Story and Setting
As the title suggests, Detroit: Become Human is set in a neo-noir version of Detroit, and the events of the game take place in the not-so-distant future. In this version of Detroit, humans are largely reliant on the service of androids, who take on jobs like gardeners, babysitters, teachers, and clerks. The androids look almost exactly like human beings, but they are subservient, and they are meant to serve the humans and listen to their orders.
The game kicks off when an unexplained incident occurs, causing some androids to behave strangely. Some of them have begun to disappear, some start showing signs of emotion, and they’re overall acting very oddly. No one knows the nature of this incident, or who or what has caused it. That’s probably going to the big mystery of the game that unfolds as we play through it.
