The Curious Case of Alice's Mom (or Lack Thereof) in Detroit: Become Human
Ah, Detroit: Become Human. A game that will have you questioning the very nature of sentience, shedding tears over noodle soups, and maybe even yelling at a glorified Roomba for being a jerk (looking at you, Connor). But one of the biggest head-scratchers for players is the whole "Alice's Mom" situation. Buckle up, fellow android enthusiasts, because we're diving down the rabbit hole of this narrative twist.

MIA: The Missing Mommy
Throughout Kara's journey, you meet the adorable Alice, a little girl clearly neglected and abused by her jerk of a dad, Todd. Kara, our not-so-average android nanny, becomes a fierce protector, determined to get Alice to safety. They face all sorts of challenges, from dodgeball-throwing android children (seriously, what's in the water at that camp?) to border security that makes the TSA look like a picnic. All the while, you keep wondering about Alice's mom. Is she out there? Did Todd scare her off? Did she tragically become sentient and elope with the toaster? The suspense is killing us (well, almost)!
The Big Reveal: Plot Twist, Yo!
Then, BAM! Around the halfway point, the game throws a curveball that would make a Major League pitcher jealous. Turns out, Alice never had a human mom. She's an android herself, another victim of Todd's twisted ways. Mind. Blown. This revelation throws a whole new light on Kara and Alice's relationship. Was it a maternal bond, or more like a slightly-creepy-but-ultimately-heartwarming sisterhood formed in the fires of shared trauma? You decide!
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
Why the Twist, Though?
This twist has sparked debates hotter than a malfunctioning oven. Some players felt cheated, robbed of the emotional payoff of a human-android bond. Others saw it as a powerful commentary on how anyone, regardless of origin, can form deep connections. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide if the android-reveal strengthened or weakened the story.
Here's the thing, though: Even if Alice wasn't human, she still needed saving. Kara, bless her artificial heart, stepped up and became the guardian Alice desperately needed. So, maybe it doesn't matter if they're flesh and blood or circuits and wires. What matters is the love and loyalty they share.
