Get ready for Twitch Plays Detroit: Become Human! Believe it or not, Quantic Dream has decided that it'd be fun to let Twitch chat make the decisions in a playthrough of this narratively-focused game.

If you're not quite up to date with this game, have a taste of the story by checking out this PC Teaser Trailer:

Detroit: Become Human is a third-person adventure game that explores one of Asimov's classic themes: what happens when androids gain sentience? Players will have to make a bunch of choices throughout the story which could lead to freedom for the androids... or it could result in disaster.

Now, Quantic Dream is essentially creating Twitch Plays Detroit: Become Human, giving Twitch Chat the opportunity to decide the fate of humanity's future. (I predict rioting.)

How Will Twitch Plays Detroit: Become Human Work?

According to a press release, Quantic Dream has created something called "Detroit: Community Play", a free interactive stream extension for Twitch. The extension is making its debut at the same time that Quantic Dream's Twitch channel will be going live for the first time ever.

Quantic Dream's inaugural stream will feature Detroit: Become Human and the Community Play extension, allowing viewers to select from over 150 choices throughout the story. These polls will appear automatically at key points in the narrative.

You'll be able to see Twitch try their hand at playing Detroit: Become Human when Quantic Dream's inaugural stream kicks off on Monday, May 25, 2020, at 2:00 PM EDT at twitch.tv/quanticdream.
