn him into a pacifist. Think of it like this: you're rewinding a movie, but the ending credits are already spoiled.
But hey, that doesn't mean you can't influence the future (or at least this specific chapter's future)! You can still explore different dialogue options, try out a stealthy approach instead of a guns-blazing one, or maybe finally save that adorable dog in that one scene (you know the one, we all cried).
So How Do I Become Restarting-Pro?
Here's the lowdown on getting your chapter-replaying fix:
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
- Pause the game. This might seem obvious, but hey, in the heat of the moment (or after accidentally yeeting yourself off a building), you might forget.
- Navigate to the Chapter Select menu. This is usually found under "Extras" or something similar.
- Pick your poison (er, I mean, chapter). Bop that chapter you want to redo and get ready to rewrite your android destiny!
Bonus Tip: If you're aiming for a specific achievement or trophy, make sure you double-check the requirements. Some might be trickier to get if you keep jumping back and forth.
