Today's tribute is to the Detroit's female lead Kara. Kara is one of 3 android that the player controls in the game. Sadly we don't get to see much of Kara barefoot in the actual game (that I'm aware of) however the trailers for the series have some really good closeups of her feet. ^_^

Also some pictures of her actress Valorie Curry for good measure...

Kara is android attendant who gains sentience when she sees her owner Todd abusing his daughter Alice. To prevent Todd from hurting the Alice, Kara runs away with the girl. Over the course of the game Kara becomes sort of mother figure to Alice.
Detroit has several different outcomes based on a player's decisions in the game. Not only can each of the player controlled characters wind up killed but the characters the player interact with can be killed as well. For example in Kara's story arc she may not be able to keep Alice safe and if the player isn't careful enough the girl can be killed off as well. One of the games darker endings even has Kara wind up as a robotic slave to a sadistic master. The wide range of outcomes has a result of making a gamer heavily invested in the game's characters. Kara comes across as incredibly sympathetic in the game and I found contemplating each decision heavily trying to protect Kara and the characters around her. It should be also noted that the other player controlled characters (an android police investigator named Connor and an android activist named Marcus are equally as compelling and it was really exciting progressing through each character's storyline particularly when the player controlled characters cross paths with one another.
I really recommend this game very heavily. It is really good. I originally got this game because I enjoyed other games that Quantric dreams had released such as Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain. The trailers didn't completely convince me that I would enjoy this but it is so much better than the trailers let on. The action was nonstop and you kept wanting to continuing each of the storylines as they each got more and more intense. By the climax of the game when I was controlling all three android as they attempted to survive a chaotic riot I completely understood why this game had been picked as the best for 2018. An epic storyline, complex and compelling characters, cute female androids :-D ... it really is a must play. :-)
Ok that's all for now. As always more to come soon!
