David Cage is well known for going out of his way to ensure that his stories blur the line between video games and cinematic experience. Sometimes these work to great effect such as the case with Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, and sometimes that stumble like in Beyond: Two Souls. While the quality of each game can be debated, it can’t be denied that each project is ambitious and certainly delivers on the visual front.

Now, Cage and his studio Quantic Dream have returned with what looks to be their most bonkers game to date, where choice is literally everything!

According to an article on Polygon –

Detroit: Become Human will launch next spring, Sony announced today during its Paris Games Week 2017 press briefing. The company revealed the launch window for choose-your-own adventure game from French studio Quantic Dream alongside a lengthy gameplay trailer — which shows off one of the most intense family dinners we’ve seen in quite some time.

This gameplay footage stars the android Kara, who lives with a human family. While young Alice’s father Todd hurls insults and curse words and even dining tables at Alice, Kara is given the option to stand up for her young human companion … or stay true to her android nature.

The player controlling the scenario in this trailer decides to protect Alice, which is a nice, cathartic way to end this otherwise traumatic scene. It’s a little hard to watch, and the story ends on a cliffhanger — as director David Cage is known to do. We’ll see more of Kara and the rest of the androids’ stories when the PlayStation 4 exclusive Detroit: Become Human arrives next year.
