Description:

Connor’s attempt at finding and arresting the cyber hackivist known as Illuminate goes awry when she instead reaches out and asks for his help. Curiosity piqued, a series of conversations leads him to the understanding that she means no harm to humanity, only to build a world in which humans and androids can co-exist as equals side-by-side- which starts him down the dangerous path of deviancy.

Caught between the understanding instilled upon him by his new friend Kate, the fear of being replaced by Zero, Dennis, and Nick, and Amanda’s expectation that he’s merely using her to find where the deviants are hiding, Connor’s investigation leads him to an Android Supremacist by the name of Nicodemus. Once an ally of Illuminate, he now believes that equality is just code for weakness, and that humanity’s time is at an end.

Kate struggles to maintain the status quo with the public while keeping Markus reigned in as he’s chomping at the bit to go to war with humanity for their freedom, but loses control when Jericho is raided by the FBI. With the situation spiraling out of control faster than it can be contained, she reaches out to allies old and new to quell the war before it begins, but will she be too late?

Notes:

**DBHI is on a brief hiatus while I finish up some client work, though we are aiming to be back soon. Please stay tuned!

 

"DBH: Illuminate" is an alternative canon, an entirely new story branch divergent to Detroit’s in-game narrative, where Jericho is assisted by a Cyber Activist known as Illuminate.
It is a retelling of the story you know and love, with an extended timeline and more immersive plot, a brand new list of characters and stories to invest in, and a story far beyond a successful revolution.
