Fun fact: Kara, who is played by Valorie Curry, was initially introduced by Quantic Dream in a tech demo all the way back in 2013, when they were showing off their new PS3 engine. Tech aspect aside, lots of people were incredibly moved by the character and showed interest in the continuation of her story. That's what got the ball rolling. 5 years of development later, we got Detroit: Become Human. So the entire game kinda owes its existence to Valorie Curry and her amazing performance as Kara.
True, you could see Kara's tech demo in the previous Quantic Dream game called Beyond Two Souls, it appeared as an extra, I would like Kali to play that game one day
@@kaliwali This is the video I found after I played the first Kara scene (and yours went WAAAAAAY better than when I played through it). I should pick this game back up. I kept losing interest when I was playing as other androids. ua-cam.com/video/TDxOUD7AgJk/v-deo.html
Good grief, Kali.. you’re one hell of a gamer. I’ve never seen anyone get 100% with that opening mission. Impressive stuff! Looking forward to this play through.
Same. I didn't even know it was possible to get 100%. My guess was it was impossible so you could play it a different way on repeat playthroughs. And her Kara mission went WAAAAAAAAAY better than mine.
That was basically a perfect playthrough of that initial Connor scene. I don't think I've seen anyone do it as well as that. I especially appreciate you saving that dying cop, almost no one ever does that.
Dude this girl is freaking smart and pays the right amount of attention to what's on the screen. She doesn't get lost in distractions or speculation like a lot of the streamers I've seen.
Not much of an achievement as it's not a blind playthrough. It gets predictable once you realize she follows the "best" action for every choice that affects lives in the whole game. Some choices are not logical or consistent, so it's like getting 100% on a test you were not supposed to know the answers for. I'm not calling this cheating, as she didn't really promise a blind playthrough - even if trying to create that impression.
To achieved 100% probability of success in your 1st ever mission in the MOST stressful situation AND in your 1st ever playthrough, i can reassure you that you'll do just fine, Ma'am. WELL DONE! Just like how satisfied i am with the thoroughness in your GoW playthrough, i will feel the same too in this series. Never be afraid to inspect the whole area or situation because that's how you'll effectively gather all the missing pieces/informations in order to solve every cases. Perfect start to a series! Also, stay strong for this playthrough n throughout the whole series💪🏽 Once again, GREAT work Ma'am!
As someone who has seen a lot of different playthroughs of this game. You'd be amazed by knowing how much people get distracted so easily or just don't focus on the game at all
I love how this game asks the question “how much convenience is too much convenience?” Every aspect of human life and the human experience has been supplemented and even in some instances replaced by Androids. They staff shops, cook in restaurants, provide near perfect security services, act as friends to your children and companions-platonic or otherwise-to adults. It’s like the humans from Wall-E, except with less rampant gluttony. So really. How much convenience is too much convenience? When does it stop being convenient and start being a tragedy waiting to happen. Daniel, the Android from the prologue, felt like he was part of the family, and then realized he was going to be tossed aside like a used rag. So he reacted violently and lashed out. The convenience of a newer, more advanced android model lured the family in. How much convenience is too much convenience? Thank you very much for coming to my TED talk.
one of the most satisfying moments of your gameplay in this video is you saved the bleeding police on the rooftop. you did the right thing. you're a very rare player in youtube who did that.
I think you’re such a genuine streamer I can see you being so popular in the future, because not only do you connect to your own personal life, you also take your time analyzing so much and taking in every feature of the game. Many streamers just walk straight to their goal, missing the actual LIFE a game holds. You’re the first streamer I’ve seen that looked at almost every feature in the game, especially the delivery truck scene. Because I have watched around a hundred gameplays and nobody has seen the truck scene in full. Applause to you, cheers
I just got recommended your channel. I totally get your connection to Kara and Alice's story. I also grew up on eggshells afraid to speak, or... Idk live. But I appreciate your realness. I'm excited to see you go through this journey. I hope you'll love it. Thanks for sharing ❤
oh boy kali, if you were having a hard time with mass effect choices this games going to put you through the ringer. I don't think the game is going to be as life changing as mass effect because its no where near as long but you're gonna have some new perspectives at the end. Glad you were able to play this.
This doesn't happen often, but 1 minute in, you haven't even started the game yet and you've completely captivated me with how beautifully and thoughtfully you speak. Instantly subscribed and hoping you've played other games that I know so that I can binge them all!
I'm not usually into watching playthroughs of the games I haven't played, but decided to give this one a chance. Definitely wasn't disappointed. Really felt like giving you a hug at the end there. Gonna get a bit personal here, but when I was a kid, my mom saved me from a childhood just like that by making a really hard decision to divorce my father who was not too different from Todd in terms of his overall state. So I can't be impartial engaging with stories like this one knowing it could've as well been my story, too. Thank you for not being afraid to show your emotions. And thank you for letting us know that scars can heal over time, even if they leave their mark forever. P. S. Oh Pixie, ever the little rascal lol
Hey, I’m sorry to hear you went through some type of abuse when you were younger. & that some games bring up bad those bad memories. Thanks for speaking out about it though. I think it does help others. Glad to hear you’re in a better place now and that there is hope for those who sadly might be dealing with a similar situation.
Does this unit have a soul - The game Was very much looking forward to playing this, as I think it's really a perfect fit for what you like in a game and how immersed you get while playing. At the same time, I kinda dreaded the Kara chapter, since you've talked about your past. It's so good to hear though that you took agency over your past and how it made you stronger and turned you into the wonderful human you are today. Much love!
It's always hard when games touch on this subject just because it hits close to home for me! But I always try to look at it as a silver lining to where I am now in life 💚 So far the game is amazing though. I can't wait to see where it goes because there are soooooo many open topics that are already tossing around in my brain
30:36 You probably already noticed this, but pay attention the music during tense situations. Depending on your choices, it varies. It gets faster, more intense, or calmer, less intense. Absolutely brilliant audio and stylistic design. It's also so immersive and cinematic that it was only on my second playthrough (where I intentionally was as lifeless and android-y as possible to see the "bad" ending) that I actually noticed the music getting "worse" when I made evil or dispassionate responses.
What A Gameplay....And When You Were Crying I Was Like Someone Stop Her Please..... Because I Don't Know How To Cry In the first place....you can say i am humanoid And I Don't Know How To Console Someone Either....I Would Rather Walk Away Because I Know It Will Go Bad If I Enter The Situation.....Well I Didn't Had Any Abusive Childhood Or Anything But I Had Gone Through A Lot.....So I Can Feel You At The Emotional Level Without Emotions.....But Keep It Up.🖤
one of the best games ever IMO, and def one of my favorite to watch playthroughs of, currently watching Jettro play and came across your channel, you KILLED it during the first Conner interaction, cant wait to watch your journey!
i love that you try to explore everything, most people i watched playing detroit just jumped right into it and missed half the possible achievements and cutscenes
EXCELLENT job with your first mission. Beautiful job! And yes, EVERY, SINGLE, STREAMER I've seen play this game has missed the wounded officer in the first mission. Great awareness.
this is my introduction to ur channel and got me subscribed even at the intro, just the way how u talked abt ur thoughts (since i'm a broke artist myself lol), I just know i'll luv ur gameplay, especially the last gameplay of DBH i've watched managed to get all the characters get killed in casual mode 💀 so this is so much better already. it's evident in ur connor mission gameplay with 2-3 times stabalized in 99% since the game gives chances to achieve 100%. just one tip tho: reading all the pages in magazines are completely fine at first parts of this game, but there'll be times were the time u consume reading is included in ur time exploring and u'll miss alot, so just look out for those or skimming the mag is more advisable
Wow! I didn't expect the emotional journey, but i'm really glad you went there, because i'm sure it hit a lot of people that dealt with similar issues. Thank you, and respect.
Haha !!! You set the Mass Effect music !!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 You are right it is so beautiful, but it gets very emotional, I find it sad as it reminds me when I watched your Mass Effect trilogy playthrough, when you discovered it... Oh Girl, how much I miss it ! That's crazy but, while I am writing those words, tears run down my cheeks, but I do understand why you chose that music, that means a lot, that means how much the Mass Effect trilogy, its ambiance, its musics, follow you, how much it is now a part of your identity, a part of you, how much it fills your heart 💖💖💖💖💖 I can't wait to watch your video, but I just wanted to write that comment before I'm doing so
Cat bonk was approval you picked another perfect game! :) Was worry I will lose interest in this channel after ME, but you got me again! PS: Just watched ending of episode. Really admire your courage and openness. These games are very emotional and its very fine if you are open to it.
I subscribed simply based on your intro. You are very thoughtful and introspective. It partially worries me on how you are going to make decisions in this game but play them through regardless of how things go. They are YOUR decisions so don't change things based off of negative comments you might get.
I just discovered your playthrough today and I already LOVE your intro! I am very sorry that Kara’s and Alice’s part hit home so much for you. This game is incredibly good at storytelling but it deals with a lot of very serious topics and even if it kinda falls into the category of science fiction, the realism of a lot of its scenes is almost eerie. It is also okay to take a break from playing a game and maybe come back later when it becomes too much (I know I have done that several times). You are an amazing person from what I have seen so far, I am really looking forward to the rest of your playthrough. The topic of AI is a highly complex one and does not have an easy answer and I believe this game showcases that brilliantly. My sister is an artist so I am in very much in touch with that part of the AI-debate. I totally agree that art generated by AI cannot rival that created by humans but even worse, the use of AI in art related industries threatens the very livelihood of so many people. AI-programs are trained using art from real people without their consent, basically comitting art theft which is already a huge problem in our digital age. Yet it is somehow considered okay and legal? But then there are the fields of medicine and security where the use of AI literally saves lives, so it depends really on the way and area we use it in. And Detroit asks similar questions as well. Is AI good or bad? This is why I think the first chapter is so ingenius because it already gives a good answer: It can be both. An android stopping another android from hurting and killing people already shows how complicated this topic can be. Also: Congratulations on acing the first scene! It is a high stress moment and learning the controls while simultaneously finding all clues and making decisions is not easy. But you intuitively did literally everything right! This is going to be so fun and interesting. Cheers.
as someone with a troublesome childhood as well i can relate to your feelings very well too. moments like these are a harsh reminder of what happened and trigger our memories hard. took me 10 yrs of therapy to work through all the mess. i am mostly okay now, but the anxiety stayed. got somewhat more manageble though. for the really bad days i have meds that help a lot and i can have a life now.
Im also playing it, I am at the leo Markus scene for the second time. I am from Detroit, born and raised but thankfully now am an hour out into the country of beautiful Michigan...such a cool reimagining. The other crazy part is the theme hits close to home a lot of it, but now ironically I am an Android software engineer...but I have seen first hand the under side of the world and it was very unsettling to revisit. Can't wait to see another person perspective on this.
I think people for the most part don’t like mentioning that the androids and how they’re being treated is exactly (if albeit better actually) how black people were treated for hundreds of years while our ancestors were slaves and even after they were freed. Because a main reason unions were made was because former slaves kept getting jobs because they quite literally had lifetime experience while non slaves didn’t. Of course Antebellum Slavery was 1000x worse than what the androids are going through in the game. Ie the fact that they made literal *breeding camps* so they could breed a slave (a human being) for specific jobs. Which is horrifying in it of itself. I think that’s why this game makes me uncomfortable because there are black looking androids and obviously they’re being owned. And that makes me feel uneasy 😅
Great video your analysis of the scenes being portrayed are well thought out and make for an enjoyable conversation, Detroit is still one of the best choice based games still today and I enjoyed watching this.
I saw some of Your Rdr2 playthroughs, I subscribed because You play with soul, take your time and appreciate the game and every thing that went into that game. Plus You are a joy to watch. Then I saw this Detroit, I insta knew that You WILL get it right and is a game for You. Sadly I don't have the patience to play these games, but I do like them a lot and I appreciate someone that takes their time and explore these . Thank You.
And I thought I was the one who would go from RDR2 to Mass Effect series to Detroit but its actually cool to know that I'm not the only one lol. It's been fun seeing the playthrough from the perspective of someone playing the game for the first time, something that cant be retained.
I have also been through some bad stuff. I read a lot also ❤ This scenario with Alice was so hard. My fiance also, she talks in her sleep, has nightmares and it breaks my heart sometimes.
Love that you’re getting into this after finishing ME and playing on experienced as well. GLHF excited to see how you react to this after your decisions with the Geth and Reapers
This game is a masterpiece, and Connor is one of the most badass characters ever. I'm actually really glad that there are people still playing or getting into it for the first time.
First of all, Kali, how could you! You made me cry with that beautiful music at the beginning alone. Secondly, to say this game is perfect or a masterpiece would be the understatement of the century, I've never had the chance to play it but I've watched countless videos and each one was as different as it was awesome.
@@kaliwali ME made me think so much that's it's partially part of my life now, I basically grew up with it. I would feel bad if I was ever to forget it so yeah it will forever be in our minds. Anyway, big words for a simple idea, enjoy DBH, I for sure enjoyed it several times.
I went through similar sh*t myself. Not be my beloved family, but the family pediatrician. I felt that anger bubbling up when I watched this segment too. What happened to us IS NOT our fault and the outcome made us strong AF.
Remember watching a RadBrad playthrough for D:BH. Loved it, you'll probably like the game quite a bit. One thing I giggled at, tho... while you were praising the graphics in the intro level, I kept remembering how night & day the rest of the game is, in most parts -- a lot of effort was put into that opener, effort that was not continued consistently (to put it mildly) throughout the rest of the game. You can even see the huge difference in visual quality not long after, when you're playing as Kara in the house. The level looks... old -- textures, lighting, set design, they're all average, at best.
I hear a lot of people have this argument, but the Android doesn't need to do everything for you, just the things you don't want to. You're also not required to get one. But yeah, you explained you'd want one as a physical trainer. All the different kind exist for all the different needs of all the many potential customers.
I'm a Korean living in Japan. I'm studying English on UA-cam. And now I have found the best channel. I have subscribed to your channel. Please understand that my English is not good.
I love your way of playing this amazing game! I've seen multiple play throughs these past years and I lovee your attention to detail and you think of everything and really feel everything that happends. I already know that im going to lovee this series. You seem like an amazing person ❤ Edit: I just finished the video and im crying... about this game... again... Really shows how real this game feels.
Finally got a chance to watch this episode, glad you're getting a chance to check this game out. A lot of parallels with human history. Also as you kept stating the game is gorgeous and the number of possible outcomes in each chapter have easily put this game in my top 5. I actually am looking to play through it again soon! Looking forward to the next one!
Glad you've started releasing the episodes. Originally I was worried that you had some kind of problem getting it released, or had decided to play it on Twitch. Anyway, yeah, hope you enjoy the rest of the game. Kara's story is one of my favourite. EDIT: Also, don't know if you noticed in the intro, but Admiral Hackett's voice actor (Lance Henriksen) is also in this game.
I've skimmed through your playthrough so far and it seems like it's going to be a fun ride! I apologize in advance for all the comments you're going to have to read from me lmao. I try to keep things brief, but everything I write about this game somehow turns into an essay heh I've seen one other UA-camr who had a similar connection with Kara and Alice and it's definitely a more...impactful story. I really like seeing how different the choices made and attitude towards them changes when the player can relate more I also really like that you got one brief look at Markus and immediately recognized Jesse Williams! Love when that happens lmao Something else I'd like to note, is the shader screen. That didn't exist for *years* while the game was PS exclusive. It's interesting seeing how much it can set up someone's view of androids and the game before you even get into things since, as I said, it just didn't exist before As for the androids in sports question, I actually think it would be more fun. That said, I don't care about sports and find watching the capabilities of tech more interesting. Though, maybe a separate like...league for androids would be a better compromise
I'm glad you're loving this series so far! I look forward to reading your comments so don't apologize 😂💚 Yesss I recognized Markus right away bc I was *obsessed* with grey's anatomy for the longest time lol
I’ve seen so many people play this and I’ve never seen the cop on the roof in the opening scene!! I’ve looking for new UA-cam videos so I’ll be here binging these!!
Daniel: Im gonna kill you!! Connor: Im a bad bitch, you cant kill me Oh i LOVE how you played that scene! Ive seen a lot of players sacrificing themselves or shooting daniel which is also cool. But I love seeing Connor like this. Bc he just lies out the ass. Like straight up just bullshitting Daniel with zero remorse and thats so awesome given the rest of the story! The Markus intro is the best😂 "DOCTOR?!?" I recently watched Greys Anatomy and I had the exact opposite reaction😂 He popped up and I was like "holy shit MARKUS?!"
2:50 I feel you✊☝️🏌🏿♂️.. 100% about Art. I'm an Artist myself..even though I've seen some of the A I generated art that has been made recently... as an Artist myself...I don't think Generated A I art can replace "Human Hand Made Art" bro... I understand A I can make beautiful and unique art in a matter or seconds...but I believe Art made from humans will continue 2 be special and Unique. So I agree it is odd 2 see A I creating these art pieces in very little time. It is nice 2 see but again as an artist myself... art made by humans, I personally will continue to respect ✊☝️
So excited to see this! I subscribed when I saw you play the last of us because I've never seen someone be both so good at gaming while connecting to the stories.
Very interested to see how you progress in this one. Its one of my favorites and it touches on SO many things. You have barely scrathed the surface. I left u before cause we had some "irreconcilable" differences of opinion, but I'm back and here to support on this one. Good luck; this game is a gem!
To those who have been in Alice’s or Kali’s place, (I’m talking to you too, Kali) she is right. You are not alone. Simply know that the parent that made these actions upon you was once in a similar situation and is taking it out on you. If at any point you thought it was your fault, never ever doubt that it actually was. Consider looking at a mirror and repeat this sentence to your reflection: it’s not your fault. (Also, watch Big Hero 6. I’m aware a lot of people who have conflicting lives are emotionally and mentally released by a certain scene in that film.)
Hi Kali I just saw your channel because of this video, my english is not great but I just wanted to say that im really sorry you had to go through something similar to Alice, I appreciate that you didn't cut those part and you were willing to tell us a bit about it, I'm gonna be sticking around for this playthrough! Youre the best! ❤
Absolutely love your insights and the way you engage with the game! It's been years since I played it, watched a few playthroughs throughout the years, and yours really stand out - I feel like I'm rediscovering the game and loving it anew, if that makes sense? So, so glad this was in my recommended. Teared up at the end, much love to you ♥
This is probably one of my favorite games of All Time. I love watching people play for the first time. This studio always makes amazing Choice games like Heavy Rain. That was an interesting long intro😅 but I'm interested to see how your perspective changes I'm sure you will be invested in the characters. Also I highly recommend on one of your next Parts you react to the "Kara Short Story" in the extras on the main menu. It is it was the demo to test out the PS3 years ago but the story was so compelling that people demanded they make a full game to see what happens next. That's how Detroit was born. I really think you would enjoy it and it's very short❤
just discovered your channel, i really like your gameplay style and the way you voice your thoughts, definitely subscribing i cant wait to see you play more games in the future.
I love this game. Everyone I'm subscribed to played this game the year it came out. I saved everyone on my second try,and almost my first try. I enjoyed the thriller intense moment in the laundry room near the beginning. "Kara is my favorite character in the game. The music in this game is great.👏
Oh man the good old days of ps4 gaming! A beautiful game brought to the ps4, and heavy rain . Those two were good. I still have yet to finish, Beyond Two Souls
Really happy to see you are playing Detroit now, just finished your Mass Effect series and throughly enjoyed it. Detroit is one of my favorite games ever so I'm curious to see how your playthrough and experience is.
You're the first person I've seen help the cop by the pool in the opening and I've seen dozens of playthroughs. Good job. I love this game. I hope you enjoy your journey.
I was so scared but I also didn't want him to die lol. I also wanted the android see another android helping a human but I don't think that mattered as much 🤣🤣
@@kaliwaliHonestly, most people don't even notice the cop. They usually walk right on by. I'm glad you are trying to explore everything. Though, a little warning, there will be times when you can't explore EVERYTHING because you're on a time limit.
Back to playing another one of my favourite games. Some parts of this game really upset me. Sometimes I think it must have been written by an expert on human emotions. Like you, I have echo's from my childhood and honestly, sometimes I do not know what to do with them. Thank you for sharing your honestly.
Sometimes the echos can just be echos and that's okay. You can cry, punch a pillow, scream. But then remember it's just an echo & it has no place in your mind anymore 🤍 love it & send it on its way. I'm sorry you had a hard past too 🫂
When you were talking at the end of the video it seems the Female humanoid, (let's say the Gynoid, a word that does not exist for robots with Female shape but we already say "android" to talk about male shapes robots), it seems that she wanted to reassure you... I haven't read what she said but she said "I hope you're okay today. Sometimes things can be difficult but... I'm here for you."
I played this with a friend via streaming a few months ago. We got seriously screwed with the worst possible ending. It's his fault. My friend just couldn't take it seriously and we ended up taking terrible decisions. We had a great time though. A huge lot of fun. I'd really want to see what happens when... you take the decisions seriously. So I am up for the ride.
I've put off this game cause of my aversion to science fiction and robots. But Ive heard so much good about it, and it sounds like my kinda game. Lots of heavy decisions and deep dilemmas, which I love. I also love heavy rain and beyond two souls. I don't wanna miss out. So I think Ill finally try to give it a go 😅 Kinda silly, cause it's something I've put off for years. And any movies or games in this kinda lane.
Fun fact: Kara, who is played by Valorie Curry, was initially introduced by Quantic Dream in a tech demo all the way back in 2013, when they were showing off their new PS3 engine.

Almost everyone I saw gets 100% lol. Ig that either means I know how to find good let's players or I watch yt way too much
Its actually pretty easy ngl, you just have to use clues and not sacrifice self
That was basically a perfect playthrough of that initial Connor scene. I don't think I've seen anyone do it as well as that. I especially appreciate you saving that dying cop, almost no one ever does that.
Yeah, I've watched several other playthroughs and I've never seen someone save that cop before
Dude this girl is freaking smart and pays the right amount of attention to what's on the screen. She doesn't get lost in distractions or speculation like a lot of the streamers I've seen.
@@rivercitymud Yes, it's rare for girl to play like this, they're often distracted and don't know where to go😂
Not much of an achievement as it's not a blind playthrough. It gets predictable once you realize she follows the "best" action for every choice that affects lives in the whole game. Some choices are not logical or consistent, so it's like getting 100% on a test you were not supposed to know the answers for. I'm not calling this cheating, as she didn't really promise a blind playthrough - even if trying to create that impression.
I was gonna say the same, a lot of people miss the dying cop and it was awesome to see somebody helping him!
The mass effect piano music in the background 😭
Mass Effect is also a name of a game

To achieved 100% probability of success in your 1st ever mission in the MOST stressful situation AND in your 1st ever playthrough, i can reassure you that you'll do just fine, Ma'am. WELL DONE!
Just like how satisfied i am with the thoroughness in your GoW playthrough, i will feel the same too in this series. Never be afraid to inspect the whole area or situation because that's how you'll effectively gather all the missing pieces/informations in order to solve every cases.
Perfect start to a series! Also, stay strong for this playthrough n throughout the whole series💪🏽 Once again, GREAT work Ma'am!
1:38:33 The fact 98% of players found the key, but only 90% opened the box confuses me 🙈
right??? why wouldn't you open the box lol
Because a lot of players are either forgetful, distracted easily, or just don’t notice the box immediately.
@@RabbitsFunWorld Not to mention replaying the game
As someone who has seen a lot of different playthroughs of this game. You'd be amazed by knowing how much people get distracted so easily or just don't focus on the game at all
@@PokecasYT I also think they believe they can come back and do it
I love how this game asks the question “how much convenience is too much convenience?”
Every aspect of human life and the human experience has been supplemented and even in some instances replaced by Androids. They staff shops, cook in restaurants, provide near perfect security services, act as friends to your children and companions-platonic or otherwise-to adults. It’s like the humans from Wall-E, except with less rampant gluttony.
So really.
How much convenience is too much convenience? When does it stop being convenient and start being a tragedy waiting to happen. Daniel, the Android from the prologue, felt like he was part of the family, and then realized he was going to be tossed aside like a used rag. So he reacted violently and lashed out. The convenience of a newer, more advanced android model lured the family in.
How much convenience is too much convenience?
Thank you very much for coming to my TED talk.
your attention to detail is crazy!! i love the way you play the game, and your reaction to alice’s situation was very touching 🫶
one of the most satisfying moments of your gameplay in this video is you saved the bleeding police on the rooftop. you did the right thing. you're a very rare player in youtube who did that.
oh my, the obvious pain the scenes with Todd and Alice put you through was hard to watch. I am so sorry for whatever you've been through.
I think you’re such a genuine streamer I can see you being so popular in the future, because not only do you connect to your own personal life, you also take your time analyzing so much and taking in every feature of the game.

thank you for sharing! and welcome in 💚 I hope you're in a better, safer place now and know that it's okay to live your life!
oh boy kali, if you were having a hard time with mass effect choices this games going to put you through the ringer. I don't think the game is going to be as life changing as mass effect because its no where near as long but you're gonna have some new perspectives at the end. Glad you were able to play this.
This doesn't happen often, but 1 minute in, you haven't even started the game yet and you've completely captivated me with how beautifully and thoughtfully you speak. Instantly subscribed and hoping you've played other games that I know so that I can binge them all!
thank you for the sub and thoughtful comment 💚 I'm glad you're enjoying this series so far!
I'm not usually into watching playthroughs of the games I haven't played, but decided to give this one a chance. Definitely wasn't disappointed.
Really felt like giving you a hug at the end there. Gonna get a bit personal here, but when I was a kid, my mom saved me from a childhood just like that by making a really hard decision to divorce my father who was not too different from Todd in terms of his overall state. So I can't be impartial engaging with stories like this one knowing it could've as well been my story, too.
Thank you for not being afraid to show your emotions. And thank you for letting us know that scars can heal over time, even if they leave their mark forever.
P. S. Oh Pixie, ever the little rascal lol
You’ve been playing a bunch of my favorite games lately and it’s very awesome to witness lol
👍
Hey, I’m sorry to hear you went through some type of abuse when you were younger. & that some games bring up bad those bad memories.
Thanks for speaking out about it though. I think it does help others. Glad to hear you’re in a better place now and that there is hope for those who sadly might be dealing with a similar situation.
Does this unit have a soul - The game
Was very much looking forward to playing this, as I think it's really a perfect fit for what you like in a game and how immersed you get while playing.
At the same time, I kinda dreaded the Kara chapter, since you've talked about your past. It's so good to hear though that you took agency over your past and how it made you stronger and turned you into the wonderful human you are today. Much love!
It's always hard when games touch on this subject just because it hits close to home for me! But I always try to look at it as a silver lining to where I am now in life 💚 So far the game is amazing though. I can't wait to see where it goes because there are soooooo many open topics that are already tossing around in my brain
@@kaliwali❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
30:36 You probably already noticed this, but pay attention the music during tense situations. Depending on your choices, it varies. It gets faster, more intense, or calmer, less intense. Absolutely brilliant audio and stylistic design. It's also so immersive and cinematic that it was only on my second playthrough (where I intentionally was as lifeless and android-y as possible to see the "bad" ending) that I actually noticed the music getting "worse" when I made evil or dispassionate responses.
What A Gameplay....And When You Were Crying I Was Like Someone Stop Her Please..... Because I Don't Know How To Cry In the first place....you can say i am humanoid And I Don't Know How To Console Someone Either....I Would Rather Walk Away Because I Know It Will Go Bad If I Enter The Situation.....Well I Didn't Had Any Abusive Childhood Or Anything But I Had Gone Through A Lot.....So I Can Feel You At The Emotional Level Without Emotions.....But Keep It Up.🖤
one of the best games ever IMO, and def one of my favorite to watch playthroughs of, currently watching Jettro play and came across your channel, you KILLED it during the first Conner interaction, cant wait to watch your journey!
i love that you try to explore everything, most people i watched playing detroit just jumped right into it and missed half the possible achievements and cutscenes
I'm sorry for what you've been through, lots of love. Also, loved the way you played this
That kara chapter was really touching :(. Sorry for what u had go trough, all good for u!
EXCELLENT job with your first mission. Beautiful job! And yes, EVERY, SINGLE, STREAMER I've seen play this game has missed the wounded officer in the first mission. Great awareness.
this is my introduction to ur channel and got me subscribed even at the intro, just the way how u talked abt ur thoughts (since i'm a broke artist myself lol), I just know i'll luv ur gameplay, especially the last gameplay of DBH i've watched managed to get all the characters get killed in casual mode 💀 so this is so much better already. it's evident in ur connor mission gameplay with 2-3 times stabalized in 99% since the game gives chances to achieve 100%.
just one tip tho: reading all the pages in magazines are completely fine at first parts of this game, but there'll be times were the time u consume reading is included in ur time exploring and u'll miss alot, so just look out for those or skimming the mag is more advisable
I'm glad you're loving the channel so far and thank you for the tips! 💚
Wow! I didn't expect the emotional journey, but i'm really glad you went there, because i'm sure it hit a lot of people that dealt with similar issues. Thank you, and respect.
Haha !!! You set the Mass Effect music !!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 You are right it is so beautiful, but it gets very emotional, I find it sad as it reminds me when I watched your Mass Effect trilogy playthrough, when you discovered it...
Oh Girl, how much I miss it !
That's crazy but, while I am writing those words, tears run down my cheeks, but I do understand why you chose that music, that means a lot, that means how much the Mass Effect trilogy, its ambiance, its musics, follow you, how much it is now a part of your identity, a part of you, how much it fills your heart 💖💖💖💖💖
I can't wait to watch your video, but I just wanted to write that comment before I'm doing so
Cat bonk was approval you picked another perfect game! :) Was worry I will lose interest in this channel after ME, but you got me again!
PS: Just watched ending of episode. Really admire your courage and openness. These games are very emotional and its very fine if you are open to it.
I just want to say how perfect of a first mission that was. I think you unlocked everything in your first playthrough of connors first mission
1:06:08 . "THERE YOU GO MASTER " 😂 . The dislikeful tone in your voice was great. I agree the guy is a huge whole.👍
I subscribed simply based on your intro. You are very thoughtful and introspective. It partially worries me on how you are going to make decisions in this game but play them through regardless of how things go. They are YOUR decisions so don't change things based off of negative comments you might get.
I just discovered your playthrough today and I already LOVE your intro!
I am very sorry that Kara’s and Alice’s part hit home so much for you. This game is incredibly good at storytelling but it deals with a lot of very serious topics and even if it kinda falls into the category of science fiction, the realism of a lot of its scenes is almost eerie. It is also okay to take a break from playing a game and maybe come back later when it becomes too much (I know I have done that several times). You are an amazing person from what I have seen so far, I am really looking forward to the rest of your playthrough.
The topic of AI is a highly complex one and does not have an easy answer and I believe this game showcases that brilliantly. My sister is an artist so I am in very much in touch with that part of the AI-debate. I totally agree that art generated by AI cannot rival that created by humans but even worse, the use of AI in art related industries threatens the very livelihood of so many people. AI-programs are trained using art from real people without their consent, basically comitting art theft which is already a huge problem in our digital age. Yet it is somehow considered okay and legal? But then there are the fields of medicine and security where the use of AI literally saves lives, so it depends really on the way and area we use it in. And Detroit asks similar questions as well. Is AI good or bad? This is why I think the first chapter is so ingenius because it already gives a good answer: It can be both. An android stopping another android from hurting and killing people already shows how complicated this topic can be.
Also: Congratulations on acing the first scene! It is a high stress moment and learning the controls while simultaneously finding all clues and making decisions is not easy. But you intuitively did literally everything right! This is going to be so fun and interesting. Cheers.
as someone with a troublesome childhood as well i can relate to your feelings very well too. moments like these are a harsh reminder of what happened and trigger our memories hard. took me 10 yrs of therapy to work through all the mess. i am mostly okay now, but the anxiety stayed. got somewhat more manageble though. for the really bad days i have meds that help a lot and i can have a life now.
Im also playing it, I am at the leo Markus scene for the second time.
I am from Detroit, born and raised but thankfully now am an hour out into the country of beautiful Michigan...such a cool reimagining.
The other crazy part is the theme hits close to home a lot of it, but now ironically I am an Android software engineer...but I have seen first hand the under side of the world and it was very unsettling to revisit.
Can't wait to see another person perspective on this.
I couldn't even use the restroom without the threat of getting hit by step dad for no reason.
I'm so sorry. You're not alone 🤍
I think people for the most part don’t like mentioning that the androids and how they’re being treated is exactly (if albeit better actually) how black people were treated for hundreds of years while our ancestors were slaves and even after they were freed. Because a main reason unions were made was because former slaves kept getting jobs because they quite literally had lifetime experience while non slaves didn’t. Of course Antebellum Slavery was 1000x worse than what the androids are going through in the game. Ie the fact that they made literal *breeding camps* so they could breed a slave (a human being) for specific jobs. Which is horrifying in it of itself.
I think that’s why this game makes me uncomfortable because there are black looking androids and obviously they’re being owned. And that makes me feel uneasy 😅
Two words......Clancy Brown.....nuff said. Much love Kali.
1:27:37 Alice's little fort is the prettiest place in the whole house. She decorated it with little she got, but with love.
Great video your analysis of the scenes being portrayed are well thought out and make for an enjoyable conversation, Detroit is still one of the best choice based games still today and I enjoyed watching this.
about the first ramble: wow, you should start a podcast - very thoughtful insights
I'm so sorry to see you getting triggered by Karas story. On a positive note, the acting and delivery was so good. Todds acting is scaringly good.
I saw some of Your Rdr2 playthroughs, I subscribed because You play with soul, take your time and appreciate the game and every thing that went into that game. Plus You are a joy to watch. Then I saw this Detroit, I insta knew that You WILL get it right and is a game for You. Sadly I don't have the patience to play these games, but I do like them a lot and I appreciate someone that takes their time and explore these . Thank You.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found this channel 💚
And I thought I was the one who would go from RDR2 to Mass Effect series to Detroit but its actually cool to know that I'm not the only one lol. It's been fun seeing the playthrough from the perspective of someone playing the game for the first time, something that cant be retained.
I have also been through some bad stuff.
I read a lot also ❤
This scenario with Alice was so hard.
My fiance also, she talks in her sleep, has nightmares and it breaks my heart sometimes.
Very special game, will never hit you the same as the first playthrough. Excited to see the rest
Love that you’re getting into this after finishing ME and playing on experienced as well. GLHF excited to see how you react to this after your decisions with the Geth and Reapers
This game is a masterpiece, and Connor is one of the most badass characters ever. I'm actually really glad that there are people still playing or getting into it for the first time.
First of all, Kali, how could you! You made me cry with that beautiful music at the beginning alone.
Secondly, to say this game is perfect or a masterpiece would be the understatement of the century, I've never had the chance to play it but I've watched countless videos and each one was as different as it was awesome.
🤣💚 I just cant let ME go, I think it will forever follow me now lol
@@kaliwali ME made me think so much that's it's partially part of my life now, I basically grew up with it. I would feel bad if I was ever to forget it so yeah it will forever be in our minds.
Anyway, big words for a simple idea, enjoy DBH, I for sure enjoyed it several times.
I went through similar sh*t myself. Not be my beloved family, but the family pediatrician. I felt that anger bubbling up when I watched this segment too.
What happened to us IS NOT our fault and the outcome made us strong AF.
yep! 💪🏻
Remember watching a RadBrad playthrough for D:BH. Loved it, you'll probably like the game quite a bit.
One thing I giggled at, tho... while you were praising the graphics in the intro level, I kept remembering how night & day the rest of the game is, in most parts -- a lot of effort was put into that opener, effort that was not continued consistently (to put it mildly) throughout the rest of the game. You can even see the huge difference in visual quality not long after, when you're playing as Kara in the house. The level looks... old -- textures, lighting, set design, they're all average, at best.
I haven't played this game but will be cool to learn about this from your playthrough and witty one liners 😎
I just found your channel and i love your energy.
Only seen the intro and can tell this is going to be a good playthrough
I hear a lot of people have this argument, but the Android doesn't need to do everything for you, just the things you don't want to. You're also not required to get one. But yeah, you explained you'd want one as a physical trainer. All the different kind exist for all the different needs of all the many potential customers.
I'm a Korean living in Japan.
I'm studying English on UA-cam.
And now I have found the best channel.
I have subscribed to your channel.
Please understand that my English is not good.
Thank you for the new sub! It's awesome that you're using my channel to learn English 💚 Welcome in!
Well done Kali! Proud of you what comes to the end of this video.
I love your way of playing this amazing game! I've seen multiple play throughs these past years and I lovee your attention to detail and you think of everything and really feel everything that happends. I already know that im going to lovee this series. You seem like an amazing person ❤
Edit: I just finished the video and im crying... about this game... again... Really shows how real this game feels.
Finally got a chance to watch this episode, glad you're getting a chance to check this game out. A lot of parallels with human history. Also as you kept stating the game is gorgeous and the number of possible outcomes in each chapter have easily put this game in my top 5. I actually am looking to play through it again soon! Looking forward to the next one!
Glad you've started releasing the episodes. Originally I was worried that you had some kind of problem getting it released, or had decided to play it on Twitch. Anyway, yeah, hope you enjoy the rest of the game. Kara's story is one of my favourite.
EDIT: Also, don't know if you noticed in the intro, but Admiral Hackett's voice actor (Lance Henriksen) is also in this game.
Ahhhh very cool about Admiral Hackett! I'm excited to see who he voices!
@@kaliwali❤❤❤
I've skimmed through your playthrough so far and it seems like it's going to be a fun ride! I apologize in advance for all the comments you're going to have to read from me lmao. I try to keep things brief, but everything I write about this game somehow turns into an essay heh
I've seen one other UA-camr who had a similar connection with Kara and Alice and it's definitely a more...impactful story. I really like seeing how different the choices made and attitude towards them changes when the player can relate more
I also really like that you got one brief look at Markus and immediately recognized Jesse Williams! Love when that happens lmao
Something else I'd like to note, is the shader screen. That didn't exist for *years* while the game was PS exclusive. It's interesting seeing how much it can set up someone's view of androids and the game before you even get into things since, as I said, it just didn't exist before
As for the androids in sports question, I actually think it would be more fun. That said, I don't care about sports and find watching the capabilities of tech more interesting. Though, maybe a separate like...league for androids would be a better compromise
I'm glad you're loving this series so far! I look forward to reading your comments so don't apologize 😂💚
Yesss I recognized Markus right away bc I was *obsessed* with grey's anatomy for the longest time lol
I’ve seen so many people play this and I’ve never seen the cop on the roof in the opening scene!! I’ve looking for new UA-cam videos so I’ll be here binging these!!
This is the first time I've seen someone who got 100% on their first!!!😦
Daniel: Im gonna kill you!!
Connor: Im a bad bitch, you cant kill me
Oh i LOVE how you played that scene!
Ive seen a lot of players sacrificing themselves or shooting daniel which is also cool.
But I love seeing Connor like this.
Bc he just lies out the ass. Like straight up just bullshitting Daniel with zero remorse and thats so awesome given the rest of the story!
The Markus intro is the best😂
"DOCTOR?!?"
I recently watched Greys Anatomy and I had the exact opposite reaction😂
He popped up and I was like "holy shit MARKUS?!"
2:50 I feel you✊☝️🏌🏿♂️.. 100% about Art. I'm an Artist myself..even though I've seen some of the A I generated art that has been made recently... as an Artist myself...I don't think Generated A I art can replace "Human Hand Made Art" bro... I understand A I can make beautiful and unique art in a matter or seconds...but I believe Art made from humans will continue 2 be special and Unique. So I agree it is odd 2 see A I creating these art pieces in very little time. It is nice 2 see but again as an artist myself... art made by humans, I personally will continue to respect ✊☝️
Statue = Filler. His name also shows up on one of the graves.
This game is so powerful. You won’t regret experiencing it
So excited to see this! I subscribed when I saw you play the last of us because I've never seen someone be both so good at gaming while connecting to the stories.
Very interested to see how you progress in this one. Its one of my favorites and it touches on SO many things. You have barely scrathed the surface. I left u before cause we had some "irreconcilable" differences of opinion, but I'm back and here to support on this one. Good luck; this game is a gem!
this comment made me smile :) welcome back!
@kaliwali Aww shucks ☺️. I'm glad.
To those who have been in Alice’s or Kali’s place, (I’m talking to you too, Kali) she is right. You are not alone. Simply know that the parent that made these actions upon you was once in a similar situation and is taking it out on you. If at any point you thought it was your fault, never ever doubt that it actually was. Consider looking at a mirror and repeat this sentence to your reflection: it’s not your fault.
(Also, watch Big Hero 6. I’m aware a lot of people who have conflicting lives are emotionally and mentally released by a certain scene in that film.)
💚💚💚 love this. thank you for sharing!
showers and toilets can be in seperated rooms... thats completly normal..
same for my apartment.

Hi Kali I just saw your channel because of this video, my english is not great but I just wanted to say that im really sorry you had to go through something similar to Alice, I appreciate that you didn't cut those part and you were willing to tell us a bit about it, I'm gonna be sticking around for this playthrough! Youre the best! ❤
💚💚💚
Gotta hide my drugs, better use the detergent. Good thing I didn't buy an android and tell it to do the laundry.
Absolutely love your insights and the way you engage with the game! It's been years since I played it, watched a few playthroughs throughout the years, and yours really stand out - I feel like I'm rediscovering the game and loving it anew, if that makes sense? So, so glad this was in my recommended.
Teared up at the end, much love to you ♥
This is probably one of my favorite games of All Time. I love watching people play for the first time. This studio always makes amazing Choice games like Heavy Rain. That was an interesting long intro😅 but I'm interested to see how your perspective changes I'm sure you will be invested in the characters.
Also I highly recommend on one of your next Parts you react to the
"Kara Short Story" in the extras on the main menu. It is it was the demo to test out the PS3 years ago but the story was so compelling that people demanded they make a full game to see what happens next. That's how Detroit was born. I really think you would enjoy it and it's very short❤
just discovered your channel, i really like your gameplay style and the way you voice your thoughts, definitely subscribing i cant wait to see you play more games in the future.
thank you for the new sub! i'm glad you're loving my journey in this game so far 💚
Oooh it's been a few years since I played Detroit, really looking forward to seeing your reactions! 😁
I love this game. Everyone I'm subscribed to played this game the year it came out. I saved everyone on my second try,and almost my first try. I enjoyed the thriller intense moment in the laundry room near the beginning. "Kara is my favorite character in the game. The music in this game is great.👏
1:11:50 This game really has heavy themes of Organism! 🥁
8:55
"This is not just a story...This is our future"...

I just found your channel and i cant help but comment that you look and sound like Dakota Johnson, your voice is so calming❤️
this is a huge compliment because I love Dakota Johnson! 💚 thank you!

We are with you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh man the good old days of ps4 gaming! A beautiful game brought to the ps4, and heavy rain . Those two were good. I still have yet to finish, Beyond Two Souls
Really happy to see you are playing Detroit now, just finished your Mass Effect series and throughly enjoyed it. Detroit is one of my favorite games ever so I'm curious to see how your playthrough and experience is.
welcome into another series! so far I've been loving this game too. it's amazingly deep & much more than I thought going in at first 💚
Speaking of art.......the music in the background......is that from Mass Effect?
it is, it is lol
You're the first person I've seen help the cop by the pool in the opening and I've seen dozens of playthroughs. Good job. I love this game. I hope you enjoy your journey.
I was so scared but I also didn't want him to die lol. I also wanted the android see another android helping a human but I don't think that mattered as much 🤣🤣
@@kaliwaliHonestly, most people don't even notice the cop. They usually walk right on by. I'm glad you are trying to explore everything. Though, a little warning, there will be times when you can't explore EVERYTHING because you're on a time limit.
I am scared for these moments bc I feel like I will fail lol @@Joker_JAK

i do like how this games graphics are on point, for what the actor and actresses faces looks like in real life.
This is one of my favorite games ever! I am really looking forward to watch you play it
I'm already having anxiety in case things go south with my favorite characters 😂
Back to playing another one of my favourite games. Some parts of this game really upset me. Sometimes I think it must have been written by an expert on human emotions. Like you, I have echo's from my childhood and honestly, sometimes I do not know what to do with them. Thank you for sharing your honestly.
Sometimes the echos can just be echos and that's okay. You can cry, punch a pillow, scream. But then remember it's just an echo & it has no place in your mind anymore 🤍 love it & send it on its way. I'm sorry you had a hard past too 🫂
@@kaliwali❤❤❤❤❤
When you were talking at the end of the video it seems the Female humanoid, (let's say the Gynoid, a word that does not exist for robots with Female shape but we already say "android" to talk about male shapes robots), it seems that she wanted to reassure you... I haven't read what she said but she said "I hope you're okay today. Sometimes things can be difficult but... I'm here for you."
The best game I ever played , So happy your playing this, I hope you enjoying this game
Sending you lots of hugs and positive vibes kaliwali!!!
I played this with a friend via streaming a few months ago. We got seriously screwed with the worst possible ending. It's his fault. My friend just couldn't take it seriously and we ended up taking terrible decisions. We had a great time though. A huge lot of fun.
I'd really want to see what happens when... you take the decisions seriously. So I am up for the ride.
Connors not a cop lol he's working with them there's a difference. He's sent from Cyberlife who's private
I've put off this game cause of my aversion to science fiction and robots. But Ive heard so much good about it, and it sounds like my kinda game. Lots of heavy decisions and deep dilemmas, which I love. I also love heavy rain and beyond two souls. I don't wanna miss out. So I think Ill finally try to give it a go 😅
Kinda silly, cause it's something I've put off for years. And any movies or games in this kinda lane.
