Hitting the Ground Running: A Guide to Sprinting (or Strolling) in Detroit: Become Human
So you wanna get outta Dodge... I mean, Detroit... in style? You've booted up Detroit: Become Human, ready to navigate a world on the brink of android revolution, and all you can think about is putting on your best Sonic the Hedgehog impression? Well, hold your horses (or synthetic components, as the case may be) because running in this game isn't exactly a button mashing extravaganza.

When Legs Don't Fly (But Buses Do)
Detroit: Become Human is a narrative-driven experience, and that means the focus is on choices and consequences, not exactly parkour. There's no dedicated "run" button, and frankly, most of the time you'll be guiding your characters through conversations, investigations, and quick-time events (those button-mashing moments you crave!).
However, there are a few glorious instances where you get to witness some footwork. Here's the lowdown:
- Highway Chase: This is probably the most prominent running sequence. During Kara's escape with Alice, you'll get a white-knuckled dash across a busy freeway. Here, the game takes over, playing out a cinematic chase scene. Enjoy the ride (or the near-death experience)!
- Optional Sneaking: In some chapters, you can opt for a stealthy approach. Kara and Markus can tiptoe past dangers, and while it's not exactly a sprint, it is a way to move with a bit more urgency.
When You Gotta Get Outta There (But Slowly)
Listen, even androids gotta take it slow sometimes. Here's how to navigate the world when urgency isn't quite the name of the game:
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
- The Regular Walk: This is your bread-and-butter movement. Use the left analog stick to guide your character around.
- The Leisurely Stroll: Feeling particularly laid-back? Hold down the L3 button (on Playstation) for a slightly faster walking pace.
Pro-Tip: While there's no official "run" button, some players have reported that rapidly tapping the X button (on Playstation) during walking sections can create the illusion of a hurried pace. It's not exactly Usain Bolt territory, but hey, gotta work with what you've got!
