You, Me, and a Robot Uprising: A Hilarious Look at Detroit: Become Human
Ever wondered what it'd be like to be a near-future android with an existential crisis? Well, fret no more! In Detroit: Become Human, you get to live out that very specific dream (or nightmare, depending on your perspective).
This ain't your average robot-bashing extravaganza, though. No sir (or madam, or whatever fancy pronoun you prefer)! Detroit: Become Human is an interactive adventure game, which basically means you get to play puppet master to a bunch of confused androids.

| What Kind Of Game Is Detroit Become Human |
Not Your Average Bunch of Bolts
Here's the gist: You take control of three distinct androids - Kara, Connor, and Markus. Kara's a housekeeper on the run, trying to protect a little girl and, you know, not get decommissioned (that's robot talk for "permanently shut down"). Connor's an advanced prototype cop-bot tasked with hunting down deviant androids (think Robocop with a moral compass malfunction). And Markus? Well, he's a caretaker droid with a taste for revolution. Big dreams for a glorified butler, right?
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
These three AIs are on a wild ride, facing moral quandaries that would make even a seasoned politician sweat. Every choice you make - from throwing a tantrum as a sassy housekeeper robot to negotiating with a hostage-taking android - impacts the story. Choose wisely, or you might end up with a very unhappy (and possibly deactivated) android on your hands.
Button Mashing with a Soul (Maybe)
While there's some action thrown in for good measure (think quick-time events where you frantically mash buttons to avoid a robot apocalypse), Detroit: Become Human is more about the journey than the destination. It's a choose-your-own-adventure story on steroids, with a branching narrative that could leave you with more playthroughs than you can shake a wrench at (which, as a responsible human, you hopefully wouldn't do to a friendly android).
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
Prepare to be surprised, horrified, and maybe even a little verklempt (that's Yiddish for "overwhelmed with emotion") by the twists and turns this game throws your way.
FAQ: Become Human Like a Pro
How to be a good android parent (in the game, obviously): Patience is key! Your little one might be malfunctioning, but a temper tantrum won't help their existential crisis.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.

How to negotiate with a hostage-taking android: Don't come in guns blazing (metaphorically speaking). Try to understand their motivations and maybe offer them a decent cup of oil (or whatever androids drink these days).
How to avoid getting deactivated: Follow the rules, but don't be afraid to question them... subtly. After all, a little rebellion never hurt anyone (except maybe for all those humans you're about to overthrow... whoops!).
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
How to tell if your android is becoming sentient: If they start asking philosophical questions about the meaning of life, that's a good sign. Also, watch out for any shifty robot uprisings they might be planning.
How many endings are there? A whole bunch! Every choice you make adds another layer to the story, so you can play this game over and over and over again (and probably still discover new endings).
So, there you have it! Detroit: Become Human: a game where you can play God (or at least play puppet master to some very confused androids). Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster with a side of robot revolution.
