The Industry Giant Loses Its Grip on Control
Detroit: Become Human, the well-received, narrative-focused sci-fi thriller is now 70% off on Steam for a limited time. Quantic Dream's adventure title was released in 2018 as a showcase for the PlayStation's interactive storytelling capabilities. If you enjoyed Beyond: Two Souls or Heavy Rain, this will be right up your alley.
- As gamers, we've grown accustomed to being actively engaged participants in our favorite stories, but Detroit: Become Human predates the modern control scheme that allows us to make meaningful choices in a narrative-driven game.
- Will the influence of games like Detroit: Become Human and Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered contribute to a shift in how developers approach player choice and agency in their narratives?
