Detroit: Become Human review – meticulous multiverse of interactive fiction

With a gargantuan 4,000-page script, it is a near-miracle that Detroit: Become Human manages to tell a single coherent story at all. Gradual, ever-developing and interwoven tales lead towards a myriad of endings.

Indeed, the way that the story bends and morphs around the player is much more interesting than the story itself. Decisions have weight: do you pursue a rogue android across a busy highway, or let it escape?
