The moving pickup truck finally stopped in front of a very run-down house.
Compared to the bustling downtown Detroit before, this was definitely a slum.
Entering the house, the middle-aged uncle Todd, with a face full of flesh, introduced Kara to the job she had to do.
Tidy up the room, wash clothes, cook, and take care of his girl Alice.
After explaining a bunch of things, Ben summarized these tasks in his mind.
Hmm, housework!
Looking at Todd, who lay on the sofa watching TV after speaking.
Ben, controlling Kara to stand still, was a little stunned.
Until her gaze fell on the current task prompt: clean the room, wash the dishes, tidy the clothes.
"So, where is Connor, the negotiation expert we talked about?"
"Why was I a ruthless cybernetic negotiator one second, and the next I directly turned into a domestic worker!"
Ben was speechless, the contrast was too huge.
Although the trial version didn't have any exciting big scenes, the cool and handsome Connor left a deep impression on him.
Including the negotiation process, it was a battle of wits, very exciting.
Finally, through his own clever negotiation, he cleared the threat and saved the hostage little girl.
Under the speechless gazes of Captain Allen and the others, he turned and left expressionlessly, which was full of presence.
But why is the experience of the official version so stifling?
A story about a male housekeeper and a female housekeeper?
And this house is a place humans can live in?
"This room! Damn it! Even a pigsty is cleaner than this place!"
Ben started cleaning the room with a broom. Under the immersive visual presentation, Ben was utterly speechless.
This room is really dirty!
Of course, it's dirty, but Todd, with his meaty face, made Ben want to punch him. Even when Marcus, the protagonist before, was knocked to the ground, it didn't make him feel so suffocated.
When cleaning the table, Todd, who was sitting on the sofa by the TV, would yell at him and complain: "Bastard, you're blocking the view!"
Why are you yelling so loudly, do you have to shout like that!
Ben wished he could kick Todd to death.
However, the game didn't allow her to do that. Instead, she had to bow her head and apologize to Todd.
Sweeping the trash on the ground into the trash can and then starting to wash dishes. At first, Ben was shocked by the many interactive details in the game.
But now, the details of doing housework are also very numerous!
"So, isn't this really a housekeeper simulator!"
Ben was completely speechless.
This life, oh no, it should be the life of a deviant, is too difficult!
Not only does she have to take care of the child, but she also experiences all kinds of housework inside and out, and is ordered around by Todd.
For example, when she controlled Kara to wash dishes, Todd, who was sitting there watching a hockey game, would shout for her to get him a can of ice-cold beer.
And while she was washing clothes, she accidentally discovered the red ice hidden by Todd in the laundry detergent, and was then choked by the neck and severely taught a lesson.
Although Todd is an old bastard, his daughter Alice is very cute.
The only thing that made Ben a little depressed was that Alice seemed to be very afraid of Kara and was also very silent.
This aroused some curiosity in Ben.
The entire game's actions are relatively free.
The player, playing as Kara, can still walk around the house and collect clues.
Only when encountering something that deviates from the plot will it be forcibly corrected.
While Ben was searching for clues, he basically understood some basic situations.
Like the homeless people he saw on the street before, Todd also lost his original job because of deviants.
Moreover, as a foreigner with no savings and a love for overspending with credit cards, this can be considered a common social phenomenon.
So after losing his job, Todd had no income and could only live on social welfare, his quality of life plummeted, and even his wife ran away with another man.
Then he indulged in drugs to escape reality, but this also made Todd's temper very irritable, and he would often get angry at Alice.
At the same time, through Alice's small box, it can be learned.
In fact, the reason Kara was sent back for repairs was not because she was in a car accident, as Todd had said in the store.
It was because, in a fit of madness, Todd wanted to lay hands on Alice, and Kara was damaged by Todd while protecting Alice.
And this was not the first time, and every time Kara was sent back for repair, her memory would be reset.
This is also why Alice is a little afraid of Kara.
Because Kara clearly knew her before, but every time she returned home after leaving, she acted like a stranger.
After understanding this information, Ben couldn't help but feel a sense of irony.
Todd lost his job because of deviants and thus hated deviants.
On the other hand, his daily life cannot be separated from deviants.
This is simply the biggest irony.
Including those people who beat up Marcus in the square before, when they returned home, weren't they also like Todd?
"But now I understand why Boss Lucas only released Connor in the prologue!"
As Kara's storyline ended, Ben couldn't help but sigh.
Because in the entire game, only Connor's trial version's plot made players feel cool and handsome.
As for Kara and Marcus, the game experience so far can only be described as suffering.
Walking on the street and getting beaten up for no reason, or being a slave doing housework for others.
Can it get any worse?
Let alone enjoyment, this entire experience is about being wronged.
However, apart from these, the three protagonists and their different experiences made Ben curious about the subsequent plot.
Each deviant protagonist is discriminated against, and the contradiction between humans and deviants can be clearly felt.
Marcus lets players understand the social environment between deviants and humans.
Kara lets players see what a family that hates deviants is like.
And Connor lets players know why deviant deviants appear.
So, in this situation, what direction will the game's subsequent plot develop?
Can deviants and humans live in peace in the end?
What direction will this future Detroit develop towards?
Also, since three protagonists are used, Ben believes that in the later stages, the three protagonists will also meet each other due to some events.
But what kind of events will they meet because of?
Undeniably, these points are quite attractive to Ben.
