It's Year 2038 | Detroit: Become Human | Pt.1

In this episode I get my first look into Detroit: Become Human. A futuristic world where androids coexist (kind of) with humans. So far, three androids are met and we get a glimpse into their lives. I'm already sensing some very strong themes: a struggle over the integration of androids into human life causing huge job loss, moral dilemmas when androids are making big decisions for humanity, and interesting changes in some androids that are becoming more... human? when put into dire situations.
"Remember: this is not just a story. This is our future."

The opening sequence song reminded me of this one by Sia:

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.

[@Mr.YubNub]

Yeah, I've watched several other playthroughs and I've never seen someone save that cop before

[@rivercitymud]

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.

[@osky3301]

@@rivercitymud Yes, it's rare for girl to play like this, they're often distracted and don't know where to go😂

[@DmytroC-co9oc]

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.

[@mewcupcake8453]

I was gonna say the same, a lot of people miss the dying cop and it was awesome to see somebody helping him!

[@austinzeagler2460]

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.

[@earlbrown]

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.

You going to want to keep the tissues nearby. This game is crazy with the questions it asks, the very real situations it presents. It's a hell of a story. Your going to love it and the journey can't be topped by any other game.

[@Alchera201]

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.

[@kaliwali]

oh wow! thank you for sharing this I had no idea 😱

[@michaelengelby732]

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

[@SourStrawberrys]

​@@kaliwaliYou can actually see the original tech demo here on KZbin from back then. Just search it.

[@earlbrown]

@@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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inXbgIh6bKaagM0

[@whiteowlmassacre4907]

I can't pretend to relate to what you've experienced, but from the first interactions with Alice and how timid she was, the game became Alice over everything to me too. Also, NEVER mute Chloe (the main menu AI), jk lol, but she's a really cool touch to this game. All your playthroughs and the ones you have planned in the near future are bangers, keep 'em coming!

[@Deedric_Kee]

[@FanEAW]

The fact the kara situation makes you remember potentially hurtful memories, your expressions and micro expressions during that, i felt bad for you having to maybe relive some bad memories, sorry you went through something like this, happy that your at least in a good environment now! Cats are awesome therapeutic animals btw, i have 2 lol. That boop in the begining had me laugh out loud 😂

[@azrulazman6180]

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!

[@4r4n3lm4l74]

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.

[@mikeburke8772]

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.

[@oliver.n278]

1:38:33 The fact 98% of players found the key, but only 90% opened the box confuses me 🙈

[@kaliwali]

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.

your attention to detail is crazy!! i love the way you play the game, and your reaction to alice’s situation was very touching 🫶

[@boezow]

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

[@C.80]

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 ❤

[@kaliwali]

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!

[@YuryVVV]

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

From edi and the geth to detroid become hunan thats actualy a very logical progression

[@spiguy420]

I just jumped in, saw the thumb and thought: "hey, why not right?" I'm very picky about what to watch lately, and it captivated me from the first few seconds. Commentary, logical, well spoken. I was blown away by your thought process when helping the officer, it was so tense it never occurred to me. And into Kara's storyline, I pictured what reaction you would get, at the same time at the back of my head I was like "maybe not..." and when that moment came... it hit me too and I got teary... I kept thinking how brave you were to keep going, so yeah, there is no way I cannot sub.

[@kaliwali]

Thank you for the new sub and giving my series a chance! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far 💚

[@Xlore127]

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.

[@soullessluna21]

I remember a few times during your ME play throughs you’ve mentioned you’ve lived through Alice’s situation and in my life I’ve dealt with them as well so it does pull some heartstrings. But we’re stronger because of it so it’s going to be a journey watching your story cause I know what happens 🤗🖤

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.

[@winkmurder]

I'm SO excited for this playthrough! I already can't wait for the next episode. You truly have a way of creating the most perfect playthroughs. I love how you share so much of your thoughts in your intros and throughout. How you explore and exhaust every optional objective. Most of all, I think more than anything, I love how empathetic you are as a person, and how it clearly shows in every video you create. It's what gravitated me to your content in the first place. You also nailed it on the head in your outro about embracing even the darker moments from our past because they've shaped you into who you are today. I really can't wait for the rest of this playthrough, it's going to be another incredible journey. One thing I wanted to mention how you spoke about the controls from keyboard and mouse feeling immersive; I've never actually seen anyone play Detroit with keyboard and mouse, but if you use controller, they actually utilize the motion sensor capabilities of the controller (as far as PS4 anyway, I'm not sure about Xbox) and you actually have to jerk the controller upwards for example like when you're lifting the window to ventilate the room, or sideways, or tilt it 180°, etc. I also think it's cool how you appreciate art and music. I agree with you (not surprising, since I think we have very similar opinions/stances/etc. from all that I've gathered, and I don't think I've disagreed with you once since I began watching your content) about being apprehensive toward the integration of A.I. Personally, I'm very fearful and cautious of where it's all heading... I think I'm more weary about the intelligence aspect of A.I. in things such as chatgpt or other programs that can essentially learn patterns of human thinking and behaviour. P.s. I also noticed and loved how you used the term "organics" a couple times already when referring to humans. 😅 P.p.s. I still have a couple M.E. videos to share with you that I'd really love to see your reaction to.

[@kaliwali]

thank you for such an awesome comment! 💚 I'm glad you love this channel so much & are excited for this series I'm also wishing I would have used controller now that you said it's even MORE immersive! lol but I do feel like the small interactions are still interesting in m&kb and I usually gravitate more towards that play style anyway 😅 and ahhh yes I did say organics hahahah ME will forever follow me everywhere now it seems lol

[@jorluo]

I was looking for Detroit players on KZbin and found your channel. Brilliantly played first part. I really like how thoroughly you research the locations and how emotionally involved you are in game events. Now I'm excited to move on to the next part. Thanks K.

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!

[@woodyahfuu]

Only seen the intro and can tell this is going to be a good playthrough

[@HakumeiKira]

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.

[@aels224]

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.

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

[@clwilliams9276]

Ur amazing. U did amazing. The only other playthrough I've watched that started out this amazingly was a playthrough I watched yesterday n finished earlier today. U not only have started this out as close to perfect as a first-time player could probably possibly start, but u also have a strong connection with the Kara storyline. To my recollection, I haven't seen anyone legitimately start to cry during that scene at Todd's. Typically, they yell n wish they had the gun or wanna take the girl n run. I like watching different perspectives on things n ur's is the first with this perspective that I have found that plays the game in a way that kept me watching long enough to see. (Edit: I checked ur channel page n saw that u may not have finished the game yet (not sure but the title doesn't really seem like it would be the final one) so I wanted to add to maybe skip the paragraph directly below this. I am vague but I'm not sure my vagueness was actually even vague enough. So it might be better to just skip it.) I'm both excited n worried to see how Kara scene 2 plays out for u. I hope u got through it alright emotional. I'm curious to know how u play it since u unlocked everything for that section to go any number of ways. Depending on that outcome, I wonder if u'll have the chance encounter (idk if u finished the game yet cuz as of typing this comment, I haven't even opened ur channel page yet. So i'm being vague) that can happen much later on n I really wonder how u'd react to it if u do get that scene piece. Well, onto part 2 I go 😅. Subscribing before I click if for sure tho. Also, 💜 have a great day/night

I'm gonna continue the 5th episode after I finish this reply. Skip this paragraph if u wanna replay the game after u finish it cuz I talk about some of the other paths for the stuff I watched u play up to this point. If u wanna go back in to see some of the other paths n don't wanna be spoiled about any of it, just skip this paragraph. The ppl that don't help the cop usually didn't see him n even if they did, they didn't go close enough to get the interaction popup. Some did get the popup n decided to leave him but that is pretty rare in my experience. N in the escape from Todd scene, the ppl that don't go for the window either didn't realize they had the option or didn't get to the room (i.e. break the programming) in time for it to still even be an option. Pretty much everyone unlocks the option but they either forget before they get to it, get the gun first (so no reason to rush out the slippery window), don't realize they r actually supposed to move after being told not to, or fail parts of the fight (which ensues if u wait too long, choose the wrong option, or go for the gun first) resulting in being on the wrong side of the room for a quick window escape to work. N as for the kara scene where u have a lot of locations to choose from, u did a really good job there. It's not a scene I particularly enjoy, but I did wanna say u did good there. Everywhere was dangerous n unlike a lot of other parts of the game, the more exploration u do there seems to raise the probability of Connor n Kara having an encounter. Specifically the trip into the store n going to the Motel. The Laundry Mat seems to be entirely about ur relationship with Alice cuz I don't remember seeing anyone actually fail to steal the clothes n get caught if they chose to steal them. N there doesn't seem to be any issues resulting from not stealing them either. And (THIS IS THE MOST SPOILERY PART OF THIS PARAGRAPH. I REPEAT, most spoilery of this paragraph) the other path in that confrontation with Leo scene is the bad route. U got the good ending of that scene. Ur instincts about Carl in that moment where very correct. And it definitely does seem like Leo died there, for the longest time, I just didn't process that he survived. But the wording makes it clear that he indeed suffered a severe brain injury and didn't die. But yeah, that other ending is absolutely heartbreaking. Listening to Carl n enduring was what one of the first playthroughs I watched did and its so horrible. Especially since the ultimate result is Markus' destruction either way. Instead tho, Leo points at u and says u did it. Absolutely no empathy from him. (Back to non-spoilery n not even gameplay focused things) Oh and I've never actually seen ANYONE go into the extras menu to look through stuff they've unlocked. Ur vids r the first time I've seen literally any of it. That Kara short movie reveals soooooo much context for the game that u legitimately don't get ingame (unless it's given during one of the worst endings which I haven't watched at all, or blocked out if I did). But seeing all that art is amazing. And I only learned thanks to a comment under another playthrough that Alice was originally a little black girl so that was my first time seeing the original model. All of the characters were made using physical mapping on actual actors. The actors did the movements for it. I'm pretty sure there were some stunt performers involved for more dangerous stuff but, for the most part, the actors physically did their parts. The actor that played Connor plays the game on its anniversary every year with his wife. His wife played the Tracey's. Jessie Williams is the most quickly identified by new players, the second fastest is Carl's actor. Third quickest recognition is Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs. For the main cast, the rest of the characters r harder to recognize from other media for most ppl. I always misidentify Kara's actress. For some reason how she looks in the game looks exactly how I remember the main character in Divergent looking. Their faces r too similar for my bad memory to identify them as different ppl. I'm glad u got through the tornado alright. I didn't even know a tornado happened so recently, I guess I haven't really been getting my usual new content notifs so I had no idea. And thank u for reading my comment. I'm always so happy when a creator reads my comment. It makes my day. Info about my commenting habits (I realized just how unnecessary this part really was but still wanted to leave it here 😅): It doesn't happen a lot cuz of how long they almost always r so when it does happen, I'm always just so happy. I do make short comments sometimes, but it's rare. When I do, I may do it like that for a few days then return to my normal comment size. Its a headspace based thing. When my sense of time is an absolute 0 n my sense of self awareness is around 25-50%, my comments r supersized. When one of those previous percentages is above 50%, the size of the comment shrinks drastically. When self-confidence comes into play, my likelihood of even leaving a comment is pretty much 0. The only times I leave a comment when I'm in that head space r when I really have something I want to say. Those r the times I take close to 3 hours typing a comment that's probably half this size edited down 20+ times with how of it deleted minutes prior to posting. Have an amazing day! 💜

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.

[@LucidityEngine]

Love that you're doing this game. 🤘

[@katymorgan327]

omg !! yay ! another super great game to watch a first time play through , soo excited !! there are some hard choices and heartbreak in this game as well !

[@vagabond142]

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.

[@NewYork975]

Watching a first time playthrough with Mass Effect background music. Nice! 👍🏾

[@kaliwali]

love ME! 💚

[@Saracay23]

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! ❤

[@kaliwali]

💚💚💚

[@matthewdragomir2261]

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.

[@evomrix]

must admit, i have been waiting for this upload. very excited to see how you go through this game. fyi, there are over 80 different endings. and knowing how you think every decision through, guessing this game will take a year to finish lol. jkjk. every decision does count, be ready for MANY quick time events, and if you mistime them, things will go.....not well. Always listen to Chloe on the main menu screen, she speaks alot and is quite the character as well. this game is going to be rough, but is ABSOLUTELY amazing. ive played through probably 6 or 7 times. not as many times as Mass Effect, but still. love this game and look forward to watching your playthrough. also, buy tissues and blood pressure medication......gonna need it

[@travis3474]

So excited you're playing this game. It's truly an amazing journey to experience. I hope you get through it alright. That last chapter hit hard for sure.❤All three main stories are beautifully done though and create real emotions within the players, especially since decisions have to be made quick and in the moment. Anyway, have fun and also if you're interested, I'd definitey recommend going to watch the voice actor for Connor (Bryan) and his wife (Amelia's) KZbin channel. They did a Let's Play and it was so interesting hearing their points of view about the game and the behind the scenes info. Plus, they're just really nice people.🙌

[@kaliwali]

Awesome recommendation! That's very neat how him and his wife went through the storyline & I'd love to hear their view on things after I'm done with my play through! 💚

[@MajikMan1977]

Really really happy that you’re playing this game. Definitely a great game that elicits the same emotions as Mass Effect trilogy for me. Had a feeling that you would find Alice’s situation more emotional from what you’ve shared about yourself and your childhood. Got me tearing up seeing your reaction 😢 I don’t know how much further you’ve played but it won’t be too long that whole situation. Anyway, this is the perfect follow up game and if you haven’t already played ‘Life is Strange’ then please consider for sometime in the future. Can’t wait for the next upload! 😊 🦊 🤗

[@Deedric_Kee]

The actor that plays "Marcus was also in "Greg's Anatomy show and the movie " Your Place or Mine " 👏

[@Joker_JAK]

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.

[@kaliwali]

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 🤣🤣

[@Joker_JAK]

​@@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.

[@kaliwali]

I am scared for these moments bc I feel like I will fail lol @@Joker_JAK

[@lileric144]

​@@kaliwali❤❤❤❤

[@palfieisplaying8103]

I love your video. This game takes place in 2038 and its crazy to think that the 2030s is only 6 years away from now.

[@AcceptableEffort]

Intro cat boop, top tier content creator.

[@Mistoner1023]

Powerful gameplay I felt ur pain I empathize with you and thank you for your content game on !

[@Scottie_S]

I see that Lance Henriksen (Admiral Hackett) is one of the voices in this game. I've only just started watching your playthrough, so I'll be keeping an ear out for that lovely, gravelly voice!

[@kaliwali]

yesss! I noticed as I was editing and I'm very excited to see where his voice actor is in the game!

[@baliri]

I haven't noticed that, which character does he voice?

[@Scottie_S]

@@baliri I don't know yet. However, I'll know it when I hear it.

[@lileric144]

​@@kaliwali❤❤❤❤

[@GreywardenRimu]

This game came out in 2018 and still hold itself graphically among the latest games out there.

[@kaliwali]

I noticed this as well!

[@mojaal]

One of my fave games of all time. Just a tip: record your reaction before you even start the game. Later on, the game interface itself will give you a choice that’s permanent.

[@kaliwali]

oooo good tip, thank you!

[@ulisesyael8336]

An incredible game, thank you for bringing it! I hope The Walking Dead is also on your list, they're all worth it👀

[@kaliwali]

It is on my list!! Coming around end of summer/fall time ✨

[@mikek1274]

Well that was actually pretty interesting so see you next time then!👍Meanwhile your ME2 continues...

[@jeremythompson265]

This is going to be awesome and I definitely enjoy playing this game. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@juusolatva]

I bet the reason androids are used as negotiators is because they are seen as expendable.

[@ondrehayes3886]

The best game I ever played , So happy your playing this, I hope you enjoying this game

[@christinamae1902]

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 KZbin videos so I’ll be here binging these!!

[@isabellp.5730]

[@kaliwali]

thank you so much for the kind words and new sub! 💚

[@sergedamist9174]

I’m so happy u play this unforgettable game

[@supergirlvideoclips894]

I haven't played this game but will be cool to learn about this from your playthrough and witty one liners 😎

[@elise3455]

Oooh it's been a few years since I played Detroit, really looking forward to seeing your reactions! 😁

[@katg6884]

I know I'm a little late, but this was so such a good first episode! This is my first video of yours, and you're such a nice and calm person to watch. I immediately knew you were abused as soon as I saw your initial reaction to Todd and Alice. Takes one to know one. I'm not sure what kinds of abuse you endured, but I am so so sorry. I'm personally a victim of emotional abuse from my dad, and my mom is a victim of emotional and physical abuse from many people in our family, so the signs just show up to me instantaneously. When you started crying, I started crying too. I've watched this game dozens of times, so much so that I sometimes forget to cry in these really emotional parts, but now that I'm watching your series, my brain is like, "I need to cry with her!" haha. I'm very proud of you for overcoming these feelings and being brave. Definitely subscribing! Keep up the great work! :)

[@kaliwali]

thank you for the amazing comment! I'm glad you've been enjoying my journey in this game so far. It definitely takes one to know one and I agree that you can just tell.. we aren't alone and I'm so sorry you had to go through pain in the past, too. we will always be filled with a part of shadow and a part of light 🤍

[@kkickks]

about the first ramble: wow, you should start a podcast - very thoughtful insights

[@stell4you]

You are doing it great.

[@chrismarzarella2106]

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.

[@kaliwali]

yep! 💪🏻

[@GermanWehrmacht]

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.

[@dandelyon2796]

Can't wait for the rest of this game!
