So You Wanna Be a Detroit: Become Human Speed Demon? Hold Your Horses (or Androids)
Let's face it, we've all been there. You're neck-deep in a playthrough of Detroit: Become Human, loving the branching narrative, the emotional gut punches (looking at you, Markus!), but then... disaster strikes! You accidentally made a choice that banished your favorite android to the recycling center, or maybe you just REALLY want to see that different scene everyone's been raving about. The question burns in your mind: Can you skip chapters in Detroit: Become Human?
The Short, Sweet, and Slightly Disappointing Answer:
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Nope. Buckle up, buttercup, because you're in for the full ride. Detroit: Become Human doesn't offer a nifty "warp to Chapter X" function.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Really, Who Wants Short and Disappointing Answers?)
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Here's the thing: while you can't jump around like a cybernetic pogo stick, there are ways to make replaying chapters a little less painful. Here are some tips from a seasoned Connor investigator (read: I've seen way too many "hostage situation gone wrong" endings):
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.

- Multiple Save Slots Are Your Friend: Think of them like those fancy protein bars for androids – a quick energy boost to get you back on track. Scatter your progress across different slots, that way if you make a dire decision in Chapter 3, you can hop back to an earlier save in Chapter 1 without having to relive everything.
- Chapter Select After You Finish: Once you've completed the game (and hopefully achieved an ending that doesn't involve a rain of tears), Detroit: Become Human unlocks chapter select. This lets you revisit specific scenes to see different choices play out, snag those elusive collectibles, or just because you miss Chloe (we all do, buddy, we all do).
