Quantic Dream is known for producing games that prioritize narrative and offer immersive experiences. After Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain and BEYOND: Two Souls, the French developer added the excellent Detroit: Become Human to its portfolio. Like the other titles, Detroit also provides a unique immersion, where the player's decisions can change the course of events. The story takes place in 2036 in a futuristic version of Detroit in the United States. The city was restructured due to the invention of androids, which are now used by humans in their daily lives. However, some androids begin to manifest human emotions, and this causes things to start to get out of humans' control. The narrative has three different arcs, where we control Kara, Markus and Connor, three androids designed by the fictional company CyberLife and with different perspectives on their own existence. Detroit: Become Human was released in 2018 for PS4 and 2019 for PC. It received favorable reviews, especially for its settings, visuals, main characters, voice actors and the impact of choices on the story. However, the main complaints were about the movement controls, blunders regarding story data and themes addressed, as well as aspects of the plot and characters. The title was a sales success, being Quantic Dream's biggest release to date. The game surpassed one million copies in two weeks and by July 2021, six million units had already been sold.
